Total Soccer Show: USMNT, Champions League, EPL, and more ...

On the first installment of our Thanksgiving themed episodes, we take turns discussing a few holiday-themed questions:

1) Who are we inviting to our soccer-specific Thanksgiving?

2) What teams/players/coaches are the best representations of traditional Thanksgiving foods?

3) What are the soccer-related topics that should be off limits for any Thanksgiving celebration?

Former USMNT defender Steve Cherundolo joins the show to discuss his start in Germany, Americans playing in the Bundesliga, his future aspirations, and the current state of the USMNT.

There's also a bonus segment at the end of the show (about 10 minuets) recorded in the lobby of our hotel in Frankfurt. It was after a very late night, so credit to Steve for sounding chipper throughout.
