Never thought I’d ever be on a press conference with a Hollywood actor talking football. But there you go. That’s what the crazy world of MLS can produce.
Speaking from what looked like his caravan or trailer, Matthew McConaughey, part owner of MLS expansion team Austin FC spoke passionately about how the sport captured his imagination through travel, his home town of Austin and his family’s love for the yellow-shirts of Brazil.
Not sure he had much choice on the last one. McConaughey’s wife, model and designer Camila Alves hails from the small Minas Gerais town of Itambacuri.
