Christian Lee and Max Heath are joined by casual soccer fan and American Soccer Crash Course enthusiast Caroline Danos to discuss an issue of paramount importance: who will start at center forward and score the goals for the USMNT at the World Cup? The crew looks at the candidates and breaks them into 4 groups: left at home, on the plane, on the bench and the starter. Arguments are weighed, decisions are made, and in the end, some dreams are crushed. Next, Caroline and Max test their knowledge of the first 6 episodes of the show in our midterm exam. We wrap up with a detailed analysis of what really matters: vibes. Caroline assesses the vibes of our four candidates as the end all be all for their World Cup dreams.
