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

Hey, everybody, we beat Senegal three to two.

It looked good doing it.

We faced Germany on Saturday in Chicago, but first, Vince and I are here to recap yesterday afternoon in Charlotte, North Carolina. Vince, how you doing?

I'm doing good, Adam Bells. And, you know, it's just amazing to see what this team doing while on the pitch can do for my general spirits.

You know, yesterday felt like it felt like something. You know, it felt like an arrival, a christening or something.

Like the World Cup is officially here.

You could feel it on the field.

You could feel it in the stands.

You know, the fans in Charlotte, Bank of America Stadium.

It was mostly packed.

Just an empty, empty side up there in the in the top top top of the stadium

but um more more than it being like mostly packed you know that the energy that the fans brought

yeah felt much different than anything we've seen prior in the past year or two for sure i would

say and you know it even got

it even got rave reviews from christian polisic christian polisic was gushing about it yeah no you

not a gusher oh not a gusher brother not a gusher at all so you know it had to be special and yeah

it just felt it felt like something man and you know to the, I was considering driving and taking my oldest and driving up to Chicago for this match against Germany.

And, you know, this performance that we got yesterday might just be the battery that I needed in my back to go ahead and do it.

Okay.

It's five hours both ways, but, you know, these boys don't come out here and

play like that. Let's do it, man.
