Episode Notes

What did we just witness?! The USMNT close out 2025 with a signature win with a 5-1 demolition of Marcelo Bielsa's Uruguay. Jimmy Conrad is joined by Jonathan Bornstein and Tab Ramos to break down every angle of a wild night in Tampa. The guys dig into Mauricio Pochettino’s heavily rotated lineup and how MLS standouts Sebastian Berhalter, Alex Freeman, and Diego Luna powered the U.S. to a stunning 4-0 lead. They assess the cultural shift under Poch, spotlight top individual performances, and react to Tab’s declaration that Gio Reyna is a lock. Plus: why didn’t Ricardo Pepi see the field, what should the minimum expectations be for 2026, and which players deserve the closest watch ahead of the March friendlies?
