  • Tab brings the legacy, Tom brings the juice

    I would trade all of my natural draft picks, an International Spot, and an absurd amount of GAM for more episodes.

    Tab brings the lived experience and institutional memory of a true US soccer legend while Bogert, who we’ve all heard as a cohost or scene stealing guest elsewhere, absolutely shines as the engine of the show.

    This is Tom at his best: driving the conversation, asking sharp but accessible questions, and translating the complexities of American soccer without dumbing anything down... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

If Tab Ramos Ran U.S. Soccer…
Q: How should the federation balance a centralized style with regional talent?
The discussion suggests maintaining core principles while allowing regional adaptation, with a national framework guiding the development of players from youth levels up to the senior team.
If Tab Ramos Ran U.S. Soccer…
Q: What needs to change in how US Soccer communicates and handles coaching and development?
He argues for a designated leadership figure who can consistently articulate the federation's plan across youth, scouting, and senior teams, rather than having decisions come from disparate executive voices.
If Tab Ramos Ran U.S. Soccer…
Q: If you were in charge of US Soccer, what is the one thing you'd do in that day?
Tab Ramos emphasizes creating accountability by naming true technical directors for both the men's and women's programs, who would oversee strategy, development, scouting, and communications, ensuring clear points of contact and a unified direction.
Should Pochettino Stay? U.S. Development Issues & World Cup Final Preview
Q: Should the Federation bring back Mauricio Pochettino as coach?
No, primarily because of the pattern of second-cycle hires failing to deliver lasting success and because his own long-term fit with an American program is questionable; a stable, long-term plan with a clear leadership structure is preferred over another high-profile, short-term appointment.
Transfer News, Pochettino's Best Move, and USMNT's First Rock Star with Brian Dunseth
Q: How has Mauricio Pochettino changed the culture of the USMNT group and what is your evaluation of its impact so far?
Dunny explains that the culture shift is about a leadership-driven environment where players feel watched, pushed, and aligned around clear non-negotiables, which helps convert potential into consistent performances and builds a stronger, more cohesive roster.
