Summary: On this episode of the Yanks Abroad Podcast, host Christopher McCollum is joined by the full roster of Yanks Abroad panelists, in Brian Sciaretta, Mathew Wagner, John Kretlow and Jamie Hill, to talk about topics of interest in American soccer. For the first block of the show, the gang tackles recent events out of Europe, discussing Jozy Altidore's continued success in The Netherlands, Mix Diskerud's triumph in Norway, Clint Dempsey's glory in the Theatre of Dreams, and what on earth is going on with Andrew Wooten. For the last half hour of the show, special guest Travis Clark joined the panel to talk about U.S. U-20 news, college soccer, and up-and-coming talents on the horizon in the youth circuit. Special attention is paid to the Marbella Cup, and the subject of Jurgen Klinsmann's involvement in the U.S. Youth National Team program is brought up and discussed. The show concludes with a short wish list of potential surprise call ups for the senior National Team in the near future, and Clark and company make their cases for their picks.
