Tom Bogert and Tab Ramos react to the USMNT's impressive 2-0 victory over Australia and the tactical decisions that made the difference. The guys explain why Mauricio Pochettino's move to pair Ricardo Pepi alongside Folarin Balogun opened up the attack, allowing Balogun to thrive once again. They also discuss why Sergiño Dest's unpredictability makes him a nightmare for defenders, how Alex Freeman continues to cement himself as a future star for the national team, and the latest on Christian Pulisic's recovery.
With the U.S. already clinching first place in the group, Tom and Tab debate what changes should be made for the upcoming match against Türkiye. Who deserves a chance to start, who needs rest, and which players need to stay off the field at all costs?
Plus, the guys revisit Tab's DraftKings predictions from the week's biggest matches and see how his picks held up.
