Greg and Belz talk through another very satisfying win over El Tri. Tyler bombazo, Gio player of the tournament, a bit of a slugfest from both teams on Sunday but it feels like we're cruising these days with regard to our biggest rival.Subscribe to Scuffed on Patreon!

#499: Folarin Balogun joins the pod

Greg and Belz on the heavily rotated side that faced South Korea a second time, our struggles this time to play through the middle and the lack of viable alternative approaches, the flip-switching moment when the first-choice attacking group came on, and then, of course, Lily Yohannes's glorious debut, at 16 years of age.———Subscribe to Scuffed on Patreon!

#498: USWNT vs South Korea (St. Paul edition)

Jon Arnold, one of the nation's leading Concacaf scholars, joins the pod to talk about the USA's group at the Copa America: Bolivia, Panama and Uruguay. As is our custom we strayed from the agenda and discussed the Columbus Crew's loss to Pachuca in Champions Cup, why Mexico isn't a global power in soccer. But the core of the episode is backgrounders on the USMNT's group opponents in this upcoming tournament. No huge surprises but you will surely be able to impress at cocktail parties with a little more depth on Bolivia's mediocrity and Panama's relative strength under Christensen.———Sign up for Jon's newsletter, Getting CONCACAFed, which covers “the good, the bad, and the weird and wild of soccer in the Concacaf region,” here: https://getconcacafed.substack.com/———Subscribe to Scuffed on Patreon!
