Daryl Grove and Will Parchman welcome you to the second episode of The TopDrawerSoccer Show.

Up for discussion:

The U17 World Cup draw — was it good news for the United States, and are we right ot be excited about this team? 

MLS Development Academies — what commonalities do the successful MLS academies share? What do the not-so-successful academies share? And is Oscar Pereja really as committed to HomeGrown Players as we all think?

Prospect of the Week — Whose name is ... revealed in the show. So you'll have to listen to find out.

Listener questions from the TopDrawerSoccer mailbag:

1. Which player sees the most minutes in 2018: Ethan Horvath, Cameron Carter-Vickers, Emerson Hyndman, or Lynden Gooch?
2. In 10 year's time, what position will the US be best known for producing?
3. How does girls' soccer development differ from boys in the US? What is the typical path an elite girl might take?
