Welcome to the scuffed podcast. I'm Adam Bells in Georgia. With me is Greg Velazquez in Iowa. We talk about

US men's soccer. Thank you for downloading this episode of Scuffed. Thanks especially to our patrons who have stuck with us through thick and thin and

we're trying to make this thing a little more thick right now with a dive into a

small group of players that we are paying an inordinate amount of attention to. Greg what's up man?

Bells was that your attempt at a Georgia dialect? Have you adopted a Georgia

dialect? Did you see how I typed the word thick the second time? I did notice that.

No, things are good.

The competitions are coming thick, and at times I feel like the quality can be a little thin. We're kind of getting at this

brand new experience of what it's like when when the club side of things isn't just

one big celebration now that now that some of the boys have officially made it.

Yeah, well it's a tough world up there at the top.

It's a doggy dog world as the

Sirgenio Dest found out on earlier this week, you know,

Kilian Mbape had a hat trick down his side of the field,

in a 4-1 win for PSG over Barcelona as a train wreck and and desk I think was largely

credited for the loss you know in the in the Spanish and French press at least you know yeah something where he's I'm sure he's not credited with the loss he's he's a focal point of the performance

I would say very much a focal point. He was given the lowest

rating. I mean, you know, people have been pointing this out to me from all over

the world over the last few days. He was given the lowest rating by just about

every news organization that covered the game

And I don't think that's fair. I don't think it's fair at all

Honestly and I hope I have established my bona fides as not being a Homer, but you know I put a video on
