    Extra Time: The Unlikely Rise of Jay DeMerit (with Jay DeMerit)

    One of the unique attributes of the 2009 US Men's National Team that beat Spain in the Confederations Cup was the dynamic makeup of the roster. From established stars like Landon Donovan and Clint Dempsey, to young emerging talent like Jozy Altidore, as well as young talents like Jonathan Bornstein. But once player's story became well known because of its unlikelihood. Jay DeMerit was a starting center back for that team after working his way into England's top flight as part of Watford.

DeMerit joined Founding Futbol to talk about the 2009 Confederations Cup win over Spain, his path to the Premier League with Watford and how that helped him land a spot on the USMNT. DeMerit also shares his current endeavor -- RISExSHINE -- and why he is passionate about helping harness the reality of a device-driven world to help our youth become well rounded individuals through development multiple forms of intelligence.

    Chapter Thirty:-One The US Shocks Spain, 2-0 (with Jonathan Bornstein)

    The US Men's National Team went to the Confederations Cup in 2009 hoping to continue its ascendancy in the global game, in advance of the 2010 World Cup. With teams like Brazil, Italy an Spain in the field, the Americans would have a chance to prove they belonged. However, the tournament got off to a bad start for the US, with two decisive losses. They scraped through to the knockout round by the skin of their teeth, setting up a showdown with Spain, the world's stop ranked team and widely considered the best international soccer team ever assembled. Coach Bob Bradley gave the players a gameplan that would put them in a position to stop Spain's 35-match unbeaten streak. With strong execution and a little luck, the Americans did the impossible and walked away with a win that changed the perception of the program. Jonathan Bornstein was a long-time Major League Soccer star, and member of that 2009 USMNT. The win over Spain was one of his 38 caps, and the current assistant coach of the Florida State women's soccer team joined the show to share his memories about that game, the Confederations Cup and more.

Something the represented new concept of training and youth development for America's growing soccer population. When US Soccer established the Bradenton residency of its U17 Men's National Team, John Ellinger was the man to run it.

Along with his brother Brendan, and the rest of his family, Mike turned the Eurosport into the first of its kind high-end soccer sporting goods catalog-based retailer.
