The Backheeled Show

The United States play their first game of the World Cup on Monday against Wales. To help us learn more about Wales ahead of their matchup with the U.S., I chatted with Michael Pearlman, who works for BBC Sport Wales, on The Backheeled Show.

Michael gave me the rundown on Wales. He filled me in on their key players, how Robert Page wants his team to play, and so much more.

The Backheeled Show brings you unique conversations and 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.
