Welcome to the Scuff Podcast where we talk about US soccer. Hey everybody we're going to do an old-fashioned just Greg and Bell's talking about a bunch of stuff

episode there's a lot going on every day these days and you can

you know catch up on the weekends action and the previous week's action every Monday

with the Monday review but that leaves a lot out so let's get right into it.

Well Greg how you doing? I'm all right bells I love an old-timey episode.

Well we got Champions League starting next week and already we're having these busy midweek slates with

You know the Premier League had a bunch of games yesterday. The championship had a bunch of games

But now you know starting next week there's to be just a lot of soccer for the next three months.

It's insane. It's insane. I posted the Chelsea fixture list through the World Cup, and it puts the championship to shame.

Like any of these players we have who are participating in any European competition

with those midweek games, they will be playing, their teams are playing two games a week

straight through the World Cup, with the only break being international break,

where our guys are gonna then go to a camp and play two games during that break.

Yeah, fly to Qatar and play the first group stage game, what, 10 days later?

Some of them will get there only seven days before the first game.

It's great for us.

I don't know how good it is for the players.

Hopefully the guys on the Super super clubs like Pulisic

probably will end up benefiting from this.

He's obviously not first choice at the moment for Chelsea.

You don't say.

Inevitably he'll have. He'll have to start some games. He's still going to play, you know, basically every game, but I'm sure he'll get some starts.
