Episode 80: U20 stock report, and the USMNT stumbles into the Gold Cup

Velasquez and Belz go through the U20 World Cup roster in detail and assess each player’s performance, their likelihood of breaking into the USMNT and the likely timing of that breakthrough, when applicable.

Then we talk about the 3-0 loss to Venezuela rumors (later confirmed) of Tyler Adams’ absence, and the general crappiness that prevails at the senior level ahead of Tuesday’s Gold Cup opener vs Guyana.
