Untimely Pepi Injury, Pulisic Ends Drought, Cholo Trusts Cardoso, USMNT Newcomers Ball Out (Soccer 9/22)
Description
Jimmy Conrad, Charlie Davies and Tony Meola kick things off by reacting to U.S. Soccer paying tribute to Tim Ream (03:05) before turning their attention to the current roster. Ricardo Pepi has withdrawn from camp through injury - will it ever happen for him in a USMNT shirt (15:39)? And will the two strikers in camp, Damion Downs and Julian Hall, make the most of the opportunity (17:38)? The crew also reacts to Noahkai Banks opting to play for Germany (27:29) and asks whether Mauricio Pochettino is making an example of Christian Pulisic (35:58). Plus, the paradox that is Johnny Cardoso: trusted by Diego Simeone, but still looking to establish himself as a USMNT regular (44:33). And finally, roster newcomers celebrate their call-ups with goals in MLS (1:00:06).
