Jimmy Conrad and Tony Meola dive into the stunning list of names composing the USMNT's roster for September’s friendlies against South Korea and Japan (04:06). Mauricio Pochettino welcomes Christian Pulisic back, but leaves several established names out including Weston McKennie. Would the best XI of call-ups beat the best XI of absences (21:56)? And with the World Cup looming, should Poch know his strongest team already, and what should his priorities be ahead of 2026 (28:24)? Plus, Haji Wright’s scoring streak at Coventry (46:09) and Johnny Cardoso’s rise at Atletico Madrid despite missing the squad (51:26).
