🎙️New pod!

A draft episode! @awaygoals.bsky.social, Vince, @sanjaysujan.bsky.social and Belz each try to pick the best team from among all the players Pochettino has called up since he took over the USMNT. Full of intrigue and PR campaigns. scuffed.simplecast.com/episodes/657-a…

One of college coaches is on staff @ Indiana so it’s ho ho hosiers all the way….actually now that I type this out Will Stein played a huge role in my brother getting to where he did & he’s kentucky’s head coach so actually idk

I mean, the past month he has 3g 2a. His other two first division European szns (non Salzburg) he had 4 goal contributions total in each

Are we in the midst of a Brendo-ssance?

Not even in the academy

What odds you giving

A confident Brenden Aaronson in front of goal is something we’ve never seen

LMFAOOOO
