Welcome to the scuffed podcast. I'm Adam Bells in Georgia. With me is Greg Velasquez in Iowa. We talk about US men's soccer. Thank you for downloading this episode of Scuffed.

Got a guest today, Chris Russell, also known as Waki.

He's made several videos specifically about gamesmanship and many other things regarding soccer

has kind of almost created a new genre of video always short sweet and focused on the action

adjacent to the action at least one of his videos has argued to the action.

At least one of his videos has argued for the children of America to more readily

fall down on contact in the penalty area.

I'm a huge fan.

So are you probably.

Chris, how are you doing?

I'm doing a well, Adam. It's good to be here.

Looking forward to talking through some of these important topics today.

And that is, children, do dive in the box.

So that negotiation I think is an important part and I think it's not talked about enough.

It's kind of a triangulation of justice really that's maybe even a quad

regulation of justice. Yeah, there's a lot of geometry involved. I mean, let me just try to set it up a little bit

uh... gamesmanship is part of all sports we all know that

uh... it's especially i think important in soccer
