## Resource

Cristina Alexander, Herc Gomez, and Shaka Hislop start this edition of Futbol Americas by posing a few questions now that we are 50 days away from the beginning of the World Cup. Are the host nations ready? Tyler Adams speaks on why the USMNT struggles against European opposition. Is playing against CONCACAF opposition really that different? We take a look at a special Bicycle Diaries episode with Obed Vargas as well. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
