About this episode

The hosts discuss World Cup preparations and answer listener questions about the USMNT.

With 47 days to go until the USMNT's World Cup roster drops, Jimmy Conrad and Tony Meola open the mailbag - Charlie Davies eventually shows up, fashionably late as always. Tony addresses the week's gut-punching news: Patrick Agyemang is out of the World Cup (03:05). Then, the guys dive into your questions. What changes are needed before facing Paraguay in the opening game (09:23)? Would Gio Reyna's inclusion in the squad disrupt harmony (12:09)? Which legend from a past era does the current team need most (16:58)? What should the Pochettino succession plan look like (23:58)? Should Poch take a last-minute flyer on RSL's Zavier Gozo (36:49)? Tony reflects on the making of the USMNT's 1990 World Cup anthem "Victory" (38:54). The crew discuss their favorite youth soccer memories, and share advice for soccer parents (48:49). And, Liga MX teams take the upper hand in the Concacaf Champions Cup quarterfinals, but can an MLS side upset the apple cart (57:25)?
