Welcome to the scuffed podcast. I'm Adam Bells in Georgia. With me is Greg Velazquez in Iowa. We talk about

US men's soccer. Thank you for downloading this episode of Scuffed. The U.S. men defeated Martinique, a territory of the Republic of France,

six to one on Thursday night in Kansas City in the Gold Cup group stage.

We're ready to recap it. Hey Greg!

Bells, how you doing? I had been led to believe there were no easy games in Kankacaf,

but I feel like that was a pretty easy game in Kankakaf.

Yeah, you were misled.

That game has no bearing on our FIFA ranking for anyone who meticulously tracks FIFA rankings because Martinique is not a FIFA eligible

nation.

I think it's just you and Jordan body who are doing that. the Martinique lineup I'll give that first was Mezlean and Gold

Don Babin Chaitinwa ander, I'm sure that's pronounced Boner, across the back line.

Are you sure that it's pronounced that way?

I'm, no, I'm not sure.

And then Camille Herrhele, Marajo, Fortune,

Abal, and Riviera are the front six, I guess you'd say.

And we had most the ball, let's see, let's talk about how we came out.

It was a little bit surprising, I. 343 or I guess you have some ideas on how to recite those numbers.

Well, my initial instinct is called a 343 four three was like a box midfield, you know a couple a couple of eight a couple of tens

Wing backs and a striker, but that's I mean that you can get as arbitrary as you want on your distinctions of how you label a formation.

So probably better to just talk about the roles people would play so we can just go through

the lineup and do that.

Okay.
