The U-S Men’s Soccer Team takes the field this evening at SoFi Stadium for their opening World Cup match. They’ll be taking on Paraguay.


It’s the first time the U-S has hosted the global event since 1994. Cobi Jones was a midfielder for that 1994 team, before starring with Major League Soccer’s LA Galaxy.


Jones spoke with my California Report colleague Keith Mizuguchi about his experiences in 1994.
