A bonus episode of The U.S. Soccer Podcast revisits a #USMNTClassics Pre-Game Chat as Bob Ley, Taylor Twellman, and Alexi Lalas relive their adventures broadcasting the unforgettable SnowClasico match. Our three guests prepped for their most unusual night of broadcasting as the MNT took on Los Ticos at Dick's Sporting Goods Park. A cloud hung over proceedings following scrutiny over a loss in the opening match of the Final Round of 2014 World Cup Qualifying and literal blizzard-like conditions rolled over Denver in the lead-up to kickoff. Despite the formidable conditions, the USA earned a crucial 1-0 victory  thanks to a 16th minute goal from Clint Dempsey.
