Episode Details

Jimmy Conrad, Charlie Davies, and Tony Meola bring you the very best moments from a rollercoaster 2025 for fans of the USMNT. From the disappointment of the Concacaf Nations League Finals to a Gold Cup of auditions under Mauricio Pochettino, and capped off with morale-boosting results against World Cup-calibre opponents, this special edition of CIWYW revisits the conversations that defined it all.

You’ll hear Marcelo Balboa reflect on the emotion of representing the U.S. at a home World Cup, Christian Pulisic explain his absence from the Gold Cup squad, and a fiery debate over whether Pochettino could squeeze big names out of the picture. Premier League legend Ashley Cole joins to break down Antonee Robinson, the modern fullback, and the USMNT’s World Cup chances, before Jürgen Klinsmann shares unforgettable stories involving Pulisic, Landon Donovan, and his lost World Cup-winning jersey.

From the whole CIWYW crew, thanks for riding with us all year. Settle in, enjoy the holidays, and relive the moments that made 2025 unforgettable.
