With Daryl away, Taylor called up Sam Tighe of the B/R Football Ranks podcast to discuss his favorite move of the January window, as well as the one he found the strangest. After that, we get into the specific situations of some of Europe's biggest clubs, as well as what they might need to do this summer to stay on top. Lastly, we close out with a game of "Stay Or Go" in which Sam predicts the summer fortunes of nine players and whether they will remain with their current clubs or move on in search of greener pastures.

Lost to discuss from the USMNT's 1-0 win over Costa Rica. We look at the team's attacking and defensive shape, the patterns of play we saw successfully implemented, the individual performances of players like Jesus Ferreira and Ulysses Llanez, and plenty more.

Starting at 46:30, we take a look at the USWNT's 8-0 win over Panama. It was all a little too easy for the US because Panama provided way too much space to play into, but we highlight the moments we enjoyed, including little bits of magic from Tobin Heath, Emily Sonnett, and Rose Lavelle.

Daryl and Taylor each do their best to select a starting eleven for the USMNT that blends what Berhalter might do with what each host wants him to do. They then take a look at Los Ticos, including how they might play under Ronald Gonzalez and who their key performers could be. Lastly, there are many questions (some of them even mildly positive) from Twitter to be answered and scouting reports to be read!
