In this episode of the podcast Southern Fried Soccer, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution's Doug Roberson interviews Atlanta United players Andrew Carleton and Chris Goslin after their participation in the Under-17 World Cup in India. Carleton and Goslin helped the U.S. advance to the quarterfinals of the tournament, where they were defeated by England 4-1.

They discuss the tournament, how they found out about the U.S. losing to Trinidad and Tobago and being eliminated from the World Cup, and what needs to happen with coaching to ensure that the U.S. never misses another World Cup.

Atlanta United will host Columbus in the first round of the MLS playoffs on Thursday at Mercedes-Benz Stadium.
