Gary is joined by two college head coaches, Randy Waldrum (University of Pittsburgh) and Erwin van Bennekom (Indiana University) who have both experienced success at the national level of US college soccer and are currently in new roles where they are looking at building their respective programs towards similar heights. What is the first step in changing a culture? How long does it take to evaluate your players? How much do you risk in the recruitment process? How do you hire coaches? Is it possible to change a mentality of a team in the short-term who have not experienced success? All of this and more with these two coaches.

Summertime, and it's quiet for now around the indoor field, but there has been plenty of activity in the offseason. Not much for the Sockers, though. In the first of an occasional summer podcast regathering, Craig Elsten and Nate Abaurrea get together to discuss the MASL league meetings, the heavy activity of the Ontario Fury in the league's free agent window, and what to expect from the Sockers' summer. Plus, Nate recounts a month on the road covering the CONCACAF Gold Cup, the guys discuss San Diego's turnout for the USWNT World Cup Final, and Craig's visit to LAFC.

We’re back in your ears and though we were only gone for a short while, the football Gods (Newcastle United) have provided, in the squishy form of Steve Bruce. We react with a range of emotions while also casting an eye over Frank Lampard’s appointment at Stamford Bridge and looking at some of the more interesting transfers we’ve seen so far this summer. There’s also the usual stuff like Mark McGhee’s Bitcoin side hustle, Pascal Chimbonda’s summer adventures and Pete’s sumo wrestling related travel adventures.

First, Greg gives his 5 biggest needs for the USMNT roster, and Belz lists his preferred changes ahead of the fall international calendar. Then we hustle through the European player pool, talk about each guy's club status, and look briefly toward the season ahead.

While some of our favorite teams continue to struggle, the LAFC juggernaut continues to roll (mostly over us) and San Jose, New England, and Cincinnati (?!) all begin to find their form. We also discuss what, if anything, changes now that the Women's World Cup is over.

A long episode breaking down the loss to Mexico, the opening flurry from the US, the gradual annexation of the game by Mexico, and that 20-minute period of utter helplessness in the second half culminating in the match-winning goal for El Tri. We try to discuss what this game and the overall performance in the Gold Cup all mean for the USMNT and the player pool in the fall and beyond.

The USWNT win the World Cup and we are glued to Ashlyn Harris' Instagram stories. There is seriously no better television right now. The victory parade begins now and it will be skipping right by 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. We also recap the Gold Cup Final between USA and Mexico. We also talk about the best matches this week in MLS.

The USA faced a composed, savvy Curaçao side in the quarterfinals of the Gold Cup. We take a look at the game while airplanes fly overhead and children shout in the background. It’s a busy week at Scuffed HQ. Apologies.

This week we talk about Megan Rapinoe and the USWNT continued dominance, people's discomfort with politics in sports, heartbreak for the Canadians and then a week of MLS matches that really didn't tell us too much about any team except that the Whitecaps still really like to make life hard for Rooney still really doesn't like Orlando.

The USWNT absolutely demolished Thailand in their opening match of the World Cup. People had questioned the strength of this USA squad, and hopefully they were silenced.
