The wait is finally over! Mauricio Pochettino has been announced as the next head coach of the USMNT (1:56). But the former Chelsea and Tottenham will have his work cut out for him following the team's dull 1-1 draw against New Zealand. Jimmy Conrad, Charlie Davies and Tony Meola react to the worst-kept secret in sports being made official and discuss their expectations (15:30). What went wrong against the Kiwis? (20:54) Which players' stock rose and whose fell during the September window? (33:33) And what are Poch's key decisions ahead of October's friendlies against Panama and Mexico? (38:43) And with an Argentine now at the helm, the guys discuss the history of foreign managers leading American players (52:08).
