Gio Reyna club form vs. national team

Gio Reyna is an incredible singular creative. He seems to take it to another level, another gear, when he's representing the national team. But you still got to get this club situation figured out. 26 minutes is not enough.

Mauricio Pochettino future/rumors

I miss the world of football in England.

2026 World Cup expectations

This opportunity is so unique. To be able to have an entire country behind you, play with your heart, be brave, enjoy the moment... go out there and get the job done or leave the country and don't ever come back.

Brad Guzan

USMNT World Cup squad selection

You've got to be hungrier than the guy that's next to you. You've got to make them pick you, make them put you on that roster. It's really your last chance to do that.

USMNT striker analysis

Folarin Balogun is a complete striker. He can beat you on the dribble, he's good from outside the box, he can shoot with both feet, he can score with his head. It would be fun to play alongside him.

Player retirement/motivation

Once we didn't qualify in 2018, that's when I knew it was kind of time to hang the boots up because the motivation wasn't there anymore.

USMNT Goalkeeper battle

You want the confidence not only for the individual, whoever's in goal, but you want the team to be able to look back there and say, 'Yeah, we feel good about going into battle today.'

Brad Guzan

Goalkeeper rivalry/team culture

If you're not able to put the team first, it becomes really difficult to be in that environment. Tim Howard and I were friends off the field, but on the field, there was a battle. He was making me better, I was making him better.

Brad Guzan

USMNT vs. Belgium prediction

I'm going to go 2-1 U.S. I think it's an exciting game, it's going to be back and forth.

Clint Dempsey

I'm going to go bold, brave. We're going 2-0 to the U.S.
