But what really grabs our attention is the special twist for the 100th anniversary of the World Cup; Argentina, Uruguay, and Paraguay will each host a singular game to give their respective national teams and fans a home game experience.

Kelly Cates presents Super Sunday from Goodison Park alongside Theo Walcott, Karen Carney and Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink, who watched Arsenal’s 1-0 win against Everton to maintain their unbeaten start to the season. Leandro Trossard secured the win for the Gunners with a sublime finish from a slick team move and Carney feels Arsenal are showing a maturity in their performances.

Patrons (link in the shownotes) can hear him speak for nearly another hour about this current crop of USMNT players, how to get more out of them than we've gotten, why he left USSF, sneaking into the Cuscatlan as a kid and whether he'd take a job with US Soccer in the future.
