#567: State of the U17 player pool with Hartman and Chairez

Marcus Chairez and Matt Hartman join Belz to discuss the U17s. We
start with the roster for U17 World Cup qualifying, but really
the conversation is much more expansive than that. Who's the best
XI in this age group? How does it stack up with past classes? How
is MLS doing at running elite youth development in America since
US Soccer abdicated responsibility? How good are Cavan Sullivan
and Mathis Albert, really? Those questions and many more
discussed at length.


Check out Marcus's work at the U.S. Soccer Collective, which has
become an indispensable source on soccer prospects from the USA.
