Welcome to the scuffed podcast. I'm Adam Bells in Minneapolis. With me is Greg Velasquez and

Des Moines. We talk about U.S. beat Panama 3-0 in an often pleasing game of soccer

to open the Berhalter era.

It's shortly after the game on Sunday and Greg and I are here to talk about it.

Greg, how are you?

Adam, Tyler Adams is dominating the Bundesliga and Greg Berhalter is dominating

com-calf. Her long national nightmare is over. Indeed, only the most hateful of haters can come away from tonight, today,

unencouraged, I would say.

Let's start by talking about the lineup.

Zach Stephan and Gold, Nick Leymah and Daniel Lovitz at Fullback, I'm not sure I'm pronouncing that right.

It says everything that you have to very carefully say the names of the of the fallbacks.

I think that's how sort of unexpected the fallback selections were.

Yeah, I mean I guess I sort of expected Lima to maybe play on the left but

Walker Zimmerman and Aaron Long were the centerbacks no big surprise there

Christian rolled on and Mehalovich were the eights with Michael Bradley sitting

behind them as the six and then we had a front three from right to left of

Corey Baird, Jazzy'sardis up top, and Jeremy Obisay on the left wing.

What were you surprised by with the lineup?

Anything?

I mean, I kind of have some big takeaways from the lineup, and they're kind of bigger than just this roster.

Well, before we get to that, before we get it, let's just give like the conventional surprises right all right

regi cannon being left off the 11 surprise me I'm sure it surprised most people
