Episode 72: Deep dive on our U20 World Cup group opponents — Ukraine, Nigeria & Qatar

Opposition research! This week we hear from journalists on three
continents about the nations the U.S. U20s will face in the group
stage in Poland. Vadim Furmanov, a Ukrainian-American living in
North Carolina, spoke with me about Ukraine. Emmanuel Chinaza, a
reporter in Lagos, spoke with me about Nigeria. And Babagol
founder Uri Levy spoke with me from Tel Aviv about the Qatari
U20s. I should mention up front that the audio from my
conversation with Emmanuel is spotty in sections. I did my best
to smooth it over and encourage you to stick with us, but as
always, please use the show notes for navigation if you want to
skip around.
