The United States men’s national team roster is set for the Concacaf Nations League, but more important than that, Tony Meola makes his return to the show! Jimmy Conrad and Charlie welcome back Big Tones, and dive into Mauricio Pochettino’s 23-man squad. The guys go through the A to Z of notable omissions beginning with Brenden and Paxten Aaronson, and ending with Alex Zendejas. January camp matters again! At least that’s what the inclusion of six MLS players indicates. The crew discusses Diego Luna’s X factor. Then, reaction to the USMNT announcing pre-Gold Cup friendlies against Turkey and Switzerland. Concacaf has a mascot! And assuming Weston McKennie and Tyler Adams are locks, who should join them in midfield?
