We are less than a week away from kicking off World Cup Qualifying and the guys have a lot on their minds. On this week’s From The Stands, Jason and Jared break down the entire roster and pick their strongest XI. Is this Matt Turner’s time to start? Will Gregg Berhalter go with a 3 CB backline and if so who is he starting? Ricardo Pepi finally gets the call in and the US needs to cap tie him in this window. Plus, is Christian Pulisic going to be able to play? Finally, the guys react to the awesome US Soccer hype video that dropped this week.  From The Stands is a weekly show where Jason Davis talks to podcasters, bloggers, journalists and supporters of clubs that are home to some of the United States’ current and legendary players.

Marsch Goes Canuck, Gio Fails at Forest, Johnny Cardoso's Bright Future

  No Jared this week (like he has a life or something?) so Jason decided to do something a little different. Instead of breaking down the soccer news without the Rodius, Jason went through his deep-ish soccer jersey collection and shared stories about how he ended up with jersesys for "clubs" like Master Shake FC and the LA Riot.    This episode is obviously very visual, so if the podcast isn't cutting it for you, GO WATCH IT ON YOUTUBE! It don't cost nothin' and it helps the show.    Here's the link to this episode: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y7oLYEHjJSQ   While you're there, be sure to like and subscribe.   Sign up for the Patreon (it don't cost much) to get access to the Besties Slack, The Best Bonus Show, and much more.
