The It’s Called Soccer Podcast

🚨New Pod Alert🚨 The latest episode of #YanksGoTalking has dropped! In this episode, @AmericanFif, @DeutscherYank, and @soccer_nerd_73 break down the #USMNT qualifying roster that is set to face Mexico on Friday. Available on all podcast platforms: open.spotify.com/episode/3rbL6F…

@soccer_nerd_73 and @GaudinEllie are having a huge day today. Any questions about the latest expansion of MLS to independent clubs? Fire away and our experts will have the answers!

Vlatko continues to make the worst in-game decisions possible. All of his subs except Williams, timing and player, have been off in this game. #USWNT going to penalties in a winnable game that got away from them.

How's everyone doing? I'm not nervous but I am hiding behind my couch and I got all my plushies because they're scared and I need to tell them that everything is OK

Vlatko has now used one sub through 90 minutes twice in the last 4 games. #USWNT has such a deep bench and we aren’t using it at all. Once again asking for Vlatko to make a change!

USWNT attacking-third touches in the first half... vs 🇳🇱: 77 vs 🇵🇹: 66 vs 🇸🇪: 103

Seems relevant for no particular reason

Generally we like to keep things pretty positive, but HOLY HELL. That was easily the worst #USWNT game we’ve ever watched. Vlatko needs to be gone yesterday.

Late night lineup for a crucial match! Effectively an elimination game to end the Group Stage for the #USWNT sees Rose Lavelle make her first start and Lynn Williams get her first minutes. Yet still no Alana Cook which continues to baffle all of us at It’s Called Soccer…

@soccer_nerd_73 and @GaudinEllie are going to have a new league to watch next season!

We have seen the #USWNT play better halves before. Need some changes at the break. Who comes into this game and why is it Rose Lavelle 🌹?

@Fathead826 Hope we don’t come to regret those two almost goals later in this tournament

@ItsCalledSocPod That confirms what I thought. It should have been 5-0, PK and Rose missing by millimeters

It’s an amazing sign of the incredibly high standard that the #USWNT sets when a performance like this is considered a let down at the World Cup. Sometimes variance is against you. Now we move forward to the Netherlands.

#USMNT Starting XI vs our Northern Neighbors tonight! Let’s cook, boys! #GoldCup defense continues today!

Congrats to Jesus Ferreira to become the 4th ever #USMNT player to score multiple hat tricks. He now has 11 goals all-time for the US, tied with Jordan Morris and Chris Wondolowski.

Landon Donovan scored 3 #USMNT hat tricks. The only other players to score two are Clint Dempsey and Jozy Altidore. Jesus Ferreira is one goal away from joining in some elite company in the record books.

Worth noting that the largest Margin of Victory in #USMNT history is an 8-0 win against Barbados. They have never scored more than 8 goals. This may become important later in the night…
