Gold Cup: USMNT v Panama review
Wondering how we did 60+ minutes on one fairly mediocre game? Well, you'll just have to listen... but here's a quick preview. We get into the tactical adjustments in the game, with a helpful hand from Henry Bushnell of Yahoo Sports. There's also a chat about the goal itself, who impressed, and who struggled. Here's Henry's match report Starting around 33:12, we get into a lengthy semi-debate about what Berhalter is actually trying to do with his squad, how he wants them to think/play, and how much patience we should have for soccer that is occasionally very frustrating to watch. It's genuinely one of my favorite conversations we've had on the show, so hopefully you'll enjoy as well. Today's show is sponsored by FBREf.com.
