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

Hey everybody, we played an entirely rotated 11, Don't Tell Potch, against Uruguay and beat them five to one it was a

rare treat some are calling it a signature win Greg Velazquez is on the mic today another treat

how did this happen can you help us understand the miracle at raymond James stadium uh you know

you can't explain a miracle bells but you sure as hell should enjoy them.

And I really enjoyed this.

I feel like my bit for this is going to be that this window, this whole window, I feel like, was a nice lesson in uncertainty, right?

In the sort of humility that maybe should come with that.

There's an old film from the 1900s that had a line about dealing in absolute.

The 1900s.

And it turns out that it's both the Sith and USMNT Twitter that tend to traffic in these and we'll start

with our favorite which is Gio Raina and I feel like going into this window there were so many

people who were certain that Gio Raina just can't figure in for the national team right because

he's not he's not playing why would he why would he be a part of this team he's not playing

he would he would credible people credible people were this team? He's not playing. He would, he would.

Credible people.

Credible people were saying this.

Yeah.

It's just, it's just, again, to me, it's a completely different way of, like, understanding, even probabilities. Like, there's no way he will play. He can't, you know, he's, he's not playing at all. Like yeah, but surely there are ways that he might start playing for his club and then surely they'd.

But he, you know, we've been adamant.

He doesn't even necessarily need to do that. yeah, but surely there are ways that he might start playing for his club. And then surely they did, but he, you know, we've been adamant.

He doesn't even necessarily need to do that to make an impact for the national team.
