## Resource

Austin & Amit welcome Henry Bushnell back to the show to preview the USMNT and Group D. The guys discuss whether this US team can meet the moment, and exceed the traditional bell curve result. Then, they tackle the dark arts of Gustavo Alfaro's Paraguay, an Australia side that feel out of place in Asia but right at home at the World Cup, and a Turkey team that make this one of the most wide-open groups of the tournament.
