The One With Guillermo Ruiz

Austinite and FC Juarez goalkeeper Guillermo Ruiz has been a pro for just a few years. He talks about how Bush’s Chicken almost derailed his pro career, growing up in Austin, his time with Real Madrid, and the reasons he moved back to his home state over the summer to play across the border in Liga MX. Plus, Jimmy and Juan dare to repeatedly mention the P-word for Austin FC.
