The Bonfire | It Came Home | S4:E32

from MenInRed97 · host MenInRed97 Media

If it feels like it's been a while, well, it has. Friend of the pod Joe Chatz makes it worth the wait, however, as he joins John and Tim to talk about all that's happened since last time, starting with Hugo Cuypers and Mbekezeli Mbokazi's first XI All-Star nods.After that, they switch focus to USMNT's friendly against Germany and find things to like even though the game ended in a 2-1 defeat — starting with the fun atmosphere that temporarily made Chicago the center of the country's soccer attention.Then the trio moves on from the game that was to the games to be played, with the World Cup finally upon us. There's a lot of Fire connections to be made with a record three active players going from Chicago to the world's biggest stage, and the trio break down what to expect from the Bafana Bafana, Canada and the USMNT in their tournaments — and talk about the rise of Fire homegrown Brian Gutiérrez and Mexico, starting with the tournament's opening match that pits Guti against Mbokazi.
