Episode 67: Chris Gloster on his year in Germany, the U20 World Cup & racism rearing its head in soccer

Chris Gloster, the left back for the Hannover U23s and the U.S. U20s, joins the pod to talk about his 2018 move to Germany, the transition to life there and his development as a player. He discussed in detail the outrageous racist abuse he suffered in an away match at VfB Lübeck on Wednesday and his reactions to it. At the end of the interview, he looked ahead to the U20 World Cup in Poland, which starts in late May, and talked about the vibe on a squad where many positions are still up for grabs.
