Episode Notes

The United States is through to the knockout stage after an impressive 2-0 victory over Australia, and we're breaking down everything we learned from the USMNT's latest World Cup performance. From Mauricio Pochettino's tactical adjustments following Christian Pulisic's absence to Folarin Balogun's standout display, we'll discuss how the Americans found another way to win and why their depth continues to be one of the tournament's biggest storylines. We'll also share our experiences covering USA-Australia in Seattle, including the atmosphere around the city, the scene inside the stadium and some of the most interesting takeaways from the postgame mixed zone. Plus, we'll discuss Canada's statement win over Qatar, Seattle's emergence as one of the tournament's standout host cities and some of the biggest storylines from around the World Cup as the group stage rolls on.
