About this episode
Jimmy Conrad and Charlie Davies preview the USMNT’s friendly against Australia, but get things started by reacting to the U.S. crashing out of the U-20 World Cup following a 3-1 defeat to Morocco. What went wrong, and why can’t the Stars and Stripes get past the quarterfinals? Then, the guys dive into Mauricio Pochettino’s culture crusade, assess Australia’s 12-game unbeaten streak, debate lineup options, and make the case for Folarin Balogun starting up top, with a look at whether Weston McKennie should play in a deeper midfield role.
