Play-In Game Preview, and USMNT European Camp Breakdown


Listen Later

The dawgs are feeling bullish about Nashville SC’s chances in their Play-In game against 2020 expansion counterparts Inter Miami. But positivity around the danged Boys in Gold is old news now; for the first time in years, there’s optimism around the USMNT after their successful camp and friendlies with European-based young talent.

Regarding the Gold (Yellow?) & Blue:

  • Can we just go ahead and call this a playoff game?
  • Which expansion team is set up better for the future?
  • How much confidence can we take from Mukhtar’s return?
  • Is a team like Nashville set up for tournament success?
  • Josh’s earth-shattering theory on the Anibal Godoy “injury” (stay woke)
  • Who starts at striker?
  • The lads grade Gary Smith’s season (thus far) and it goes exactly as you’d expect
  • What’s the deal with tickets for the game?

Regarding the Red, White & Blue:

  • What can Yunus Musah bring to this team?
  • Weston McKennie’s progression
  • Great performances from European-based strikers - but are our best options up top still playing in MLS?
  • Hot takes on all of the new faces
  • How good can the US be once Pulisic is back in the mix?
  • What do Walker Zimmerman’s chances of getting into this team look like?

All this and more, including Donald’s patented Weekly 8-Touchdown Parlay (guaranteed to make you money).

Here’s an article about the bonkers Gold Cup semi-final the dawgs were at in 2015: https://www.nytimes.com/2015/07/24/sports/soccer/messy-mexico-panama-semifinal-worthy-of-concacaf.html?_r=0
