‘THIS WAS MY DREAM’ Seb Salazar says goodbye to Futbol Americas 👏 | ESPN FC

[@RubberDicky]

I worked in broadcasting for 20 years. It’s rare a host is permitted to say goodbye on air. Good on his boss.

[@MaximusTheChosenOne]

why is that?

[@RubberDicky]

They fear you will go on air and say something bad about the company. The also think the brand is bigger than a host. But mostly it’s just program directors are insecure power tripping guys who couldn’t make it on air and end up behind the scenes.

[@theCranesUS]

Same for radio. Worked in radio for 10 years

[@lightingbolt8148]

True. One day they’re there and you notice they’re haven’t been on for a couple weeks

[@cre8ivjay]

It sounded like it was his decision to leave, no? That's the sense I got.. if so, why would he say anything bad?

[@HenryKoelling]

Thank you Seb! You are a joy to watch.

[@TheGiveNGo]

Legend, thank you for all you've done Seb! Wishing you the best.

[@eduardotorres6108]

You gotta bring Seb as a guest to know more about him 🙏

[@casualreader259]

Bittersweet. Wishing you all the best Seb! You are a class act and an incredible host/analyst.

[@miguelmangual289]

Seb you will be missed Futbol Americas won’t be the same without you

[@aldwulfe9333]

It wasn't Seb in particular but the chemistry and banter between Seb and Herc that made the show. Won't be the same without him.

[@flipsicle1568]

Gonna miss Seb so much. Futbol Americas won't be the same without him at all. Him and Herc made the best show possible

[@MichaelWalker-wu2pq]

Seb, always take care of family first. So, wherever you're headed next, I appreciate your hard work here and I look forward to what you do next in life which I'm sure will revolve around futbol. Take care!

[@mattorlando415]

Thanks for everything Seb! Loved your passion on the show.

[@civee9357]

Seb is one of the few to report on both the women's and men's side equally as well. From the Yates Report to the injustices in Qatar, he made the show, with Herc, compelling and human. He may come on the show to give his voice to various topics, but he will be missed in the driver's seat.

[@Lexi-Vaandril]

I followed ESPN FC because I saw Seb in one of the matches while checking football matches two years ago. good luck Seb.

[@soluscristus1]

Love the Campos sweater.

[@noelcastellon97]

My son always love hearing Seb saying Futbooool America in the beginning of the show as he repeats after , will be missed but will see you around.

[@ravensmedical9153]

A true professional and class act. Seb is an amazing host bringing a different energy and style to ESPN. Your chemistry ⚗️ with Hercules, who's an amazing host in his own right, is so organic and genuine that's very refreshing. Fútbol Americas is one of my favorite ESPN programs. Your honesty, diligence, and authenticity is appreciated and will be missed. Muchas gracias, Seb. Mis mejores deseos para ti y tu familia.

[@sethdaniel1115]

This show sucks and so do herc and seb

[@mrblondie]

Nothing but a pure professional, coupled with his love for the game.

[@SeaTownGunner]

What a legend. Thank you for all the years and the wonderful memories, Seb. You sure left a mark in covering the game we love. Futbooooooooooooool America. Love you. man.

[@kadabur]

Thanks for always being truth regardless of stepping on some toes. Best of luck Sebi!

[@lukegerr]

Awesome host/talent. A real inspiration for soccer fans in the states.

[@Olsen.Grafik]

Seb I have been watching your career and I honestly think you are a perfect candidate to have a KZbin show for yourself. You have good energy and your own views which are refreshing as a host I think sometimes the studio show wasn’t in your wheelhouse. But I can tell you by looking through these comments you could do well on your own KZbin channel. Best mate

[@luniz4209]

I hope that your authenticity and professionalism remain as your legacy.

[@lexpages7171]

Really sad to see Seb leave. We've loved every minute of you on the show. All the best! We will welcome you back with open arms.

[@fastbreak0822]

Seb is the only truly genuine dude who keeps it real as often as humanly possible regarding the poor soccer in America and Mexico et al........ May you find success bro..... One x

[@chaoqi]

Best of everything Seb! Happy holidays!

[@CVA193]

Seb it was amazing to watch you grow in espn. I was proud watching a DC united fan move up the ranks

[@davidt3956]

While I've always questioned his analysis, he and Herc were a great team. It's sad to see him pushed out as we finally see ESPN focus on soccer in the Americas with English programming.

[@luispreciado4204]

you have been a joy to watch!

[@charaarj]

much love seb. you've been amazing.

[@isaacs8205]

We will miss you Seb. Best of luck to you and your family.

[@paulkartsyart4415]

Oh man, gonna miss your insight and vitality, Seb! You have made following soccer so much more fun. Look forward to seeing you again in whatever capacity you come back.

[@AKUNJIG]

Seb, It was great to meet you in person during a Der Klassiker Watch Party in Atlanta, even though I was the only one Wearing a Chelsea Kit. I only found out about the Location while I was watching a Match just up the Street. Thank you for the Photo.

[@copadelmundo2026]

Thanks Sebas.. you made this show great. And you and herc were great together.. we'll miss you. And props to you for choosing family over work. Not a lot of people can make that decision. Hasta pronto.

[@alexbar1111]

Love the passion Seb brought to the beautiful game! Hopefully we see him on air soon wherever that may be.

[@bernardjansen6205]

Enjoyed watching you. Cheers, all the way from South Africa.

[@Golflegend410]

I don’t watch Seb a lot, but when I did he seems very passionate about the game. Take care of your family Seb, and good luck!

[@WingZ3r00]

Thanks for your work Seb. I will watch or listen to your next project. Good luck wth everything!!

[@lungiswamatshaba]

[@ricodelavega4511]

Apple should scoop him up, for the spanish side of their mls broadcast

[@caseyryder8164]

@ he’s stepping aside for family reasons. He doesn’t have time to work full time at Apple

[@valp8198]

Seb is amazing. Ultimate professional. Incredibly talented. Even greater man.

[@Smouse168]

[@tenthwardstudio6467]

All the best to you and your family. Dang, really liked you sitting behind that desk. You taught me a great deal about Futbol.

[@jivescript]

Seb is a great character. gonna miss seeing him as often as i do now. i hope all is well with him and his family. im sure he’ll be back to work entertain us all in the future.

[@enohpius2212]

I was fun listening and watching you on this program. The chemistry with Gomez was really great

[@Barca4Life777]

Thank you Seb! You and Herc are the reason I realized Futbol was on ESPN. Your love for the sport and your craft is immense. Much blessings to you and your family on your future endeavors mi hermano!
