We answer six glorious listener questions:

1. What's the best way to get in an opponents head during a game?

2. Which UEFA Nations League division would the US be in?

3. Why is it better for a goalie to bowl the ball to a teammate than throw or bound it them overhand?

4. What’s going on with the CONCACAF Nations League? Why does the 1st round have 34 teams each only playing 4 games?

5. Why does Daryl keep saying he wants defenders playing on the same side as their dominant foot?

6. What is the style or formation being used right now by only one or a few teams that could eventually become really popular and copied by a lot of teams?

We open start with a discussion about new GM Earnie Stewart's search for a new USMNT head coach.

At 19:00 we talk about the Mexico team, which players we expect to see against the US, and what we should look out for. And yes, we talk Jonathan Gonzalez.

At 37:15 we get into what we'd like to see from the USMNT in this game, not just in terms of lineup but also the individual little things we're looking.

We do a deep dive (but not like the one Fabinho is alleged to have done) review of the USA's match against Brazil. What were the Americans trying to do defensively and how dd Brazil nullify their efforts? Who stood out for the USMNT? Can Daryl and Taylor cram 10+ clunky analogies into one show? The answer to the last one is emphatically YES!
