Mike Sorber reflects on his time with Pumas

Mike Sorber, now an assistant coach with the Philadelphia Union in Major League Soccer, was one of the first norteamericanos to ever play in Mexico. I spoke with Sorber after a morning practice with the Union about the start of his professional career with Pumas in 1995. He was recommended by the United States National Team coach and former Pumas player and manager Bora Milutinovic that they give him a look. “He (Milutinovic) still had a good relationship with the club, with the directors, and with the coach Tuca (Ferretti) who had played for Bora” Sorber said.
