In this episode, we juuust scratch the surface of goalkeeping as we talk to - in my opinion - one of the hardest working scouts in American soccer. No he’s not employed by the USSF, he’s just the “USMNT Prospects” guy.  If you’re a fan of keeping up with the men youth national teams then you’ve likely seen the account “USMNT Prospects” somewhere on your social media, which is single-handily ran by Daniel, who puts in countless hours for a consistent stream covering our country’s men youth scene. From my perspective, he’s the best at what he does. I can’t deny the hard work he puts into publishing tangible and accountable content. Overwhelmingly, most youth national team-based outlets speak in extremely vague terms, outsource a lot of their opinions to other outlets, and have little interest in being held accountable for what they say or put out there. However Daniel does a great job of admitting when he was wrong, as well as smashing you in the face with new names every week of players that are largely based here in the US. For USMNT fans who want something real and honest, Daniel is the guy to go. You may not always agree with what he writes, I don’t always agree with what he writes, but you know it’s real and honest at the end of the day. I really enjoyed my time talking with Daniel. We cover less about his methodology and speak more generally about the scouting scene and his hopes for it in the future. Please consider subbing to his Patreon, which is USMNTProsepcts. For just $5/month, it’s a great way to keep up with the men’s national team prospects, as well as supporting the work he puts it into it.
