Welcome to the Scuff Podcast where we talk about US Soccer. Hey everybody this is Bell's introducing this episode which is a Sanjay Sujante

Kumar interview with Mark Mackenzie at a hotel in Rank on Sunday morning.

Sanjay is our roving correspondent in Europe for a few weeks here.

He's got a lot of irons in the fire, but the first interview he landed and was able

to record is this one with

Mark. Mark was generous with his time and they talked about a lot of things including

the differences between MLS and the Belgian League, his goal scoring form at the end of last season,

who's faster between him and Heath Pierce, many, many other things.

Enjoy.

Welcome to the Scuffs Podcast.

Sanjay here and I'm joined by Gank in United States men's national team defender, Mark

Mackenzie.

Mark, thanks for coming on the pod.

I appreciate you having me, man.

So. I was going to ask how you're doing but I think I know the answer to that to an extent

it's a cruel sport a couple of results didn't go your way this week

despite dominating the play in both games, you're out of UCL.

How are you doing right now and how the guys feeling?

Yeah, I think naturally you can feel a sense of, yeah, frustration and disappointment

and just with Wednesday's game, you know, you have UCL aspirations and you know, they kind of fall out of a fall out of your future just because

or temporarily I should say because of penalties, you know, when you leave it to chance like that sometimes it goes away and sometimes it doesn't

Though we we dominated for good stretches of the game but just didn't have the killer instinct the final third so yeah
