Jimmy Conrad, Charlie Davies, and Tony Meola look backward before looking forward, by analyzing Patrick Agyemang’s performance in the USMNT’s 3-1 victory over Venezuela. The crew discuss the Charlotte FC striker’s strengths, weaknesses, and potential ceiling before shifting focus to Wednesday’s friendly against Costa Rica. Could this be the perfect opportunity for Matt Freese and Diego Luna to step up? And what should fans expect from Miguel Herrera’s Ticos?

Lionel Messi trolled Club América fans during a preseason friendly where Inter Miami’s defensive frailties were on full display. Malik Tillman’s ankle injury raises concerns for Mauricio Pochettino’s Concacaf Nations League roster—how would the PSV man’s absence impact the U.S. midfield?

Finally, the guys dive into the drama surrounding John Tolkin’s icy reception at Holstein Kiel, where protests by ultras over his past social media activity have overshadowed his arrival. Does his apology go far enough, and what steps can he take to win over his new supporters?
