With just days to go until the 2026 FIFA World Cup, Jimmy Conrad, Charlie Davies, and Tony Meola preview Saturday's friendly against Germany, but first, they look back at some of the most memorable send-off matches in USMNT history, beginning with the iconic 1-0 win over Mexico before the 1994 World Cup. The guys discuss Sergiño Dest's praise for Sunday's crowd in Charlotte and the importance of home-field advantage going into the tournament. How can the U.S. expose Die Mannschaft? The guys talk tactical matchups, defensive weaknesses, and players to watch.
Plus, Ricardo Pepi's evolution at PSV, the battle for the No. 9 spot, and the crew's projected USMNT starting XI for Saturday's showdown.
