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.

The biggest island of them all wants in! News broke recently that Greenland has sent a request to join Concacaf after failing to join UEFA.
