About this episode

Landon Donovan and Tim Howard discuss Mauricio Pochettino's future with the USMNT and the challenges ahead for the team.

Mauricio Pochettino is staying with the USMNT! On Unfiltered Soccer with Landon Donovan and Tim Howard, Landon and Tim discuss the challenges ahead for the U.S. Men’s National Team head coach as they head into the first post-World Cup FIFA International friendly window and whether young talent like Cavan Sullivan might be the answers to the team’s problems. They also turn their attention across the pond as the English Premier League is set to return this weekend, and Arsenal hit the ground running as defending champions instead of on the hunt.  They also discuss Chucky Lozano’s move to the LA Galaxy, and whether Timo Werner’s first MLS season will result in a new tattoo for Tim. Plus, in the AT&T Fan Connection, the guys are answering your questions about the EFL Championship, how scouting works, and whether Vermont Green FC can one day find themselves promoted to USL League One.  New episodes of Unfiltered Soccer with Landon and Tim air on Tuesdays.
