No spoilers in the title!Joe and Taylor have a good old time breaking down the USA's EMPHATIC (I don't care what Joe says, it was emphatic) 3-0 friendly win over Morocco.

That might not make sense in written form, but I'm pretty sure it made more sense when discussed out loud for an hour plus. We also break down individual performances, discuss areas for improvement, and sing the praises of Tyler Adams for a long time... but probably still not enough time.Sponsors!
