We are nearing the end of 2025 and so it’s time for our USMNT year-end awards show. Today, we’re going to choose our player of the year, players with the biggest stock up and down of the year, most memorable moment, and then we’ve got a bonus category for you. You’ll have to stick around to the end to hear that one.

On today’s show, we are going to preview the World Cup draw that will happen this Friday, December 5. With 48 teams, split into 12 different groups, there are a load of possibilities for what the USMNT’s draw could look like.

We’re less than seven months away from the USMNT’s opening World Cup match, and after these last three Fall windows, it seems we have a lot more data on what kind of roster Pochettino wants to put together. So I thought today’s show would be a good time to take everything we know as of now, and try to predict what the final 26-man World Cup roster will look like.
