0:00.0	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. Hey, hey, hey, we're the champions of Kank, Kaff for the second time in two months.
0:19.0	The U.S. defeated Mexico 1-0 on a Miles Robinson goal in the 117th minute how appropriate it was for the
0:25.7	winner to come on a lovely dead ball from Kellyn Acosta and a textbook header from Robinson,
0:31.0	the two heroes of the night. We celebrate again. Greg, how are you doing?
0:35.0	Bells, I'm doing great. Eight wins summer for the fellas, and I'm going to say that the
0:40.0	present is bright. The present is bright, yeah.
0:44.1	What do you think is the brightest thing right now?

1:33.3	Yeah, we're getting to the point where we, um, yeah, we're gonna, like you said, we're gonna leave off players,
1:38.2	we wish we're there.
1:39.8	We can get into that, some of that I guess a little bit later and we it's not even just players we wish we're there in the scuffed sense of like man I really wish this like we could see this player like you know we have big dreams for a lot of prospects or hopes to at least see them.
