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. The roster is out.

Just before the financial markets closed Monday, U.S. soccer released the 24 call-ups for the friendlies with Columbia and Peru on October 11 and 16, respectively.

Awesome. Lots of stuff to chew on. Greg, how are you?

I'm good, bells. The roster announcement came early, caught us by surprise a little bit, but then it was

announced was coming early, and so I spent all day refreshing my various tabs.

And they gave us early, but still made us wait.

That's right.

And the whole scuffed production team was in an uproar over the weekend when we got

worried that it was going to come out early.

So we didn't get a chance to do our regular like roster projection slash pontification episode but we're ready to react to

Sarakin's choices because that's what we do and I think there's plenty to be

excited about here both in the yo I can't wait since and what in the Dickens is going on

here since I think there's a little bit of both on the internet today very

much the case.

There's a lot of old-timey swearing going on.

Dagnab it.

Let's jump in.

So I'll just read off the goalkeeper's defenders and forwards and then

Greg has kindly created some categories for the midfielders which is where there's a lot a little bit more interest I think and a lot more to discuss.

So goalkeeper's Zach Stephan, clear number one.

Are we agreed on that?
