## Resource

Vince and Belz are joined by Andrew Jones, the New York-based sports reporter who writes for several outlets and covers the USMNT (and USWNT) faithfully, often providing the best moments in press conferences with his questions. We talk about the cultural impact of the World Cup, the songs, his approach to asking players questions, how people are feeling about the USMNT, things like that.
