Ep. 102- What It Takes To Make An MLS Academy w/ LAFC's GK Dir. Neil Thompson + Nations League & USL Wrap Up

In today's episode ( check out the video on FB & You Tube!) we are joined by USYNT & LAFC GK Dir. Neil Thompson!

We find out what it takes to make an MLS Academy roster, why youth players shouldn't specialize too early, and why basketball is perfect cross-training for goalkeepers.

Then we breakdown Nation's League; including Brad Guzan's 72nd minute top hand save VS Canada ; & why Cuba's Sanchez should have started higher off his line in the 23rd minute VS US.

We finish the show w/ the USL Final ; including David Ochoa's fabulous redirect & Chris Hubbard's stop in the 44th.
