Pulisic hits form, Balogun back on pens, USMNT camp myth busting (Soccer 3/24)
Description
Call It What You Want, presented by Zillow, dives into a pivotal moment for the USMNT as the March camp ramps up ahead of a high-profile friendly against Belgium.
Jimmy Conrad, Charlie Davies, and Tony Meola break down the club form of Christian Pulisic and Folarin Balogun (08:15), and debate whether the USMNT’s attacking core is finally finding its rhythm at the right time. The crew also assess Malik Tillman’s first season at Leverkusen (15:53) and discuss who should be trusted from the penalty spot when it matters most (18:55).
Plus, after Tim Ream calls this the “most important camp” yet, the crew reflect on their own experiences fighting for spots with the national team - and push back on the idea that performances in camp alone determine a coach’s decisions. So what really matters to Mauricio Pochettino when evaluating his bubble players (31:57)?
Plus, Ricardo Pepi's move to Fulham looks in doubt (48:33) while Orlando City get a big boost with Antoine Griezmann set to join the MLS strugglers (54:35).
