Scuffed

Jon Arnold, one of the nation's leading Concacaf scholars, joins the pod to talk about the USA's group at the Copa America: Bolivia, Panama and Uruguay. As is our custom we strayed from the agenda and discussed the Columbus Crew's loss to Pachuca in Champions Cup, why Mexico isn't a global power in soccer. But the core of the episode is backgrounders on the USMNT's group opponents in this upcoming tournament. No huge surprises but you will surely be able to impress at cocktail parties with a little more depth on Bolivia's mediocrity and Panama's relative strength under Christensen.———Sign up for Jon's newsletter, Getting CONCACAFed, which covers “the good, the bad, and the weird and wild of soccer in the Concacaf region,” here: https://getconcacafed.substack.com/———Subscribe to Scuffed on Patreon!
