  • Keep up the good work

    I love the enthusiasm! Keep up the good work, boys. Might I suggest some creative top ten lists be incorporated into the show. I enjoy hearing lesser known stories from world cups past and behind the scenes stories of the hosts glory days. Amazing pod!

  • Green Dot 🟢

    Jimmy’s energy is contagious! Sometimes he can go a little overboard but Chuck and Big Tones always keep him in check. Love the occasional guests such as USMNT players and coverage of Americans abroad. Overall the show is a green dot.

  • Rambling mess

    This is in my feed because it’s daily coverage of the usmnt. But Jimmy and Charlie ramble on. They cannot stick to a point and they become incoherent.

    Tony is the only one who is professional and organized in his thoughts.

    I listen for the first few minutes to get the gist- but I find them unbearable.

    Wish it was just Tony.

    Or that Charlie’s and Jimmy could learn how to actually host a podcast. They are about as professional as two high school kids talking about the usmnt.

  • To much mls

    I used to really love this podcast, but lately it has been one less talk about the USMNT and interviews with former players and to overly focused on MLS and USL. All the domestic league talk is nauseating
