## Resource

The build-up to the Socceroos-USA clash has been dominated by a handful of American pundits and while it's been great to revel in the disrespect, there's more to this story. US football host Jillian Sakovits joins the show and explains the identity of this American team. We learn that some of the same voices who have been critical of Australia have also fallen out with Team USA. Jillian brings the reason and context to the lead-in.
