Rog is joined by USMNT defender Chris Richards to discuss the United States’ dream start to the tournament after wins over Paraguay and Australia. They begin with his emotional return to the global stage, then assess what has clicked inside Mauricio Pochettino’s system. Chris reflects on playing on home soil, the meaning of being “overly American,” and the unforgettable scenes in Seattle. Plus, he looks ahead to the final group-stage match against Turkey and explains why this team is embracing Pochettino’s “Why not us?” mentality.
