A wind-ranging, somewhat philosophical conversation with one the most knowledgeable and enjoyable writers in the US soccer-world press box. Charles is a freelance writer contributing to MLSSoccer.com and USSoccerPlayers.com, and a former Peace Corps volunteer living in Grenada.
Drawing on that knowledge- so perfectly aligned to the looming Nations League match that USMNT will play in Grenada- we discuss:
* C. Boehm’s career and entry into soccer writing in the USA
* The state of soccer writing in the USA
* An attempt to define this USMNT generation
* “They were not just spouting off motivational nonsense when they talked about winning the tournament” (brief reflections on the World Cup)
* The Nations League, the roster, the Anthony Hudson
* Life in Grenada, the Peace Corps, the wonders of Concacaf
* MLS!
…. episode begins with a pretty dramatic throat clear that I ultimately left in for character. You’ll have to let me know if you disagree
