Taylor and Travis discuss the big news of the week: Jonathan Gonzalez will represent Mexico rather than the USA. What happened to bring about this change, what is the US Soccer Federation currently doing to foster interest in the national team among the country's Latino community, and what can it do in the future to ensure the USMNT doesn't lose another jewel to El Tri?
After that, they discuss the U17 and U20 Women's National Teams, and the issues facing those squads. Plus, 5 of the 6 Generation Adidas players for 2018 aren't technically domestic players. Is this part of the problem in terms of developing future USMNT players?
They also answer three listener questions:
1) Is it a disadvantage to play for
a non-MLS club in the development academy?
2) What are scouts looking for
when evaluating U14-U17 age groups?
3) Ives Galarcep released his “50 best Americans at the time of the 2022 World Cup.” Which players aren’t on there that you believe will be this time next year?
