    Bernd Leno: Being a top Premier League keeper, German national team, are all GKs mad?

    Tim Ream and Steve Schlanger are joined by Fulham's number one (although technically he wears number 17) Bernd Leno!

    USMNT reflections, Fulham motivations, Thanksgiving traditions

    On this episode of The American Dream with Steve Schlanger and Tim Ream, Tim reflects on an eventful USMNT camp, which saw his 10-man side lose to Trinidad and Tobago in their final game. Tim looks back at the year with the national team and gives his verdict on how he will remember this spell.

The team then end by chatting about some of Tim's family Thanksgiving traditions from the UK.
