World of Concacaf Podcast

Another CONCACAF LASER FOCUS for the pod, as the group takes a look at the island nation of Saint Lucia. After sharing some fun facts involving iguanas, we look at soccer on the island and a bit about Stern John's Piton Boyz in advance of their redemption campaign in World Cup Qualifying.

No, we don't have any ticket information either.

On this episode, we answer your questions and talk Concacaf! Topics include what Concacaf Champions Cup underdogs could make a run  (2:12), whether it's worth reviving the Caribbean Cup (9:20), the best of USMNT's "Camp Cupcake" (16:23) and whether CAF should get an invite to Concacaf's nonsense (25:10).
