Segment 1: Expansion Draft & Isimat-Mirin Rumor Segment 2: (20:57) Corrupt FIFA & World Cup Roster When looking at this upcoming World Cup abstractly, the possibilities seemed endless. The talent pool is massive, young, and hungry. But now that Gregg Berhalter has announced the 26-man USMNT World Cup Roster, it's a reality check. This is it. These are the guys who are tasked with leading us into the desert to find glory. Speaking of the desert, this is your regularly schedule reminder: FIFA is corrupt, Qatar shouldn't be hosting, and the world should dissent against all of this. FIFA is so blatant about their corruption, it seems there is no stopping it. All we can do is find our own ways to push back individually. Any time the World Cup is discussed here at The Blue Testament, you will be thoroughly reminded of the ugly side of our sport. Anyway, there's no point in complaining about the roster decisions (though we do plenty of that). Jordan Pefok is a notable absence, but Ricardo Pepi's omission is particularly interesting after convincing him to choose US over Mexico. Is he the future of the striker position for the US? St. Louis City SC Expansion Draft is done and no Sporting KC players were taken. But they did get a player with KC roots. Our show is split between STL and KC natives, but this new team is already annoying everyone. There's an article from 90Min about Nicolas Isimat-Mirin and interest from ‘leading' MLS clubs. But we're suspicious for several reasons. If there's any truth to the article, it would indicate SKC is looking to turn down the option for the 30-year-old centerback, but sign him for less money.

Jaylen Brown had 30 points and seven rebounds. Sam Hauser added a career-high 24 points off the bench for Boston, which hasn’t scored fewer than 109 points in each of its wins this season. After scoring just five points during a quiet first half, Tatum had 16 points in the first five minutes in the third quarter to help the Celtics take control. Jaden Ivey had 19 points and 10 rebounds for the Pistons, who have lost four of five. Saddiq Bey added 18 points and Bojan Bogdanovic finished with 17.

Nuggets 122, Pacers 119 – Jokic overcomes foul trouble, Nuggets rally past Pacers Nikola Jokic scored 24 points in 21 minutes to help the Denver Nuggets overcome an 18-point deficit and rally past the Indiana Pacers 122-119. Jokic was in foul trouble most of the night. But when the Nuggets needed him most, the two-time NBA MVP pulled them through. Denver has won four straight and six of seven. Aaron Gordon had 18 points and tied a career best with 17 rebounds. Indiana led most of the second half but struggled to stop Jokic and Denver’s 3-point shooters late.

Jonas Valanciunas picked up the slack for the first three quarters with 21 points.

Treyson Bourguet ran for a 16-yard touchdown for Western Michigan (3-7, 2-4) in the first quarter, Sean Tyler added a 3-yard TD run that made it 14-10 just before halftime and Bourguet threw a 26-yard touchdown pass to Anthony Sambucci that gave Western a 21-17 lead going into the 4th quarter. CMU 31, Buffalo 27 – Central Michigan rallies, 31-27, behind freshman QB’s 3 TDs Freshman quarterback Bert Emanuel Jr. rushed for 293 yards and the first three touchdowns of his career as Central Michigan rallied from a 17-point deficit to beat Buffalo 31-27 on Wednesday night. Emanuel, who saw his first game action the week before as part of a three-quarterback rotation, ran for a 75-yard touchdown on the Chippewas’ first play from scrimmage in the the second half and tied the game at 24-all late in third quarter on an 87-yard run. On that run, he was pulled down on top of another Bulls defender, regained his footing before spinning away and taking off for the end zone. His 1-yard score midway through the fourth quarter gave Central Michigan the lead. NHL – National Hockey League Tonight New York Rangers at Detroit Red Wings, 7:00 p.m. Chicago Blackhawks at Los Angeles Kings, 10:30 p.m. NFL – National Football League – Week 10 Tonight Atlanta Falcons at Carolina Panthers, 8:15 p.m. NFL – LA Rams QB Matthew Stafford in concussion protocol Los Angeles Rams quarterback Matthew Stafford is in the concussion protocol, coach Sean McVay says. The Super Bowl-winning quarterback entered the protocol Tuesday afternoon after consulting with the Rams’ medical staff, the team confirmed Wednesday. The Rams believe Stafford’s symptoms resulted from action in last Sunday’s 16-13 loss at Tampa Bay, but they haven’t identified a specific hit. McVay said the Rams haven’t determined whether Stafford can play Sunday against the Arizona Cardinals. John Wolford, a Rams backup since 2019, is likely to start if Stafford can’t go. Stafford has been one of the NFL’s most durable QB’s for the past 12 seasons.

Tonight Purdue-Fort Wayne at Michigan State, 7:00 p.m. WNBA – Biden hopes Putin will negotiate WNBA star Griner’s release President Joe Biden says he hopes Russian President Vladimir Putin will be more willing to negotiate the release of WNBA star Brittney Griner now that the U.S. midterm elections are over. He spoke Wednesday afternoon, hours after Griner’s lawyers revealed that she had been sent to a penal colony to serve her sentence for drug possession. U.S. officials have for months tried to negotiate the release of Griner and another American jailed in Russia, Paul Whelan. But there have been no overt signs of progress. WNBA – WNBA to allow coaches challenge next season The WNBA will allow coaches to challenge one play a game next season, and the league is also heightening the penalty for transition take fouls, according to a person familiar with the decision. The person spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity Wednesday night because no official announcement has been made. Both rules, which will go into effect next season, are already used in the NBA. MLB – Orioles claim OF Daz Cameron off waivers from Tigers The Baltimore Orioles have claimed outfielder Daz Cameron off waivers from the Detroit Tigers. Cameron hit .219 with a homer and eight RBIs in 21 games with Detroit last season. He also appeared in 98 games with Triple-A Toledo, batting .240 with 10 homers and 50 RBIs. The waiver claim gives Baltimore 34 players on its 40-man roster. The Orioles also turned down their $11 million option on right-hander Jordan Lyles, who gets a $1 million buyout. MLB – Pollock declines $13M option with White Sox, goes free Outfielder AJ Pollock declined his $13 million player option with the Chicago White Sox and was among 10 players who became free agents, raising the total to 161. In the final season of what turned out to be a $50 million, four-year contract, the 34-year-old hit .245 with 14 homers and 56 RBIs. World Series champion Houston declined a $10 million option on first baseman Trey Mancini in favor of a $250,000 buyout and declined a $13 million option on reliever Will Smith in favor of a $1 million buyout. FIFA – World Cup – Pepi, Steffen left off US World Cup roster, Ream, Wright on The U.S. World Cup roster had some surprises: Ricardo Pepi was left off along with Zack Steffen, Paul Arriola and Jordan Pefok. U.S. coach Gregg Berhalter picked 35-year-old defender Tim Ream, who hasn’t played with the team since September 2021 Also selected were Haji Wright, Joe Scally, Cameron Carter-Vickers and Sean Johnson, who all failed to get into a single one of the qualifiers. DeAndre Yedlin, a 29-year-old defender, is the only player left from the 2014 World Cup roster. The U.S. opens the World Cup against Wales on Nov. 21, then plays England and Iran. Golf – Tiger Woods to return at his tournament in the Bahamas Tiger Woods is returning to competition next month in the Bahamas. He announced his decision on Twitter and it was not a big surprise. Woods is tournament host of the Hero World Challenge. He’ll be part of a 20-man field that features 18 of the top 21 players in the current world ranking. Woods says other sponsor exemptions are going to Tommy Fleetwood and Kevin Kisner. Woods hasn’t played since missing the cut in the British Open at St. Andrews in July. He played only two other tournaments this year. Both were majors. He made the cut in the Masters and PGA Championship. Golf – Champions – Langer still going strong on PGA Tour Champions at 65 Bernhard Langer feels the reminders from 50 years of professional golf every day. Some days it could be a sore wrist. Others a twinge in the elbow or a shoulder ache. None of it has slowed him down. The 65-year-old arrives at Phoenix Country Club this weekend with a chance to tie Hale Irwin’s all-time PGA Tour Champions wins mark of 45. Langer won his 44th PGA Tour Champions event last week in Florida after beating his age by two shots in the second round. This week’s Charles Schwab Cup Championship will be the final event of the PGA Tour Champions season. Only Steven Alker and Padraig Harrington have a chance to win the season-long championship.

The Super Bowl-winning quarterback entered the protocol Tuesday afternoon after consulting with the Rams’ medical staff, the team confirmed Wednesday. The Rams believe Stafford’s symptoms resulted from action in last Sunday’s 16-13 loss at Tampa Bay, but they haven’t identified a specific hit. McVay said the Rams haven’t determined whether Stafford can play Sunday against the Arizona Cardinals. John Wolford, a Rams backup since 2019, is likely to start if Stafford can’t go. Stafford has been one of the NFL’s most durable QB’s for the past 12 seasons.

He spoke Wednesday afternoon, hours after Griner’s lawyers revealed that she had been sent to a penal colony to serve her sentence for drug possession. U.S. officials have for months tried to negotiate the release of Griner and another American jailed in Russia, Paul Whelan. But there have been no overt signs of progress. WNBA – WNBA to allow coaches challenge next season The WNBA will allow coaches to challenge one play a game next season, and the league is also heightening the penalty for transition take fouls, according to a person familiar with the decision. The person spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity Wednesday night because no official announcement has been made. Both rules, which will go into effect next season, are already used in the NBA. MLB – Orioles claim OF Daz Cameron off waivers from Tigers The Baltimore Orioles have claimed outfielder Daz Cameron off waivers from the Detroit Tigers. Cameron hit .219 with a homer and eight RBIs in 21 games with Detroit last season. He also appeared in 98 games with Triple-A Toledo, batting .240 with 10 homers and 50 RBIs. The waiver claim gives Baltimore 34 players on its 40-man roster. The Orioles also turned down their $11 million option on right-hander Jordan Lyles, who gets a $1 million buyout. MLB – Pollock declines $13M option with White Sox, goes free Outfielder AJ Pollock declined his $13 million player option with the Chicago White Sox and was among 10 players who became free agents, raising the total to 161. In the final season of what turned out to be a $50 million, four-year contract, the 34-year-old hit .245 with 14 homers and 56 RBIs. World Series champion Houston declined a $10 million option on first baseman Trey Mancini in favor of a $250,000 buyout and declined a $13 million option on reliever Will Smith in favor of a $1 million buyout. FIFA – World Cup – Pepi, Steffen left off US World Cup roster, Ream, Wright on The U.S. World Cup roster had some surprises: Ricardo Pepi was left off along with Zack Steffen, Paul Arriola and Jordan Pefok. U.S. coach Gregg Berhalter picked 35-year-old defender Tim Ream, who hasn’t played with the team since September 2021 Also selected were Haji Wright, Joe Scally, Cameron Carter-Vickers and Sean Johnson, who all failed to get into a single one of the qualifiers. DeAndre Yedlin, a 29-year-old defender, is the only player left from the 2014 World Cup roster. The U.S. opens the World Cup against Wales on Nov. 21, then plays England and Iran. Golf – Tiger Woods to return at his tournament in the Bahamas Tiger Woods is returning to competition next month in the Bahamas. He announced his decision on Twitter and it was not a big surprise. Woods is tournament host of the Hero World Challenge. He’ll be part of a 20-man field that features 18 of the top 21 players in the current world ranking. Woods says other sponsor exemptions are going to Tommy Fleetwood and Kevin Kisner. Woods hasn’t played since missing the cut in the British Open at St. Andrews in July. He played only two other tournaments this year. Both were majors. He made the cut in the Masters and PGA Championship. Golf – Champions – Langer still going strong on PGA Tour Champions at 65 Bernhard Langer feels the reminders from 50 years of professional golf every day. Some days it could be a sore wrist. Others a twinge in the elbow or a shoulder ache. None of it has slowed him down. The 65-year-old arrives at Phoenix Country Club this weekend with a chance to tie Hale Irwin’s all-time PGA Tour Champions wins mark of 45. Langer won his 44th PGA Tour Champions event last week in Florida after beating his age by two shots in the second round. This week’s Charles Schwab Cup Championship will be the final event of the PGA Tour Champions season. Only Steven Alker and Padraig Harrington have a chance to win the season-long championship.

With only 3 matches to go in WCQ in March, do we go for glory at the Azteca against Mexico or play for the draw? Ricardo Pepi and Gyasi Zardes left much to be desired this window while Jordan Pefok continues to roll in Switzerland - is it time to call the in-form striker into the next camp? Finally Jared plays a game of “Of Death & Debutants” with the whole crew.  Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/thebestsoccershow  Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/bestiessoccer Instagram: https://instagram.com/thebestsoccershow Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/thebestsocce...

On this week's The Best Soccer Show, Jason Davis and Jared DuBois make their roster predictions for the USMNT and their upcoming World Cup Qualifiers against El Salvador, Canada & Honduras. With MLS on break and some recent moves for USMNT regulars, it's anyone's guess who and how many players get called in. Aaron Long has looked sharp in the January camp, could he push for a CB spot already? Will Luca de la Torre get the call up to replace Yunus Musah this window? Is Gio Reyna finally set to make his return? Finally, is Jordan Pefok finally going to get the call in or will Dike make the trip back to the US after just moving to West Brom?

The USMNT roster is here for World Cup qualifying, and it's time to react to it on Episode 62. The roster was released this morning, and we go through it to highlight who Gregg Berhalter called in and who was not included. There were several players who were included on this roster that did not make it in the September window: Paul Arriola, Tim Weah, Gyasi Zardes, Luca de la Torre, Matthew Hoppe, Shaq Moore, Yunus Musah, Chris Richards, and Gianluca Busio. While Gio Reyna and Christian Pulisic were not included due to injury, Jordan Pefok, Josh Sargent, Ethan Horvath, and Konrad de la Fuente were also left off the roster. There are also others who were not on either roster that fans may think should have been brought into camp. We discuss it all briefly on this episode. We close out this episode with a personal tribute to Martin Huschka, an inspirational young boy in the American soccer family who passed away late last week due to complications from a neurodegenerative disorder that was so rare, there have been only 14 cases worldwide. I tell the story of Martin's journey, what he meant to me and why he is the strongest boy that I've ever met. Martin is going to be missed by so many, but the joy that he shared is something that will remain in the hearts of all who were blessed to meet him or be inspired through his story. If you are so inclined to also pay tribute to Martin's memory, his family requests that you make a donation to Gilda's Club of Metro Detroit, Angela Hospice, or Rainbow Connection.

The 2021/22 Champions League group stage started out with a bang! Luis Miguel Echegaray, Jimmy Conrad and James Benge react to a thrilling opening night of action that saw Cristiano Ronaldo's record-equalling appearance get overshadowed by US international Jordan Pefok, Sevilla earn a point despite conceding three penalties, and Bayern Munich continue their tradition of owning the Camp Nou. The panel also mulls over what having more USMNT players in Europe's most prestigious club competition might mean for the likes of Weston McKennie and Christian Pulisic, and asks who, if not Ronald Koeman, is the right manager to save Barcelona from itself.
