We open by offering what we're thankful for this Thanksgiving, starting with Daryl's "two other teams." Then we get into listener questions.

Here they are, with timestamps:

12:30 — If the USMNT were a Thanksgiving dish, what would they be?

20: 50 — Why are so many CONCACAF youth tournaments hosted in the United States?

26:48 — What should USMNT fans realistic expectations be while the team rebuilds?

40:05 — What was so bad about the Klinsmann era? What are some things he did well?

53:40 — Question for the kids table: How do you teach children under age 10 to kick the ball properly?
