9:30 — If FIFA were to switch all international tournaments to be co-ed (5/5 for field players, goalies change at half) where would you ranked the United States, and why? Which country rises the most, and which falls the furthest?
18:02 — What will happen to the Euro 2021 Women's Championship?
20:02 — Which professional team would be your ideal place to play if you were a professional footballer?
30:30 — On Soccer 101, Joe and Daryl recently reviewed the USMNT's 2009 win over Spain in the Confederation Cup. If you were to recreate the gameplan (defend and transition 4-2-2-2) with today's player pool, how would you line the US up?
41:03 — Is there a particular reason that the West Indies have a combined cricket team but do not field a combined side in other sports such as soccer? Would a combined West Indies team challenge for WC qualification?
51:57 — What are the pros and cons to having "B" teams play in a lower level of the soccer pyramid, like in Spain or the US, versus having them play in a completely separate league, like in England?
