#339: What we can do to beat Wales

Scuffed | USMNT, World Cup, Yanks Abroad, futbol in... ·

2022/11/16

Greg and Belz watch a bunch of Wales footage and report back. Gareth Bale is still very dangerous (once in a while), we're likely up against a 5-4-1 defensive block, and they'll hit fast in transition. Tyler Adams needs a good game, we need somebody to get on the ball between the lines and cook (Reyna, maybe Sarge or Ferreira or Aaronson), and we need quick runners off the ball to break Wales down.----Scuffed is an ad-free podcast.

2022/11/02

This is the fifth installment in our historical recap series, which is mostly just for patrons, and in this one we look back at a match against an opponent we face later this month in Qatar. In 2010, we got a draw! But our heroes weren't actually heroes (according to Greg), average players can do a job at the World Cup, and Jamie Carragher is still embarrassed after that Jozy Altidore run. Also the mysteries of the Jabulani, Robert Green's unbelievable error, a lovely stab from Steven Gerrard, a
