Episode 10: Vamos Mexico (and Costa Rica)! Why we're rooting for Concacaf in the World Cup

With no USMNT to talk about in the World Cup, we're going to
follow about Mexico and Costa Rica, because a better Concacaf is
better for the U.S. in the long term. We explain ourselves and
talk about the Mexican player pool, their chances of getting to
the quarterfinals, and Costa Rica's chances of getting to the
quarterfinals. Then we run down the latest on McKennie, Pulisic,
Amon, Carleton, Llanez, Ledezma, Busio and others.
