#29 The Real Reason Sadio Mané Is Leaving Liverpool & The USMNT Goalkeeper Situation Is A Mess

In this episode of the Yankee Football podcast, Jack & Jake discuss Senegal star Sadio Mané deciding to leave Liverpool and why the real reason is his current teammate, Salah (at least in Jack's opinion).

Later, we discuss the ever-confusing situation regarding the USMNT starting goalkeeper. Will Matt Turner or Ethan Horvath steal the starting spot after Steffen withdrew from the June camp?

Other topics include:  Steven Gerrard needs to get top 6 next season to keep his job, the huge Iran-Canada cancelled friendly debacle, and the next Vietnamese footballing superstar.

In this episode of the Yankee Football Podcast, your favorite Yanks debate where two current USMNT stars should move in the summer: Goalkeeper Zack Steffen and US starboy Christian Pulisic. Do their destinies lay in the premier league? Or is a trip down under their best bet at achieving their potential?

Elsewhere, attention turns to Manchester United man Antony Martial who had a near-disastrous loan spell at Spanish giants Sevilla. That prompts the question - what's next for the guy? Is his career, after all the injuries and disappointment, officially finished?

Finally, Jack makes his case for why Tottenham Hotspur talisman Son Heung Min is the best Asian footballer of all time after his golden boot award and overall proclivity to dominate the best footballing sides in the world.

In this episode of the Yankee Football Podcast, your favorite Southern Boys do a deep dive into the USMNT's group for the Qatar World Cup. While many fans reacted with positive excitement when the group was announced, we are much more pessimistic about our chances to progress. Absolutely zero points are guaranteed in this group that consists of the best England squad in decades, 3 formidable & organized European potentials, and an incredibly slept on Iran team.

How do YOU guys think the UMSNT will do in this group? Is the Round of 16 very doable? Or will Gregg Berhalter and Co leave Qatar in a shroud of despair?
