Vince and Sanjay take a fine-toothed comb to the weekend action. Gio plays well and scores in a losing effort to PSG. Tanner back in the XI and scores an authoritative game-winner for Lyon over Nice. MLS playoff picture coming into focus. We move.

Karl Dewazien played and coached at Fresno Pacific University before becoming California Youth Soccer's Director of Coaching in 1978 — a role he held for 33 years. He has a passion for setting up youth soccer so kids have fun and learn to love the game, and was a driving force behind the framework of small-sided games, buildout lines, and several of the modified rules we use to teach kids soccer today. He wrote a book on age-appropriate youth soccer: FUNdamental Soccer. He still blogs regularly on FundamentalSoccer.com

Greg and Vince recap the cherry on top of the window. We downed Marsch at the end of a 12-point break, played a lot of kids, will reap the benefits when it comes to Pot 1 math, Gio started 4-4, Freeman's influence expanding. The soccer wasn't fantastic but to a certain extent who cares.

Cavan scores again. His enthusiasm for playing for the USMNT, and his liquid jaw in media appearances, maybe edge over into cockiness a bit for Poch, and the coach (without directly naming him) warned that young players who haven't proved much should put their heads down and work. Fascinating stuff. Vince and Sanjay talk it over. Also Gio scored, Sanjay believes Tyler Adams played well because he saw it online (Vince notes he was preyed upon by Harvey Barnes on his way to a banger), and much more.

U.S. Youth Soccer, the organization under which 2.5 million kids play across the country, will be integrated into U.S. Soccer. Doesn't seem too meaningful on its face but it's major news across the grassroots and development landscapes. Mike Woitalla, the executive editor of Soccer America, joins Belz to walk through it. J.T. Batson called it a "defining moment," but it turns out, as with many things, the defining moments will be the quiet ones, behind the scenes, over the next several years.

Woitalla's piece on the topic: https://www.socceramerica.com/can-u-s-soccer-tame-the-wild-west-of-american-youth-soccer/

Charlie B, Vince and Belz try to make sense of the news. Maybe the Saudi league or Turkey? Maybe he stays and contributes at Monaco. But he's not going to the cloudy, working class streets of Liverpool.
