Greg lays out his best rationale for the roster decisions that had us scratching our heads last week. I nod along. We try to predict Berhalter's starting XI vs Ecuador (we recorded before it was reported that Adams will play right back, but generally anticipated it). Then we go over the U20 roster with an eye to the World Cup in May.
