TSS x Scuffed Crossover Part II: Answering your questions, featuring Weston McKennie thriving in goal, tactical progress under Berhalter, Mexico’s style of play, and much more
Total Soccer Show: USMNT, Champions League, EPL, and more ...
It’s another TSS x Scuffed crossover! You can find the first part of the crossover in the Scuffed feed - and here’s part two. On this episode, Adam Belz and Greg Velasquez join Taylor and Joe to answer your USMNT questions, discussing heartburn-inducing qualifiers, our favorite USMNT content, Weston McKennie’s goalkeeping ability, and much more. You can find the full list of questions down below:
1) Who is a player that we feel is ready for a new challenge at the club level? And on the flip side, who is a player that we think could benefit from going down a level?
2) What are your power rankings for top three U.S. field players to play in goal if all goalkeepers suddenly ceased to exist?
3) What is the U.S.’s plan B/C at the 6? And what are the other most daunting drops from the best XI to the backups?
4) Other than each other's podcasts, what are some of our favorite pieces of USMNT content out there?
5) If we could hire one soccer pundit/writer/analyst/pontificator for Gregg Berhalter's staff, who would it be and why?
6) What are Mexico's goals when they have the ball and which of their players do they try to accomplish them with?
7) When GGG was first appointed, he said he wanted to create pressure through possession. To what degree has the team achieved this goal? And has the USMNT improved tactically since the Gold Cup Final win over Mexico?
8) Excluding playing Mexico at the Azteca, which upcoming USMNT World Cup Qualifier gives us the most heartburn?
