Welcome to Persistent Infringement, the podcast where we talk American soccer - women's and men's, club and country, home and abroad. We cover the USWNT, USMNT, NWSL, MLS, and Americans Abroad.
We take a break from all things USMNT, USWNT, MLS, NWSL, and Americans Abroad to talk about Euro 2020 with English-Spanish friend Stuart. He has lots of joy for England, some good vibes for Spain, and we predict the England-Italy final match.
We'd love to hear your thoughts on all of the above!

Episode 11: The USMNT's Olympic March has ended
In this episode, I look for the positive next steps for the US Men's U-23 Olympic qualification team members. What can they take away from this tournament experience as they go back to their club careers? Also, I preview the CONCACAF Champions League for MLS sides Portland, Atlanta, Philadelphia, Toronto, and Columbus. All have difficult first leg match ups away. Which opponents will cause the most problems for MLS sides?
Of course, I'd love to hear your thoughts on all of the above.

Episode 10: USMNT March to the Olympics continues
In this episode, I check in on the USMNT's CONCACAF Olympic Qualifying tournament, including the lineups we should use to ensure qualification. I explain why the Olympics are the second most important tournament for the US. I discuss my thoughts on the senior USMNT roster for this week's friendlies against Jamaica and Northern Ireland; look at the USWNT roster for April friendlies vs Sweden and France, and talk about why the USMNT should use two completely separate squads for World Cup qualifying home and away.
