25W: Bobby’s Plan to Fix Soccer + Taylor Twellman on Resting the USMNT Starters + Eddie Gets Insulted Shopping for a Golf Bag
6/22/202653 min
Bobby lays out his plan to fix soccer, including the new kick clock he believes would cut down on time-wasting and keep the game moving. Former USMNT star Taylor Twellman joins the show to discuss whether the U.S. should rest its starters in the final group-stage match, what he has seen from the team through two wins, and what needs to improve before the knockout rounds. Plus, Eddie goes shopping for a new golf bag and ends up taking one employee’s question as a personal insult.
