This week on Greetings from the Garden State, powered by the New Jersey Lottery, we’re at the New York Red Bulls training facility in East Hanover talking with two Jersey-born standouts — Daniel Edelman (Warren) and Peter Stroud (Chester).

We dive into:
 ⚽ Their early days growing up in New Jersey soccer culture — from local fields to PDA to the Red Bulls Academy
 🏆 What it’s like to play professionally for your hometown team with friends and family in the stands
 🔥 Their MLS Cup Final run and the moments that meant the most to them on the pitch
 🇺🇸 How the 2026 World Cup could change the trajectory of soccer in the U.S., and why Jersey is ready to represent
 💪 Why playing in front of a passionate Jersey crowd hits different

Whether you’re a soccer fan, a New Jersey lifer, or just love hearing stories of homegrown success, this one will get you hyped for the future of the sport in the Garden State.

🎧 Listen now to hear why these two believe Jersey soccer is stronger than ever — and why they wouldn’t want to play anywhere else.
