The final episode of the Crash Course. We will be doing USA game recaps, but school is out! Christian Lee, Lodge Dils and Max Heath are once  again joined by casual fan Michael Sturm. We start by introducing the  last piece of the puzzle for the USA: projected World Cup breakout star   Yunus Musah. The boys about Yunus’ decision to pick the USA over his  other options, the important role of dual nationals in this team, and  Gregg Berhalter’s strength in recruiting. Next, the crew discusses World  Cup breakout stars of the past, and why Musah is considered a  candidate. (Watch on YouTube for best quality) For the good stuff, World  Cup brackets are filled out, picking each individual group as well as  the group of death and weakest group. Finally, the knockout rounds are  chosen to determine a champion of the world.
