0:00.0	Welcome to the scuffed podcast. I'm Adam Bells in Minneapolis. With me is Greg Velazquez and
0:06.6	Des Moines. We talk about US men's soccer. The goals came in two bursts, an eight minutes stretch in the first.
0:14.8	The US won six to two, but it wasn't as good of a performance as you might think based on the score line.
0:21.6	The goals came in two bursts, an eight-minute stretch in the first half and a 12-minute stretch at the end of the game.
