    The real impact of Matt Crocker's departure | Nashville makes history | Americans face off in Copa del Rey final (Soccer 4/16)
    Apr 16 2026
    Jimmy Conrad, Charlie Davies, and Tony Meola return with a deeper dive into the fallout from Matt Crocker’s sudden exit as U.S. Soccer sporting director, moving beyond the breaking news to unpack what the role actually demands, why progress on youth development has stalled, and whether anyone can truly fix one of American soccer’s most persistent problems (03:08). From there, the guys discuss the U.S. Open Cup's chaotic and cupset-filled Round of 32 (31:40), a historic night in Mexico as Nashville became the first MLS side to win at the Estadio Azteca, and whether LAFC are now the team to beat in the Concacaf Champions Cup (40:32). Plus, shockwaves in South Florida as Javier Mascherano exits Inter Miami - what’s really going on behind the scenes (49:04)? where Americans take center stage in the Copa del Rey final: can Pellegrino Matarazzo lead Real Sociedad to glory, or will Johnny Cardoso’s Atletico Madrid cap off an incredible week after booking their place in the Champions League semifinals (1:00:37)?

  • USMNT blanked in World Cup tune-up | USA vs. Portugal recap & reaction (Soccer 3/31)

    USMNT blanked in World Cup tune-up | USA vs. Portugal recap & reaction (Soccer 3/31)
    Apr 1 2026
    After a 2-0 defeat to Portugal, more questions than answers surround Mauricio Pochettino’s USMNT. Jimmy Conrad, Charlie Davies, and Tony Meola break down a frustrating night and a March camp defined by constant tinkering, with tactics, personnel, and, most notably, a back four that still isn’t convincing this close to the World Cup. There were bright spots - Auston Trusty made the most of his opportunity - but who else helped or hurt their case with the roster deadline looming? The guys debate the biggest selection dilemmas and build their ideal XI for the opener against Paraguay. Despite back-to-back losses, Pochettino and Christian Pulisic are striking a positive tone… but is that optimism justified, or a warning sign? Plus, Türkiye punch their ticket to Group D - are they the immediate favorites to top it? And what did Pochettino really mean by saying his squad doesn’t feature “top 100” players?

    Can USMNT close March on a positive? | USA vs. Portugal preview & predictions (Soccer 3/30)
    Mar 30 2026
    The vibes are… complicated. After a sobering 5-2 loss to Belgium, Jimmy Conrad, Charlie Davies, and Tony Meola regroup to unpack what went wrong, starting with a sharper reassessment of Johnny Cardoso’s first half and what it means for his role moving forward. The guys also take a closer look at Matt Turner and dig into what Mauricio Pochettino may (and may not) have learned from a night where intensity was a major question. From there, the focus shifts to Christian Pulisic, who reaches the 10-year mark with the United States men's national soccer team. But it’s not just a celebration as the crew weighs his current goal drought with the national team. Then it’s on to the final dress rehearsal. The USMNT faces Portugal national football team, a side missing stars like Cristiano Ronaldo and Rafael Leão, but still loaded with quality. The crew dives into Roberto Martínez’s setup and talks through what Pochettino’s projected XI could look like with roster decisions looming. One last test. Big calls ahead.
