What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

Good analysis and the hosts all have great chemistry. I like the deep cuts and takes they have that are way ahead other pods on US soccer mgmt and player pool. I appreciate analysis that isnt rooted in hot takes and trying to be “first” that wankers like Lalas and Gomez relish. Bone dry humor and the bants are stellar, too. Also, the Bob Bradley episode in Aug ‘26 was truly excellent. It was two hours and I could have listened to it much much longer.

Machmed · Aug 2026

The most objective, nuanced, and thorough analysis of the USMNT available. Their work on grassroots and youth development is commendable and provides concrete ways to push the game forward in your community.

CPinMT · Oct 2025

Easily the best show for following and understanding the emotional roller coaster that is supporting the USMNT. Scuffed covers all the angles: lineup and player analysis, game recaps, drama, culture, and the status of the game in America. Adam, Vince, Greg, and Chris are plugged into it all so you don’t have to be and cover it with aplomb.

Nathanhoward44 · Jun 2025

Absolutely LOVE the content of this podcast. I appreciate the no frills just facts aspect of the vibe, as well as the tangents and sidebars that each host goes on— let’s us see them as people more than pundits. Production values have improved greatly from early days. Quality and integrity through and through.
