00:00I mean, everybody's gonna say Luna.
00:02Diego Luna.
00:02Diego Luna.
00:04My friend over here has got a Diego Luna jersey.
00:07If you've been following the US national team over the past 18 months,
00:10you will know all about this guy.
00:12Diego Luna.
00:13The 22-year-old sensation forced his way into the team last year
00:17with his combination of talent, creativity and bravery,
00:20and will spend this summer at home.
00:24That's because Mauricio Pochettino,
00:26despite using Luna in 17 out of 18 games last year,
00:29has stunned fans by dropping Luna for the World Cup squad.
00:33It was so painful for me, you know, to make the decision,
00:37but that is my job.
00:39I'm at the USMNT's pre-tournament friendly against Senegal
00:42to see what supporters think of the decision.
00:45We were actually just talking about this.
00:47I was disappointed, of course, not to see Diego Luna.
00:49I like his passion and his energy,
00:51so I was disappointed not to see him on the roster.
00:54I know there's a lot of backlash with leaving players out,
00:57like Luna, for example.

01:01We loved watching Diego Luna last year,
01:04so we're gutted for him.
01:05I just really like his scrappiness,
01:07and I feel like that's generally the kind of vibe
01:10that Americans like in the soccer team,
01:13is that scrappy aspect and kind of us being an underdog
01:17and then trying to fight our way to the top.
01:19It's a major blow for Diego Luna, for many fans,
01:22and for the poor marketing teams,
01:24who bet big on Luna having an impact this summer.
