Episode Details

This one’s dedicated to Tony Meola. Our friend, co-host, and USMNT legend is on the road to recovery after a heart attack, and Jimmy Conrad and Charlie Davies are sending all their love and support. We miss you, Big Tones —can’t wait to have you back!

On the pitch, Josh Sargent is on fire for Norwich, but can he bring that form to the USMNT (56:38)? Christian Pulisic finally missed a penalty as Milan’s struggles continued—because even the best runs have to end sometime (14:21). MLS Opening Weekend didn’t disappoint, serving up golazos, surprises, and plenty of talking points (24:34). Jimmy shares his Diego Luna scouting report, while Jordan Morris and Brian Gutiérrez kicked off their seasons with braces. How will playing alongside Lionel Messi shape Benjamin Cremaschi’s development (31:56)?

US Soccer released the Nations League preliminary roster, and it didn't include Richy Ledezma. Does Mexico beckon for the PSV man (39:05)?

What’s next for Gio Reyna after another underwhelming outing (45:47)? Will Dortmund salvage their season in the UCL? And are San Diego better than we thought after stunning the LA Galaxy (56:49)?
