Taylor and Travis start off by analyzing the 25 names included on Jason Kreis' 25-player squad for the US U23 national team ahead of its upcoming friendly against El Salvador. Who's in, who's out, and who could still surprise in time for the Olympics? After that, T&T do their best to select the 21 players they think are most likely to end up making the Raphael Wicky's squad for the U17 World Cup later this month. Lots of names suggested but only a few can make the cut! 

Taylor and Travis discuss the U20s recent camp, as well as their on-field results. They then do their best to construct a possible roster, but really end up going into detail on the 26 names that are most likely to be competing for 21 spots. They then review the US U23's disappointing result against Egypt, the slightly more encouraging result against the Netherlands, and what obstacles Jason Kreis will face in preparing his team for Olympic qualifying this fall. Lastly, the guys take a look at USL League One, which kicks off this weekend. Which teams will be trying to win, which teams will be focused on development, and who are the names to track?

What a weekend lies in store for football fans in Vancouver. It's a club and country double header at BC Place, as Canada take on Mexico on Friday and Vancouver Whitecaps host Houston Dynamo on Saturday. And we have a jam packed podcast for you looking ahead to both matches. With so much to cover we've cut the chat and gone interview heavy. We hit the Canadian camp and chat with head coach Benito Floro about the Mexico game and what qualifying for the Hex and the World Cup would mean to soccer in Canada. We chat with newest Canadian recruit Scott Arfield about pledging his international future to #CanadaRed and talk to two veritable old hands now, Toronto FC midfielder Will Johnson and Orlando striker Cyle Larin. There's no Whitecaps players with the senior Canadian team this weekend, but they are losing four starters to international duty and we chat with two of them.Christian Bolaños looks back at Saturday's controversial Cascadian derby in Seattle and looks ahead to Costa Rica's two crunch World Cup qualifiers against Jamaica, while Tim Parker has his eyes firmly set on the qualifying for the Rio Olympics with the US U23 side. Those absences will weaken the Whitecaps considerably for this weekend's MLS match against the Dynamo, and it might mean the first MLS minutes for rookie centre back Cole Seiler. We talk to Cole about that prospect and find out how's he's settling in to Vancouver and what he's been learning about his game. There's a lot of chat to be had, so have a listen!
