#617: Doug McIntyre, USMNT reporter for Fox Sports, joins the pod

Doug, Belz and Vince talk about Poch's summer of (resetting) the vibes, when the wave of enthusiasm about the World Cup will hit (soon), where Johnny Cardoso stands, whether Sebastian Berhalter really has a better chance of making the WC roster than Gio Reyna, Doug's early years as a soccer reporter, what several other players have to do to make the World Cup squad, and much more. Then we run through the weekend news faster than we ever have on the Monday Review, including Dest's belter and Aidan Morris's imperious showing vs Swansea.In a couple weeks we (Belz and at least a couple of the grassroots episodes guests) are going to record a 4th grassroots soccer episode where we respond to questions and comments.
