Velasquez and Belz recap the 2-0 win in Seattle. A vibesy, workmanlike victory. Without Pulisic, and with an off night from Balo, we still got a comfortable win, a "Country Roads" serenade, and thanks to Turkiye's loss to Paraguay, we've won the group.

Vince and Belz are joined by Andrew Jones, the New York-based sports reporter who writes for several outlets and covers the USMNT (and USWNT) faithfully, often providing the best moments in press conferences with his questions. We talk about the cultural impact of the World Cup, the songs, his approach to asking players questions, how people are feeling about the USMNT, things like that.

Vince and Belz go for 90+ minutes on the cathartic victory in Charlotte. Brilliance in the attack from us, some of our centerback candidates were less than brilliant, Dest is a winger, Pepi integral in both first half goals, Tillman provides a moment of transcendence, it's on to Germany.
