Episode Notes
A new “perfect" striker emerges for the USMNT, and top European clubs are taking notice of our boys! Jimmy Conrad, Charlie Davies, and Tony Meola kick things off by breaking down Pellegrino Matarazzo’s unbeaten start at Real Sociedad (7:28), before Luciano Spalletti’s praise of Weston McKennie (11:28) sparks a wider debate: who is Concacaf's best striker right now (16:18)?
Plus, the January transfer window just got interesting... Villarreal are reportedly closing in on Alex Freeman (25:56), Fulham are in talks for Ricardo Pepi (32:26), and Diego Luna is drawing interest from multiple LaLiga sides (43:32). The guys weigh the risks and rewards of making a move with the World Cup looming.
Finally, it’s Champions League crunch time, with several Americans fighting for a Top 24 spot on matchday 8 (52:28), and the U.S. Open Cup returns with some mouth-watering Pro vs. Amateur first-round matchups (59:49).
