Who played, who played well, and who has a future with the USMNT? Freed from the constraints of things like “producers” and “brevity” and  “Andrew Wiebe,” MLSsoccer.com analyst Matt Doyle joins the pod to go long on the young American player pool in the domestic league. We look back at 2019 and look ahead to 2020.

(Yo! We forgot to mention Gianluca Busio! Major omission. Interesting young player at Sporting KC. My mistake for not having him on the list. I’d put him in the “who knows” category, for what it’s worth.)
