Summary
We start by discussing the end of Jill Ellis' reign as USWNT coach, and the search for her replacement. Then we answer 9 (NINE!) listener questions:
—Why is US Soccer using soccer-specific stadiums instead of NFL stadiums for CONCACAF Nations League games?
—How are we definably better after one almost full year under the Berhalter tenure?
—Would Klinsmann have been a better Technical Director / General Manager than a coach?
—Does Bob Bradley's dominance of MLS after his perceived failure in the Premier League tarnish how the English / Europeans view the strength of MLS?
—For 6 and 9-year-olds, starting to really enjoy soccer, what skills or knowledge are most important to emphasize?
—Why don’t players who start on the bench have their uniform on already?
RB Salzburg vs Liverpool. Good tactics by Marsch or an off night by Liverpool?
—What is a "striker's finish?"
—Who plays the most Champions League minutes this campaign as a cap-tied American? [Adams, Weah, Pulisic, Dest or 0 total]
