NEWSDESK: VOLAR! and Concacaf Nations League Finals Preview
Eric and Donald head to the NEWSDESK to chat about the beautiful nonsense around Concacaf. The guys preview the Concacaf Nations League Finals, talk about Concacaf's debut of VOLAR, the confederation's new mascot and run down the upcoming Gold Cup qualification matches. If you're looking for a podcast talking about an animorphic seabird that features flags of 41 nations in their wings but can still kick a soccer ball, you've found the right podcast.

#28 - Puerto Rico (featuring Jacob Conde)
A special CONCACAF LASER FOCUS as the guys take a look at Puerto Rico, a territory of the United States but a full Concacaf member. After looking at the history of the island and the soccer culture, the pod welcomes former Puerto Rico men's national team player Jacob Conde (30:52), who earned seven caps with El Huracán Azul from 2016-2019. After Jacob and Eric reminisce about their shared alma mater, we hear stories of first the call up, an away trip to India and competing in Concacaf Nations League.
