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. Thanks for downloading this episode of Scuff. We are here to discuss the Olympic roster

in something like three parts. First, on a granular level, who's there, who's not, etc, etc.

Second, how does this list of call-ups compare to what the list would have been a year ago when the pandemic hit and third what does a true first choice U23 roster look like for the United States of America men's national team and how does it stack up historically?

Long time listeners will know what we're going to say about that,

but it never gets old for us.

Greg, how are you?

I'm alright Bells.

I feel like we've gotten a lot of news

for the U.S. men's national team in the last few weeks,

so it's good to have something to look forward to.

February kind of felt like a dry month,

national team-wise.

Yeah, it did. And now we're on a very wet month. The newest news is we're

going to be playing Jamaica in Wiener Neustat in Austria on March 25th, which was, did you know that already?

Was that like reported widely?

Because you like, you went into the lab and came up with like a whole Jamaica roster.

Now as soon as they announced the Northern Ireland

friendly for March 28th, I mean just a bunch of people

kind of just dug around and I say dug around,

like we did full cross-referenced logic puzzles about which teams were available on which dates.

And essentially everyone landed on the same thing.
