Summary

The U20 World Cup begins May 23 and the U.S. roster will drop in just over a week. Matt Hartman (@mattshartman) joins to chat about that roster — who we’d like to see on it, who’ll miss out, and why. You don’t want to miss Hartman’s 5 principles of a Tab-selected U20 World Cup squad. We then (pretty much) settle on a roster and an XI for the tournament.

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 up fast. It's three weeks away and according to Brian Shoretta, the Tab Ramos
0:25.6	roster reveal is 10 days away. May 10th.
0:29.5	Matt Hartman's on the phone with me to talk about the roster we're going to get specific about who
0:34.2	we'd like to see called up and why. Matt thanks for dialing in again appreciate it.
0:40.0	No problem bells glad to be back.
0:42.0	Awesome let's do this but first we should set aside two names just for the moment I think

1:05.0	They may be included in this roster.
1:06.6	I think that's still sort of possible.

1:20.3	Yeah I'm in agreement the way I view, I'd rather have Weiya and Sergeant playing for the full national team.
1:27.0	I'd rather have them there than with the U-20s. That being said, I think I'd rather have them playing at the U-20 World Cup than warming the bench at the gold cup.
1:35.0	So I think it's a decision that's up to Berhalter who's hopefully communicating with TAB about his intentions for WIAa and the senior team. If he doesn't view them as
