Welcome to the scuff podcast where we talk about U.S. soccer.

Hey, everybody, it's a Monday review.

Me and Vince here.

How you doing, Vince?

I'm just chilling, been deep in thought over this past window where we're heading uh what does it

all mean etc yeah where have you landed where have you landed um where so where i've landed is you can't tell me

the decisions that poch made in this window where with the aim to uh win the nations league

right you know what i'm saying like there's no way he makes these same decisions in a must, must win.

If it was the World Cup that Potra make the same personnel, personal decisions mostly.

But even, maybe even tactics wise, et cetera.

Right.

I think it would try to do something.

So it's like, we're in limbo, right, as fans.

It's like how much trust can you really put it?

Because I'm thinking back to like Greg Burhalter, right?

It took Greg, it took me maybe like three Greg Burrhalter mistakes in him learning from the

mistakes very slowly for me to give him some grace.

Like for instance, that Japan, Saudi Arabia window, after it happened, I was like, okay,

I'm pretty sure Greg's going to learn from this and we're going to come out in the

World Cup and look like a different team and he's going to make the proper adjustments. And he did.

Yeah, he's going to go hard into MMA basically was what we were hoping for.

Hard in the MMA and getting Aaron Long got out of there. And he essentially did it, right? And so now we don't have, we don't got the background with Potch.
