Joe Scally talks USMNT, Gladbach nurturing his growth, his World Cup hopes and his trial by fire vs. Bayern

In this edition of his weekly column, ESPN's lead Bundesliga commentator Derek Rae sits down for a special one-one-one conversation with Borussia Monchengladbach defender and United States men's national team prospect Joe Scally.

It's a rare treat for a commentator to be able to get to know the players we cover regularly that bit better. I wanted to share what I found out about the 19-year-old from Lake Grove, New York, and there's no better way to do that than to publish a written transcription of our enjoyable conversation last week.
