Listener Questions! Why isn’t Sergiño Dest a winger? Plus, countries that are coaching powerhouses, assembling a USMNT club team, and much more Sep 27, 2023

Show notes

The presenting sponsor for this week's Total Soccer Show episodes is Lectric eBikes, makers of the #1 selling eBikes in America!

It's listener question time! Taylor, Ryan, and Joe dive into your questions, which you can find down below:

1) If the USMNT’s top players all joined up at club level with Berhatler as their manager, how much would it improve the USMNT’s World Cup hopes?

2) If Sergiño Dest is a defensive liability but an attacking outlet, why is he a fullback and not a winger?

3) Are there any countries that are surprising soccer powerhouses because of the coaches they produce?

4) Will we ever see another Jorge Campos keeper/striker combo?

5) Will the new UCL format help some of the smaller teams?

6) Are the youth academies in the U.S. that are branded as satellite academies for big European clubs actually identifying and developing talent?
