The AO Podcast series returns just in time to preview a pair of crucial tests for the new-look, young-guns MNT. Host s Donald Wine and Dan Wiersema are joined by special guest Brian Sciaretta.

Sciaretta is the editor and head writer of American Soccer Now and also writes regularly for The New York Times.

If you know Sciaretta then you know, as we say in the pod, he's got more scouts and spies around the globe than the CIA". He's always keeping tabs on American abroad and is the perfect guest to breakdown this youth-centric roster. He also gives some updates on players to watch for as potential call ups in the October and November friendlies.
