  • 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.
