Episode Notes

immy Conrad, Charlie Davies, and Tony Meola recap a flat 2-0 defeat for the USMNT in New Jersey, where Heung-min Son torched the Americans with a goal and an assist (00:58). The guys agree Mauricio Pochettino’s lineup and tactical experiments simply aren’t working (06:44), with Chris Richards left out and the attack offering little threat. With five straight losses to FIFA top-25 opponents, they ask whether the team had more clarity under Gregg Berhalter (22:45) and what needs to change ahead of Tuesday's clash against Japan (35:04).
