For the first time since 2014, the USMNT is back in the World Cup. Yes, qualifying was hairy and weird. Yes, we're terrified of how this is going to go. But the US has one of the best groups of talent ever assembled. That should matter, right? RIGHT???

On this episode of the podcast, Jonathan "T-Bone" Smith and Brandon Beam are joined by giant soccer fan and host of "Mad About Hoops" (a college basketball podcast) Colin Barringer to break down what the US can do in this World Cup. Discussion ranged from figuring out who the best pieces are for the US, Gregg Berhalter's tactics, what chances the US has against Iran, Wales, and England, and much more.
