Welcome to Life in 1-1-8! Donald (SSFC co-manager) introduces this new weekly podcast where he breaks down some of the issues facing the USMNT, USWNT and even the youth. Sometimes he will give some hot takes, and sometimes he'll just plain keep it real. While this will be a weekly podcast, if there's something worth discussing, we'll cover it!

On this inaugural episode, Donald discusses the Gold Cup provisional roster, who made it, and who didn't, and the combined U-23 training camp that will take place in Annapolis, Maryland. He then switches to the U-20 World Cup and highlights some players to look out for during the tournament that begins this weekend. Finally, he touches on the USWNT as they prepare for the Women's World Cup...which teams could challenge them?
