Episode 63: An interview with Paxton Pomykal, the 19-yr-old FC Dallas midfielder

Paxton Pomykal was a standout performer for the U.S. U20s at the Concacaf Championship, and the creative central midfielder has come out swinging in 2019 for FC Dallas. He's started 3 of 4 games for one of the better teams (so far) in the western conference of MLS, and he's drawn attention on both sides of the Atlantic as a midfield orchestrator and disruptor in the press. He joined the podcast to talk about what's driven his success over the past 6 months, advice he received from U.S. U20 coach Tab Ramos, his role in Dallas under Luchi Gonzalez and the U20 World Cup in May.
