Summary: In this episode of the Yanks Abroad Podcast, host Christopher McCollum is joined by usual suspects Brian Sciaretta, Jamie Hill and Mathew Wagner to discuss the past week of Yanks Abroad news. The show starts off with a rundown of scores from Europe and Mexico, with specific attention being paid to Jozy Altidore's hat trick performance over the weekend for AZ Alkmaar, as well as a look at Sacha Kljestan's UEFA Champions League game against AC Milan. The topic of conversation veers to Denmark where Brian and Jamie discuss Iceland U-21 star and Danish SuperLiga leading scorer Aron Johannson, who recently told Brian that it would be hard to turn down an offer to play for the U.S. National Team if Jurgen Klinsmann came calling. The Alabama-born striker may be finding himself caught in a race between Iceland and the United States to cap tie him over the next year. Afterwards, the immediate future of the U.S. National Team roster is discussed, with a look at Jose Torres and Maurice Edu, and whether or not their recent struggles are playing them out of contention for spots on the team. The episode is wrapped up with a Rapid Fire question and answer segment where the panel took a range of questions from Central Defense depth to future U-20 stars.
