On Thursday night, The USMNT lost 2-1 to Panama in their second group stage match of the Copa America. Tim Weah received a red card in the 18th minute which meant the U.S. had to play with ten men for the remainder of the match. Folarin Balogun scored four minutes later to give the U.S. a 1-0 lead but then Panama came back and scored in the 26th and 83rd minute to win the match.

We are just over three weeks away from the USMNT’s opening match against Bolivia in the Copa America. And one of the biggest questions U.S. fans still have is: Who’s going to replace Sergiño Dest at right back?

The U.S. still has a full training camp to figure that out including two friendlies against Colombia and Brazil. Gregg Berhalter recently announced which 27 players will be participating in that camp and in his press conference afterwards, he provided a few clues about the options he’s considering to fill-in for the injured Dest. On today’s show, we’re going to dig into each of those options.
