On today’s show, we are going to preview the U20 World Cup which starts this Saturday, May 20. The U.S. plays their first match against Ecuador on Saturday afternoon and then play their two other group stage matches against Fiji on May 23 and Slovakia on May 26.

To help me with this U20 World Cup preview, I’ve invited Brian Sciaretta to join the show. Brian is a writer at American Soccer Now. His work also appears in various newspapers across the country and he’s a frequent guest on Talksport & SiriusXM. You can follow Brian on Twitter at: @BrianSciaretta

We also spend the last part of the show discussing Folarin Balogun's switch from England to the United States and the impact this will have on the USMNT.
