Episode 70: The U.S. U20 World Cup Roster (with or without Sargent & Weah)

The U20 World Cup begins May 23 and the U.S. roster will drop in just over a week. Matt Hartman (@mattshartman) joins to chat about that roster — who we’d like to see on it, who’ll miss out, and why. You don’t want to miss Hartman’s 5 principles of a Tab-selected U20 World Cup squad. We then (pretty much) settle on a roster and an XI for the tournament.

• 0:30 Intro and Hartman’s 5 Principles of U20 World Cup roster selection
• 5:25 goalkeepers
• 12:00 defenders
• 30:00 midfielders
• 45:00 forwards
• 55:50 What if Weah and Sargent are on the roster? Who gets cut?
