FOX Soccer Insider Doug McIntyre joins Alexi Lalas and David Mosse for an in-depth, boots-on-the-ground look at the USMNT’s October international window. Doug shares exclusive notes from Mauricio Pochettino’s camp — including how the new boss “blew everything up” after the March camp. We dive into standout stories: Matt Freese locking down the No. 1 goalkeeper spot, Cristian Roldan’s resurgence, and updates on Christian Pulisic’s injury and recovery ahead of Milan vs Fiorentina. Is Weston McKennie the best U.S. midfielder of all-time?

We also preview what’s ahead for U.S. stars abroad — Ricardo Pepi back in training with PSV, Johnny Cardoso’s La Liga return delayed, and Chris Richards’ inspiring interview with Doug on his goal to become the best USMNT defender ever.

Finally, we preview MLS Decision Day drama, dive into listener #AskAlexi questions, and celebrate the incredible career of Brad Guzan.
