Welcome to the Scuff Podcast where we talk about US soccer. The USA just beat New Zealand 4 to nothing in the round of 16 at the U20 World Cup more of the same from this Mikey virus coach team dominance lots of chances took a little while to get that second goal but we got it and then the next two came very quickly after that

here to break it down with me once again is Marcus

Shares the man behind the US Soccer Collective. Thank you Marcus for your time. How you

doing? I'm good happy to be back here, happy to celebrate another clean sheet, and excited to get into it.

Yeah, it's not really that different from the other three games so far, right?

No, more more the same.

Might have even had more of a Fiji feel than the other two games, honestly, but yeah, another

dominating performance.

So, just to give people a sense of what's going on,

Gambia and Uruguay are playing, what, Thursday,

and then we play the winner of that game I believe on

the 4th of June I think Sunday so we got to wait a few days to see to see who we're playing.

Yeah, two days until we know that.

And then we get much more rest than whoever wins that game gets.

So it seems like we're set up well to make a run at the semifinals

would be the first time in 34 years.

Yeah. Mostly good news. Let's just get into the lineups. We went back to the 3-5-2, which basically

we played last in the last game as well but it was Slanina in goal

Justin Shay Brandon Craig and Josh Winder across the backline a familiar

center back pair not a pairing, trio.

And then Gomez, Jonathan Gomez at right wing back

as he did against Ecuador.
