Welcome to the Scuff Podcast where we talk about US Soccer. A pretty fascinating night of soccer across the Western Hemisphere last night.

Uruguay, coached by Marcelo Bielso, gave Argentina a 2-0 slap in the face at the Bonbonetta and then Colombia beat

Brazil on too late Louise Diaz goals. Oh the drama in Barangia, and the Panama humiliated Costa Rica at home 3-0.

And then in Austin, we got a comfortable victory over Trinidad, right, Greg? I mean, I feel like the way you're reading you were going to say and then we lost to Trinidad in a 3-0 victory.

I should have said that. Yeah. It did feel like that. You know, we've talked a lot about the psychology of watching games like this where you don't get your goals until late, even if it tends to feel like they are coming. And that's what my experience was.

the accumulated frustration can be a lot. It can take its toll.

Yeah.

score the goal and we still want more because of the nature of the tie like the

body language there's a shift and suddenly instead of like flailing we're like

hunting it is still aggressive.

But now it's like, oh, now we are after it.

I had a little fear creep in in the second half as we, you know,

I was like, are there really only 10 minutes left?

We still don't have a goal?

I want to know how many people were double checking the

Nations League rules to figure out what the playoff would look like if we don't beat

Trinidad in this two leg a tie like all right so if we lose this

then we just have a one-off playoff against another loser to still

make the coper right right is that what it was excited look I didn't look it up I didn't make I didn't
