Dance Like Nobody's Watching? USMNT's International Break, the Trump Dance, and Berhalter Town Hall

(Video of this podcast is available on youtube) [https://www.youtube.com/@thefootymuseum] Justin and Maria are back to talk about the world of football (the soccer kind)! This week we talk about their experience at the recent town hall with Gregg Berhalter hosted by this Chicago Fire. We also discuss the USMNT's international break, which was overshadowed by one celebratory dance. Was Christian Pulisic's Trump dance appropriate, or alienating to fans?
