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. Welcome to the Scuffed Podcasts, This is part two of a collaboration with the

Total Soccer show in which Darrell Grove and I, Adam Bells, talk U.S. men's

national team soccer. The first part is available from the Total Soccer

show, so go to their feed to listen to it.

Let's pick up where we left off.

Ben Herald, aka Half Spaces, give him a follow on Twitter, very good account.

Berhalter has mentioned Tyler Adams doing his quote-unquote own interpretation of the

number six role.

What does this mean?

It seems to me that Adams can do everything you will or Bradley can do plus some.

What does it mean to you? I think it means that in the way that

like Yule or Bradley can sort of control the tempo of a game to some extent by

being the guy that keeps receiving passes and

playing short passes and almost dictates the rhythm of the game a little bit that

Tyler Adams does not do that right? Maybe he could do that in that you could like check off the various skills he has and say and then you could come to the conclusion that he should be able to do that.

But that's just not the way Tyler Adams plays the game, right? He has grown up and even with one transfer has spent his entire life in the Redball system where the Redball is you play as if you drank a load of Redball.

It's about, like their soccer is very unbranded. It's about moving the ball forward quickly and you risk losing

possession but then you don't worry about it because then you're going to go and win it back anyway.

So when Berhalter talks about him doing his own interpretation is he's talking about being open to that possibility of just having a six who's drank a load of Red Bowl and just wins the ball back?

I think it might be that like maybe someone else and just wins the ball back?

I think it might be that maybe someone else
