David Mosse and special guest Doug McIntyre break down the U.S. Women’s National Team’s first loss to Brazil since 2014. Emma Hayes rolled out the squad’s youngest starting lineup in 26 years as she continues to prioritize progress and expanding the player pool over short-term success. Mauricio Pochettino on the other hand, has half the time to finalize World Cup rosters and far fewer wins with the national team. Is it Gold Cup title or bust for the USMNT and Pochettino? The USMNT coaching staff will continue their scouting tour and spend time with MLS players and teams ahead of the next window. To wrap the show, Mosse and Doug recap Messi’s heroics in the CONCACAF Champions Cup, and Declan Rice’s spectacular free kicks in the first leg of the UEFA Champions League.
