Today, I am on my own but there are still several topics to get into, including some major soccer news that broke earlier this morning. We will get into what that news means for US Soccer, we will then get back into some more transfer news for our players, and I will wrap today up with my first prediction of the year at what our World Cup roster will look like in 2026.

Last time out, we got into our annual Camp Cupcake roster and highlighted a couple of individuals who could have potential to make an impact in future USMNT camps. We kept it super high level and didn’t make any predictions or analyze anything as they prepared for their first friendly of 2024 against Slovenia that took place over the weekend.

But today, I am going to be joined once again by my good friend and host of the Pint House Soccer Stars podcast, Mr. Chris Piel, and we are truly just going to bounce around with a few topics across US Soccer. We will touch base on how this Camp Cupcake finished up, we will chat through some more transfer news as we only have about 10 days left for guys to make a move, and then we will give a couple of thoughts into other news across the American soccer landscape.

Today, we will get into this Camp Cupcake roster that was released last Friday that includes 25 players, including 15 who received their first ever call up into a senior camp. The plan for today isn’t to just go through player by player but more or less to highlight a few players who could have potential to make an impact with the senior team sooner rather than later. We will go through the squad as they prepare to face off against Slovenia next Saturday, January 20th at 3pm ET down in San Antonio. We will then finish off today’s episode with a question or two and then wrap up as we always do with a final thought of the week.
