Episode Notes
The USMNT finally gets back in the win column, but what did we really learn from a wild 3-2 victory over Senegal?
Live from The Quin, in Boston, Jimmy Conrad, Charlie Davies, and Marcelo Balboa break down a confidence-boosting performance in the Red, White, and Blues' penultimate tune-up before the 2026 FIFA World Cup. Christian Pulisic snapped a 22-game goal drought, Sergiño Dest opened the scoring, and Folarin Balogun delivered the winner. Plus, Ricardo Pepi and Malik Tillman had statement performances against the Teranga Lions.
The guys react to Mauricio Pochettino's decision to make 10 halftime changes and debate which players have locked down spots in the USMNT's strongest starting XI. With one friendly remaining before the World Cup kicks off on home soil, are the pieces finally starting to come together?
Plus, player ratings from top to bottom, concerns at the back despite the victory, and a full assessment of Pochettino's tactics and formation.
