Hi, I'm Grant Wall, and welcome to the Planet Football Podcast, where I go in depth with the most intriguing people in the world of soccer.

On today's show, Sports Illustrated's Brian Strauss gives his thoughts on a busy time in US soccer,

including his recollections of his classic 2013 expose

revealing player dissatisfaction on the US men's national team with then coach

Yergen-Klinzman. The primary trend was that just of general confusion of

things not being explained of things being unpredictable changing lineups, changing schedules, changing plans for training sessions.

They didn't feel like they were being communicated with, they didn't feel like they knew what to expect.

All that and more coming up.
