Tim Howard talks U.S. future; Do friendlies even matter?; Remembering Boca vs. River

This week, the Planet Futbol crew had the pleasure of being joined by U.S. goalkeeper Tim Howard, who was reduced to a back-up role in his first games back from a one-year international hiatus. He speaks to Si Senior Writer Grant Wahl (twitter.com/grantwahl) about his current U.S. status, Everton's season and his plans to play until the conclusion of the 2018 World Cup before moving on from the game. Also, SI.com's Brian Straus (twitter.com/BrianStraus) discusses how much of an indicator of future success or failure have friendlies actually been during the Jurgen Klinsmann era. We close with personal reflections and experiences of the Superclásico ahead of the latest installment of Boca Juniors vs. River Plate in Argentina.
