Christian Lee and Lodge Dils are joined by Arsenal superfan and USMNT casual Carter Spearry. Carter talks about his love for the game stemming from watching the 2010 World Cup, which led him to eventually calling Lodge’s soccer games in high school. We go over a brief history of the USMNT @ World Cups. With Carter being a Boston College grad and our main man Matt Turner playing for New England, we grill Carter on New England vocab in an entertaining segment. We gloss over the disaster of 2018 before diving into our main man. Carter deep dives into the career of USMNT goalkeeper Matt Turner, who he refers to as the most relatable man at the World Cup. Our discussion highlights the position battle that went on, namely the downfall of Zach Steffen.
