With the World Cup not even started yet, Mauricio Pochettino has allegedly been in talks about another job. Jimmy Conrad, Charlie Davies, and Tony Meola react to reports linking the U.S. head coach to the AC Milan vacancy and debate whether the timing could become a distraction for the squad. The guys also celebrate Chris Richards capping off a remarkable year by helping Crystal Palace lift the UEFA Conference League trophy, then look at the growing list of Americans set for Europa League football next season.
After Tuesday’s roster reveal, the crew digs deeper into Pochettino’s vision for the USMNT midfield and how the manager may be building around his central options. Plus, Tony unveils his World Cup depth chart and breaks down the pecking order at every position.
Then, attention turns to Sunday’s showdown with Senegal - the hosts’ penultimate game before the World Cup begins. What kind of problems do the Lions of Teranga present, and are the Stars and Stripes ready for one of their toughest tests before the tournament kicks off?
