#272: Meg Swanick on away qualifiers, binoculars, team chemistry

Meg Swanick, who writes for the Guardian US and covered every away World Cup qualifier played by the USMNT in this cycle, joins to be interviewed by Chris Russell (Watke) and take questions from listeners live on the air in the Scuffed Discord. Binoculars, whether Berhalter holds grudges, the bus ride to the Cuscatlan, the camaraderie of Weah and Yedlin, the best coffee in Concacaf, and many other things were discussed.
