Welcome to the scuffed podcast. I'm Adam Bells in Minneapolis. With me is Greg Velasquez and

Des Moines. We talk about U.S. men's soccer. Hey everyone hope you are enjoying the preliminary

hope you are enjoying the preliminary stages of this holiday season.

Just want to start by giving a long overdue thanks to our Patreon subscribers.

We don't mention it enough, but we really appreciate your support

and it makes this podcast possible in a very real way. Thank you. Today we will

catch up on the scuffed top 40. Greg, what are we hoping to accomplish?

Bells I think the assumption is that over at Soccer House, the Monday scouting call will basically just be a hitting play on this recording and making their future call-ups accordingly. Yeah, so two things, two things about that.

Speaking of Soccer House, they're having a board of directors meeting today, later today at 2 p.m. Central time.

So by the time you listen to this, it'll probably have happened.

And there's going to be a talent update from Booka Nagra and Stewart somewhere in the middle of that meeting.

Not a talent update, a technical update.

Yeah, a technical update.

There's also going to be a talent update.

I don't know what that means, but. I feel like I actually do think that's basically what your pod is they could

actually play your podcast or just read through your timeline for the talent

update yeah hopefully it's nothing that brings like human resources

crashing down upon everyone's head. And then the other thing is, so we've

we've gotten some I don't want to call it a ground swell, but we have gotten some requests to do the top 40.

So people are asking for it and we are gonna deliver here.

Should we get started?

Let's do it.
