The September roster is here! This week, U.S. Soccer announced which 23 players will represent the Men's National Team for two friendlies against Korea Republic on Sept. 6 and Japan on Sept. 9.  

Our hosts share their instant reactions to the announcement before diving into a conversation with Everett Palache, head coach of the U.S. Men's Deaf National Team. Palache highlights his team’s preparation for their upcoming doubleheader with the U.S. Women’s National Team on October 26 and the Deaflympics, which kicks off in Tokyo in November. The conversation also touches on the broader impact of the Deaf National Team and the importance of representation and inclusivity in sports.
