For the CREST Podcast

CNL, Nations League, who goes where and what the boys are up to with their clubs

Review of Wales vs USMNT. What we saw, what we didn't see, what we liked, and what we didn't like.

Michelle's live reaction to the November 2020 USMNT roster! Might try to do this again sometime, but we are just really excited to have camp again after 11 long months. PS ignore the clock in the background.

A lot of talk about the youth players. Including their roles with their clubs, the national team, and their futures. What is the reality of facing World Cup Qualifiers with mostly U23s? What about the player pool and Berhalter's tactics? The major movers are discussed and the backlash for our boys when they challenge themselves, as well as the unwarranted hate for some of our big name players despite the approval of mangers/sporting directors/and scouts. We also break down the probable move of Sergiño and Michelle explains why a Barça move is not as bad or risky as the original speculation and backlash from USMNT fans indicates. And of course there is touch of #DualNationalPanic

The summer depth and Top 40 evaluations...after dark! Recorded after 1 in the morning following the longest weather delay. Brought to you by caffeine. Tweet us or email us with questions/comments on why we put players where we did and who was left off. We will answer in the next episode.

The EPL has concluded, MLS is Back, the youth are shining, and pro/rel in the USA is a must. Lots of joking and the usual off topic rants included. The laziness has gone away (for now).

The Bundesliga is back and so are we!! Bundesliga recap, what return looked like, and how the boys and their clubs did. We end with a bit if SERGGGGG (by the way he CHOSE us). Never forget

Michelle and Tyler break down the fast few days from A. Robinson's update to U$$F's court filings on the WNT and of course the impact of the Coronavirus on the footy across the globe. It has been a crazy week and the major points are discussed, though certainly not all of the points! This week has been the craziest in a long time and there is no end in sight.

We cover Jan Camp and dream USMNT transfers with a bit of Serg. Who won and who lost at Jan camp? Where should our boys go? Listen and get our thoughts.

First Michelle reveals some interesting data on the age of our "young" senior USMNT. The meat of this episode is Michelle and Tyler's starting XI made up of characters from The Hangover, complete with captains and managers (and a mascot!). Michelle and Tyler also tell the story of how this episode came to be, as it was not an easy episode to "research." Finally a brief discussion on some of the news around the USMNT, from Camp Cupcake to the much anticipated return of the Bundesliga and the Bundesliga Boys.

Deep look into the player pool! Tyler and Michelle combine opinions to come up with the top 5-10 players by position, including the captaincy. Both identify their Top 40 USMNT players, taking very different approaches in the process. Tyler and Michelle end with a listener question and some comments on the now confirmed, U20 coaches for both the men and women. As always, feel free to ask whatever questions come into your mind!
