Scuffed | U.S. soccer, World Cup, Yanks Abroad, futbol in America Adam Belz and Greg Velasquez

Greg is back in the booth after a little hiatus and we talk Nations League, Flo Balogun, Messi to Miami, potential starting XIs vs Mexico, and a bit of a changing of the guard for them ahead of what will likely be a high-intensity showdown in Las Vegas.

A South American opponent in the quarterfinals does us in again. Mikey Varas's team played good soccer down in Argentina, but defensive lapses cost us on Sunday, and we lacked the cutting edge to overcome those. Matt Hartman joins to recap the game.

Belz, Vince and Tara talk through the implications of Cat's absence a bit, shouts for Savannah Demelo and Carson Pickett, U20 Concacaf Championship check-in, a couple necessary corrections to the last episode, and much more.

Another victory in Argentina. Marcus Chairez joins Belz to talk through it. Next up is the quarterfinals.

Another group stage match at the U20 World Cup, another win for the U.S. and another impressive performance. Special guest Paul Douglas, a podcaster himself and a Scuffed patron and Discord server member, joins to recap the action from Argentina.

Wanted to get somebody from St. Louis to join to talk about the new MLS team, the response from the city, and the history of soccer there. Got Ty Keough, a former national team player, coach and broadcaster whose dad was one of the five St. Louis natives on the U.S. team that beat England at the 1950 World Cup. Covered a lot of ground, including Ty's family's trip to Guadalajara to see the 1970 World Cup.
