The Backheeled Show

The United States play their second of the World Cup on Friday against England. To help us learn more about England ahead of their matchup with the U.S., we chatted with The Athletic’s Michael Cox on The Backheeled Show.

Michael gave us the rundown on England. He filled us in on their key players, how Gareth Southgate wants his team to play, and so much more.

You can listen to the episode down below or follow the show wherever you get your podcasts.

***The Backheeled Show brings you unique coverage of the USMNT in just 10 minutes or less. We believe that just because soccer games are 90 minutes long, doesn’t mean that soccer podcasts have to be.***
