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

Hey everybody, it's a beautiful morning.

Our U-20s beat France 3-0 at the U-20 World Cup in Chile yesterday.

Potch announced a roster that's a pretty good approximation of the top available American talent at soccer, and then

he mixed it up with reporters in the press conference yesterday. Fox has a World Cup ad out that is

fun as hell, and Fox's own Doug McIntyre is here with me to talk through the roster and the midweek Champions League action that preceded it. Doug, welcome back. Always good to have you. Good to be here, Adam. Thanks for having me. Have you seen the ad, by the way? Were you involved in that? Probably not. No, I wasn't and I haven't seen it. So thanks for putting me on blast immediately. Sorry bosses. I'll take a look at the ad

as soon as I can as we were talking about just before we got on here. Yeah, I was I was down in in New York

for Adidas's World Cup ball launch event with some of some of the editors. So I know we'll talk about

Champions League. I watched as much as I could. I did catch up after.

But I'm still catching up on things, including this ad that I've already heard about, but still not seen.

So I'm glad you enjoyed it.

I'm a sucker for that kind of stuff, like historical footage.

And I think it's Beethoven music.

Anyway, let's start.

I'll read the roster real quick just for those who are not on Twitter all day. The goalkeepers are Chris Brady, Matt Freeze, Patrick Schulte, and Matt Turner.

So Matt Turner returns after not being there for the last camp. The defenders are Max Arfston,

Cameron Carter Vickers, Alex Freeman, Mark McKenzie, Tim Ream, Chris Richards, Anthony Jedi Robinson, and Miles Robinson. We'll talk about the omissions in a second.

And then midfielders are Brendan Aronson making his return. Diego Luna, Weston McKinney makes his return,

Aidan Morris makes his return, Tanner Tesman makes a return.

Christian Roll-Don's back after really impressing Potch in the last camp,

and James Sands is going to make his first,

maybe get his first cap since 2023,
