Prior to the USA's 7-0 destruction of Cuba (and very much prior to their destruction at the hands of Canada), TSS and The Cooligans sat down in a Washington DC hotel conference room to answer your Twitter questions. Surrounded by strange political caricatures from the mid-1990s, they answer questions like: 1) Which host from the other show would you most want to be stranded on a desert island with? 2) What happens in the Gulliest Derby? 3) Is Carlos Vela one of the 20 best players in the world or is Alexi Lalas just trolling us all once again? And much much more! HOW TO LISTEN TO PART TWO: Subscribe to the Cooligans podcast and part two will publish on Thursday, October 17. SPONSORS! Today's episode is brought to you by... Enclosed!

Daryl and Taylor go in-depth to review the USA's disappointing/frustrating/infuriating/depressing 2-0 loss to Canada. Why would you play 2 central midfielders against 4? Why would you substitute Pulisic with the scored tied and 30 minutes to go? Was DeAndre Yedlin aware this was a game and not a pre-match scrimmage? All that, plus constructive plans for changes we want to see going forward. Sponsors! Today's show is brought to you by... Dollar Shave Club!

We start by discussing the end of Jill Ellis' reign as USWNT coach, and the search for her replacement. Then we answer 9 (NINE!) listener questions: —Why is US Soccer using soccer-specific stadiums instead of NFL stadiums for CONCACAF Nations League games? —How are we definably better after one almost full year under the Berhalter tenure? —Would Klinsmann have been a better Technical Director / General Manager than a coach? —Does Bob Bradley's dominance of MLS after his perceived failure in the Premier League tarnish how the English / Europeans view the strength of MLS? —For 6 and 9-year-olds, starting to really enjoy soccer, what skills or knowledge are most important to emphasize? —Why don’t players who start on the bench have their uniform on already? RB Salzburg vs Liverpool. Good tactics by Marsch or an off night by Liverpool? —What is a "striker's finish?" —Who plays the most Champions League minutes this campaign as a cap-tied American?
