#217: State of the men's youth national teams and upcoming U20 camp Nov 05, 2021

Show notes

Matt Hartman (@MattsHartman) joined to tick through the U20 player pool in detail, lay out the bumpy (at best) transition from the DA to MLS Next, gets enraged at me for suggesting Cade Cowell could be a right back, goes in hard on the 2004 birth year, and tells me he cringed at my answer to the golden generation vs permanent wave of talent debate. Dude absolutely knows his stuff.

0:30 intro and general "how good is the next wave of players" discussion
9:20 the casualties from the abrupt end of the Development Academy
14:30 how we know the 2004 birth year is a weak one for elite men's soccer talent
18:45 the Golden generation vs permanent wave of talent debate (must-listen)
22:25 we still got no U20 coach
26:00 a review of the leaked U20 roster and the player pool beyond the call-ups

A highly-focused investigation of several a baker's dozen soccer-adjacent topics, including a philosophy of songs and chants, the paucity of USMNT nicknames, a rough power ranking of chess ability among USMNT players, and what sort of crime could get Berhalter fired. New Pepi song at the end.
