Call It What You Want: A CBS Sports Golazo Network Podcast

Jimmy Conrad, Charlie Davies and Tony Meola get braced for the latest instalment of the USMNT's not-so-friendly rivalry with El Tri. The crew assesses how the new-look team has looked so far with the likes of Julian Hall making an immediate impact in their first national team camp (03:21). Mauricio Pochettino says Sebastian Berhalter is "priceless," so does that mean the Boro man will start against Mexico (13:38)? Having lost his previous two encounters coaching against Mexico, how much pressure is on Poch to win this time (20:43)? Rafa Márquez is at the wheel, and with star boy Gilberto Mora likely out due to injury, how will the new coach line up on Saturday (31:26)? And the guys debate the USMNT's strongest starting XI as they look to restore regional pride (44:43).

Jimmy Conrad, Charlie Davies and Tony Meola break down the second game of the USMNT’s window, another chance for the new faces on the roster to make their mark, and another win over a South American opponent - this time a 4-2 victory over Chile. Julian Hall scored his second goal of the window, while Mathis Albert became the youngest player ever to score for the USMNT as the new generation continued to make its case. But it wasn’t all perfect, with the U.S. exposed by a few defensive lapses throughout the game. Plus, what happened at the final whistle? The guys break down the wild team brawl that capped off a memorable night in St. Louis.

Jimmy Conrad, Charlie Davies and Marcelo Balboa react to the USMNT's 4-1 win over Peru, as Mauricio Pochettino's first full cycle began with a wave of new faces. Eleven of the 13 uncapped players called into camp earned their first caps, and while Cavan Sullivan entered the night as the biggest talking point, teenagers Justin Ellis and Julian Hall stole the show with goals on their international debuts.

The guys go line-by-line to assess the performances, identify the players who made the biggest impressions and discuss what the new generation could mean for the USMNT moving forward. Then, they look ahead to Tuesday's friendly against Chile and what Pochettino could learn from another opportunity to evaluate his young players.

The new USMNT cycle starts Saturday against Peru, and Jimmy Conrad, Charlie Davies and Tony Meola are looking ahead to what could be a very different-looking team under Mauricio Pochettino. What matters most coming out of the World Cup: formation or personnel? George Campbell joins from camp to talk about his return to the national team after the disappointment of missing the World Cup. The West Brom captain opens up about his MLS-to-Championship move, what he learned from missing out on the biggest stage, and his mindset heading into September- October camp. Plus, the guys reflect on their own experiences as USMNT first-timers before making their cases for the XI they want to see against Los Incas.

Jimmy Conrad, Charlie Davies and Tony Meola kick things off by reacting to U.S. Soccer paying tribute to Tim Ream (03:05) before turning their attention to the current roster. Ricardo Pepi has withdrawn from camp through injury - will it ever happen for him in a USMNT shirt (15:39)? And will the two strikers in camp, Damion Downs and Julian Hall, make the most of the opportunity (17:38)? The crew also reacts to Noahkai Banks opting to play for Germany (27:29) and asks whether Mauricio Pochettino is making an example of Christian Pulisic (35:58). Plus, the paradox that is Johnny Cardoso: trusted by Diego Simeone, but still looking to establish himself as a USMNT regular (44:33). And finally, roster newcomers celebrate their call-ups with goals in MLS (1:00:06).

Mauricio Pochettino is using his first roster of the new cycle to experiment, evaluate and open the door to new possibilities. Jimmy Conrad, Charlie Davies and Tony Meola break down the 28-man roster, including 13 uncapped players getting their chance to prove themselves at the international level. Which of the fresh faces could make a real impression, and what do the new options tell us about the direction of this team? And while the door opens for some new players, some familiar faces are missing with Christian Pulisic, Weston McKennie and Tim Weah among the notable omissions. The crew also get into the goalkeeper and center back situations, discuss Gio Reyna and Yunus Musah, and recap Wednesday's U.S. Open Cup semifinal action.

It's an American invasion in the Europa League, but who's best placed to lift the trophy or make a big impact in the competition (47:11)? And is the U.S. Open Cup Orlando's to lose?

Jimmy Conrad, Charlie Davies and Tony Meola dive into Mauricio Pochettino's comments about Noahkai Banks' international future (05:36), recruiting other dual nationals (11:30), and the need for young players to check their behavior (15:55).

The crew assesses Gio Reyna's promising start to life at Strasbourg (53:48) and gets set for a UCL league phase involving eight Americans (1:00:02)!
