David Ziemba and Kyle Jeanor, the president and secretary of the Indy Eleven supporters group the Brickyard Battalion, join Belz to catch us up on the latest from Indianapolis, where the USL team's stadium plans are on hold after the mayor and Major League Soccer started discussing bringing in a new franchise with new ownership and a different stadium plan. Very much an evolving situation, but Ziemba and Jeanor help sort it all out. Progress has been made.

A quick chat with Otis Lyons, a young guy from the Bay Area who has been traveling in Europe and North Africa, watching USMNT players at their home clubs, for the past two months. He visited Gaga Slonina's home club for a home game, saw Balogun at Monaco, Juve-Milan in Turin, Johnny at Osasuna in Pamplona and many more games in various places. Meanwhile he ran a marathon in Tunisia and ran into a snag in Belgium. We met him on the Scuffed Italy trip and thought it'd be fun to catch up a couple weeks later.
