The Pulisic-Balogun Miss & USMNT Trust Rankings for the World Cup

Tom Bogert and Tab Ramos break down the biggest storylines surrounding the USMNT heading into the FIFA World Cup, including the red-hot form of Folarin Balogun and the missed opportunity to build chemistry with Christian Pulisic during the March friendlies.

They also discuss Pellegrino Matarazzo’s stunning Copa del Rey triumph and what it could mean for his future — could he one day lead the USMNT, or even make a jump to Real Madrid?

Tom and Tab then rank their Top 5 most trusted USMNT players heading into the World Cup, with a few notable absences sure to spark debate. Plus, Tab shares his perspective on why the rise of Major League Soccer hasn’t necessarily translated into a true growth in soccer culture across the United States.
