Americans in Action: predicting the USMNT's upcoming June roster and then debating those predictions May 17, 2022

Show notes

It's roster prediction time! The USMNT has 4 games coming up in June (2 friendlies and 2 Nations League), but who will make the roster for that camp? Taylor is joined by Graham and Joe to give their nominations for an expanded roster of 28 players (3 goalkeepers, 10 defenders, 6 midfielders, and 9 attackers). We then fight to the death (aka calmly discuss differences) before deciding who will be in the TSS roster and who will be on the outside, presumably much to Twitter's chagrin.
