Episode 2: Optimism vs Realism for Andrew Carleton, MLS is back, and the March USMNT friendly roster

We lay out the cases for optimism (Belz) and realism (Velasquez)
on Andrew Carleton's future. We get into the MLS and CCL
excitement a bit. Greg wants Gregg Berhalter called up to the
USMNT. We talk at length about the March friendly roster.


Three sections:


1:30 -- Belz lays out the case for boundless Carleton
optimism, and Velasquez throws cold water all over Belz

15:20 -- rundown of opening weekend in MLS, and the young
Americans on display

30:05 -- who we don't want in the roster for the match
against Paraguay, and who we do want in the roster
