Jesse’s USMNT starting XI, Reyna’s new agent, McKennie & the midfield pecking order (Soccer 1/15)

Jimmy Conrad and Charlie Davies react to Jesse Marsch’s proposed starting lineup for Saturday’s friendly against Slovenia. Spoiler alert: it doesn’t include Diego Luna! (06:04) Then, the guys give flowers to Joe Scally and Venezia duo Gianluca Busio and Tanner Tessman (23:40) before discussing Weston McKennie’s incredible form for Juventus and which midfielders they would displace from a fully-fit USMNT player pool (30:19). Gio Reyna’s situation at Dortmund looks untenable, but with super agent Jorge Mendes now fighting in his corner perhaps a move to greener pastures is just on the horizon? (37:40) And should Luciano Acosta get a U.S. passport, should Gregg Berhalter be the first person to congratulate the reigning MLS MVP? (48:11)
