About this episode

The episode discusses the USMNT's victory over Bosnia and Herzegovina and their progression in the World Cup, featuring analysis and insights from the hosts and a referee expert.

Live from Recess Chicago, Jimmy Conrad, Charlie Davies, Tony Meola, and Marcelo Balboa unpack the USMNT's 2-0 win over Bosnia and Herzegovina to clinch a place in the 2026 FIFA World Cup Round of 16. The crew breaks down Folarin Balogun and Malik Tillman's clutch goals, the U.S. grinding out a knockout stage win despite going down a man, and the controversial red card shown to Balogun. Referee analyst Christina Unkel joins the show to explain the bizarre decision and whether the officials got it right. Plus, with Belgium up next, the guys look ahead to one of the USMNT's toughest tests yet and discuss what Mauricio Pochettino's side must do to keep its World Cup run alive.
