USMNT World Cup roster

Gio is in. Gio is coming to the World Cup, like, even if he doesn't play again all spring.

Host

USMNT player discipline and fitness

Players need to understand that we control everything. We have all the information and they cannot cheat us. I don't say that Diego is cheating us, but it's important to be focused in the World Cup.

Mauricio Pochettino

USMNT roster selection philosophy

It's an art because every single player is different and can add different things to the team. We cannot follow some rule because I think it's not fair to judge all in the same way.

Mauricio Pochettino

Noakai Banks recruitment

It's a difficult situation, and hope for USA say that the decision will be for our side, because I think he's not only present, if not his future too.

Tactical shift under Pochettino

Potch has not been afraid to commit numbers forward. Probably the main difference between now and Berhalter ball where it was forbidden. Rest defense was everything.

Host

Tanner Tessman tactical analysis

Tanner Tessman is a very good player because he has one thing that is very important. Brain.

Weston McKennie form

Juventus is Weston McKinney plus 10 players now. We are so happy for that because that means that he's an important player for Juventus.

Mauricio Pochettino

USMNT player pool depth

We need to start producing our own good center backs; this is a national crisis.

Host

Johnny Cardoso form

Johnny Cardoso provided just a moment of class... he kicks off a whole goal sequence for Atletico Madrid. That's the stuff that he does every once in a while which fooled me before.

Host

USMNT roster construction

Once Tyler Adams is out, you know you're getting Sebastian Berhalter in and Christian Roldan in. And once Haji Wright's out, you know Big Pat's in.
