Episode Details

Jimmy Conrad and Charlie Davies break down the USMNT’s emphatic 3-0 victory over Costa Rica to close out January camp. Diego Luna delivered a “big balls” performance that wowed Mauricio Pochettino (04:56), Zack Steffen made a strong case for the No. 1 goalkeeper spot (12:10), and Patrick Agyemang is skyrocketing up the striker depth chart (13:59).

The guys react to Pochettino naming his all-time favorite USMNT players (29:35) —spoiler: they’ve got opinions—and highlight the winners and losers from January camp (35:37).

Plus, a quick recap of how the Americans fared in matchday 7 of the UEFA Champions League league phase (49:08), Nuri Şahin’s departure from Dortmund, and what it means for Gio Reyna’s minutes (55:47). In transfer news, Luca De La Torre is heading home to sunny San Diego, while Lennard Maloney rolls the dice with a move to Mainz (57:50).
