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. Three games in the books for the USU 17s at the Cock-Caff Championship down in Bradenton and three wins, but not all

wins are created equal. Joining the pod today is the hero of US men's soccer Twitter

at USMNT videos. He has anonymously U.S. Men's soccer Twitter at U.S. M. N.

videos. He has anonymously transformed the landscape of U.S. M.

T. Fandum. I don't think that's an exaggeration.

Makes it far easier to develop educated opinions about the player pool with his highlight

reels in all touches videos which should be familiar to many of you.

Let me just say these things are a lot of work and he deserves our gratitude and crucially

for our purposes today the home he watches a lot of

soccer including the U17s over the past five days so here we are welcome to the pod man

thanks for joining me yeah i'm really thanks for having me y'all.

Yeah, I'm really excited to be on the pod day to recap the U17's group stages.

Yeah, I appreciate your time.

Before we jump in, let me just give a couple of my classic disclaimers first of all these players

we're going to talk about are still developing some of them will get better as

soon as like next week so everything is evolving sometimes very quickly. Also we recognize don't we that

the U17 age group is not going to be the next single's U-20 team and you know

the senior national team is even further away you more or less agree with

those things yeah for sure I think I mean I don't want to get too ahead here but I think we were

a little spoiled by the U-20s qualifying.

They looked really good and E-17s weren't as good as that.
