In this episode of the Designated Player's Podcast, the holidays have come early, and big Greg has gifted us another exciting and young USMNT roster for the upcoming December camp! We break it down and tell you who we're excited to see and how we believe the team will line-up for the upcoming friendly. We also make sure to talk about the recent roster moves that a few of the teams in MLS has made. Finally we finish off with quick fire predictions as to who will win the remaining games in the conference semi-finals!
If the USMNT roster is like a song, then this call-up is basically the MLS remix of the last song. What does that confusing analogy mean? It means we've got more young stars in this camp, but this time they come from MLS as opposed to coming from European teams. Lots of first time players, a few young players with a cap or two, and a few "veterans" who have a handful of caps. We break down all the positions and take our best guess as to what formation we'll play based on the players that were called up.
Next we discuss the recent roster changes that were announced for a handful of teams. These roster changes included decisions on whether or not to extend player contracts another year, and included contracts that were expiring at the end of this year. Take a listen to see if there were any big moves made for this upcoming offseason.
Finally, before we can rap the show up, we make our picks for the upcoming (although maybe already finished) semi-final games in the western conference!
