TANI-TIME! From college soccer to Villarreal | Visualizing playing in a WORLD CUP for CANADA
Description
Villarreal's Tani Oluwaseyi reflects on the "unbelievable" feeling of pulling out his signature Tani Time celebration after scoring a goal against Ajax in the UEFA Champions League.
Herc delves into Tani's academic success as a valedictorian, the non-linear professional path that led him through USL's San Antonio, Minnesota, United in the MLS, and the surreal moment of receiving Jesse Marsch’s call-up to the CanMNT.
The Canadian striker takes us inside Marsch's locker room, detailing how Alphonso Davies helped him adjust and why Richie Laryea is the player every other team hates. Plus, Tani shares his honest opinion on Canada's 2026 World Cup group and his focus on consistent minutes in La Liga before the tournament.
