Caitlin Murray of Fox Soccer joins Noah and Jon as they chat about whether there should be concern U.S. national team's failure at the SheBelieves Cup, what to make of the U-20s' triumph in Costa Rica, and U.S. Soccer's implementation of a national anthem policy.

Blake T. and Noah D. are the panelists today for a show themed around the thing everyone calls the big game for copyright reasons or something? We can only assume all these advertisements have been for Friday's United States friendly against Jamaica, which the guys preview as well as looking back at Bruce Arena's re-debut on Sunday.

Godcast! With a nod toward the location of the ASN EIC and this weekend's United States friendly, the guys talk about some of the young Americans impressing in Europe and what they want to see against Serbia.

Jon and Noah get ditched by Godfrey but plow ahead to talk about the United States' January roster, picking some of their breakout players and rating their good looks. OK, maybe that part doesn't happen.

See ya later, Jurgen Klinsmann. Noah and Jon talk about the implications of the United States coach's firing, what his legacy will be, how likely successor Bruce Arena will fare, and which players will benefit from a change at the top.

It's no werewolf bar mitzvah, but Richard Farley joins Noah and Jon to talk about some skin-crawling American soccer themes, like the Seattle Sounders' scary-good attack, a frightening number of people talking about playoff format, and the specter of Michael Orozco.

We're back! Noah and Blake join Jon for chat about the USMNT's situation heading into the last round of World Cup qualification, one player's decision to sit out from the team, and the fact that baseball is for olds.
