Welcome to the Scuff Podcast where we talk about US soccer. The US U-20s fell at the U-20 World Cup in Argentina losing 2-0 to Uruguay.

The sad responsibility of recapping this game falls to me and

Matt Hartman are you doing Matt? I'm right there's always a little melancholy

with when a you 20 cycle ends but um it always ends in the

quarterfinals the same way yeah Groundhog Day. What were you gonna say? It's it's kind of a

weird thing but like for me like with these with you 20 cycles in particular I would think

about these players for so long that by the end of these cycles I'm always like all right

let's just get on with it like I just want to start thinking about the next one.

Yeah. I mean it is kind of a gift that keeps giving that way. There's always a new hope. It's the now we're

entering the Calvin Sullivan era are we not? That's maybe a little

far away. The next cycle is 0-5 so he's in 0-9. Okay yeah right. Well, thanks for keeping everybody grounded. We ran into a savvy, tough, well organized team, you know, and we just, I don think we played it a terrible game or anything

though we had two key moments and we couldn't score

there you have it

simple as that.

Yeah, thanks for listening.

The annoying bit about this soccer thing is that you have to score those goals and if you don't nothing matters.

There was a lot, there was a lot of story to sort of unpack in this game I thought.

Just got off the conference call with Mikey Varus, a one but you know he made the point that that

early goal really did rattle them pretty good which I think was evident on the telecast and it took it took half time and you know some

changes for us to even start to create some danger again because we were bright I

thought we were bright right off the bat. Looked pretty good.

Yeah, yeah totally.
