The final episode of the Crash Course. We will be doing USA game recaps, but school is out! Christian Lee, Lodge Dils and Max Heath are once again joined by casual fan Michael Sturm.

The boys about Yunus’ decision to pick the USA over his other options, the important role of dual nationals in this team, and Gregg Berhalter’s strength in recruiting.
