Tom Bogert and Tab Ramos break down the latest news around U.S. Soccer, including Sebastian Berhalter's move to Middlesbrough and rising American prospect Benji Flowers signing with Chelsea.
Then the guys take a deep dive into the biggest question facing the USMNT: If Mauricio Pochettino decides not to return, who should be the next head coach? Tom and Tab evaluate some of the leading candidates—including Pellegrino Matarazzo, Gareth Southgate, Xavi Hernández, and Thierry Henry—and discuss what each would bring to the program.
With the next World Cup still four years away, Tab explains why he believes the USMNT should prioritize player development over short-term results and reveals the coaches he thinks are the best fit to lead the next generation of American talent.
