Jake, Tom, and our guest host Ryan break down the recent World Cup qualifying window for the USMNT. The US Soccer team lost a few good men before the first game even started, and a bit of reality tv drama ensured this was not a boring camp. The USMNT tied El Salvador away, tied Canada at home, and beat Honduras away to finish the first window with 5 points in 2nd place.
