Episode Notes
Tom Bogert and Tab Ramos react to the USMNT's disappointing exit from the FIFA World Cup following its Round of 16 loss to Belgium. They break down Christian Pulisic's poor performance, question Mauricio Pochettino's tactical approach, discuss the impact of the Folarin Balogun controversy, and examine what ultimately went wrong for the United States on the biggest stage.
Then the conversation turns to the future of the program. Tom and Tab discuss what changes U.S. Soccer should consider, whether it's time for new leadership, what qualities the next head coach should bring, and the steps that must be taken to improve player development if the U.S. hopes to compete with the world's elite in future World Cups.
A difficult tournament comes to an end, but the bigger conversation about the future of American soccer is only just beginning.
