## Resource

Mau Pedroza, Herc Gomez, and Janusz Michallik start this edition of Futbol Americas by previewing upcoming friendlies for the USA and Mexico. Are these teams ready for the tournament? Next, FIFA has banned reusable water bottles for all World Cup matches. Is this really a safety precaution or just another way for FIFA to gouge fans? The panel makes some World Cup predictions before looking back to the USMNT at the 1994 World Cup. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
