The Best Soccer Show boys are back to talk about the new USMNT roster dropped by head coach Mauricio Pochettino on Thursday. The headline is that Christian Pulisic asked to be left out of the summer Gold Cup tournament after a long couple of season for club and country.

Was it the right choice for Pulisic and for Pochettino?

There's a full roster breakdown, speculation about who could start in the games ahead, and debate about a number of names, both absent and present. Jonathan Tannenwald of the Philadelphia Inquirer (OMFG PG-13, IT'S JTT) calls in to talk Yanks with the boys.
