    What a blowhard. I’ve tried listening for the past few months, but Alexi’s a clown. I’ve never heard someone speak with so much confidence while saying absolutely nothing. Enjoy continuing to steal Fox’s money.

    Watching the match tonight I feel embarrassed by the crowd reaction. We are playing in the Heartland of America but felt like an away game. When are we going to wake up as a fan base and get behind this young squad needs lesss than a year before the World Cup.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

USMNT dominates Uruguay 5-1 | Match Reaction
Q: Who has seized their opportunity the most since Pochettino has arrived?
Max Arpsten has solidified a case for why he should be at the World Cup, but players like Christian Roldan, Sebastian Berhalter, and Diego Luna have also emerged under Pochettino's guidance.
International Window Preview: Who will step up without Pulisic, Richards, McKennie?
Q: How do you plan to use the absence of Chris Richards?
Richards' absence gives the team a chance to experiment with different center back pairings, and it's a vital opportunity for others to step up and claim a spot.
International Window Preview: Who will step up without Pulisic, Richards, McKennie?
Q: What formation should be tried in the absence of key players?
Some are suggesting to try a 3-4-1-2 formation with two forwards, but caution is advised as the team may not be familiar with it yet.
International Window Preview: Who will step up without Pulisic, Richards, McKennie?
Q: Who steps up without Pulisic and Tillman?
Diego Luna, Gio Reyna, and Brendan Aaronson are candidates to fill the void left by Pulisic and Tillman, with a specific focus on Gio Reyna due to his potential.
Pepi makes history, Balogun bags his goal | USMNT in UCL Recap
Q: If you could swap out Mauricio Pochettino for Gregg Berhalter, would you do it?
While I would think about it, I believe that a regression to Berhalter would be problematic, given Pochettino's potential with this new generation of players.
