A podcast following the U.S. Men’s National Soccer Team and their player pool across Europe, MLS, or wherever else they play their club football. Each week, Frank Garza talks with journalists, pundits, and media personalities who cover the USMNT, as well as international reporters who cover the club teams of Americans playing abroad.
USMNT Makes a Statement Against Mexico + Canada Preview
On today’s show, we break down the USMNT’s 3-0 win over Mexico and our biggest takeaways from the match. It wasn’t always the prettiest performance, but the U.S. was ruthless in taking advantage of Mexico’s mistakes and continued its nearly perfect start to the fall window.
We’ll also discuss the standout performances, including Cavan Sullivan becoming the youngest goalscorer in USMNT history, Julian Hall scoring his third goal of the window, and another impressive performance from Alex Freeman.
Plus, we look ahead to Tuesday’s match against Canada. We’ll discuss the starting lineup we’d like to see from Mauricio Pochettino, how he might balance resting players with putting out a strong team, which young players we still want to see get more minutes, and what to expect from Jesse Marsch and Canada as the USMNT looks to finish the window strong.
