Qualification Day started with a healthy couch debate between Spencer Owen and Jimmy Conrad after Jimmy opened the show with a claim that he is “everyone's favorite former US Men's National Team member”. There was only one way to settle this. Poll it on Twitter!
There’s only one correct answer here, everyone. https://t.co/P8xaaelqZI

Not a bad showing for Jimmy with 44% of the vote on his side. To be fair though, the US was still asleep when we posted this. You're our favorite host, Jimmy.
