0:00.0	Welcome to the Scuffed Podcast. I'm Adam Bells in Minneapolis. With me is Greg Velasquez and
0:06.1	Des Moines. We talk about U.S. men's soccer. This isn't determining player standing or value or anything. This is just one squad being called in for one group of games and nothing more than that.
0:31.0	Oh, but is it?
0:34.7	Good morning.
0:35.8	Coming to you from the gradually thawing American Upper Midwest,
0:38.9	we have convened to talk about a new roster.

1:48.6	Josh, Sergeant, Tim Wea, maybe Duane Holmes, depending on how, you know, deeply ensconced you are in USMNT, Twitter who else any other major omissions? I guess I guess the Fabian Johnson revival was short-lived. It was aborted and aborted. was sort of the major omissions.
2:03.0	There might be a couple other guys sort of on the fringes.
2:05.8	And then the other question that I kind of have
2:07.4	is whether there's anyone from the January camp
2:11.8	who's not in this camp that might still be in the
