The way people experience soccer is changing fast. Fans aren’t only getting their football from TV broadcasts anymore. They’re getting it from creators filming outside stadiums, reacting during matches, arguing in comment sections, and documenting the culture around the game in real time. Eli Lesser and El Soccer Guy sit down with Uri Rosell to talk about what soccer content creation actually looks like behind the scenes, how MLS fans consume the game today, and why creators are becoming part of the sport’s growth in the United States. This conversation goes way beyond social media clips. Uri, Eli, and El Soccer Guy talk about the pressure of posting during live matches, turning soccer content into a career, balancing fandom with work, and why the 2026 World Cup could completely change soccer culture in America. They also break down where MLS stands globally, the future of soccer media, and how creators are filling gaps traditional broadcasters still miss. Eli Lesser built his audience by covering MLS, supporter culture, transfer news, and the stories shaping soccer in the United States. What started as graphics during high school turned into a full-time career and a growing voice in American soccer media.
