  • 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.

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.
The Truth on Gio Reyna, McKennie's USMNT Fit and Being Unprepared for the World Cup with Paul Tenorio
Q: What are the five most important USMNT things to watch before the World Cup?
Paul Tenorio outlines five key areas: the back-line battles and adjustments, nine-depth and goalscoring options behind Baligan, the goalkeeper situation with Freese as a likely starter and Turner as a potential back-up, Weston McKennie's role and leverage in the midfield, and the Gio Reyna situation as the central, defining wildcard for the squad.
USMNT Concerns + Alex Ramos on Elite Training & Growing Up with Tab
Q: How did growing up with a legendary father shape your career decisions and your approach to training?
Alex explains that being around elite soccer from a young age created a deep aspiration and a practical understanding of what it takes to succeed, which informed his decision to build a coaching business focused on scalable, real-world drills and accessible content for players at all levels.
Tony Meola on 1994 World Cup, His All-Time USMNT XI & His Best Performance
Q: What do you consider your personal best performance in a US jersey?
I measure my career by consistency across many games, but the standout performance was the win over England in the US Cup, and my own view was that five great games outweighed the rest.
Tony Meola on 1994 World Cup, His All-Time USMNT XI & His Best Performance
Q: What was the one time your confidence was actually shaking in a game, if at all?
I'd have to say about 30 seconds after giving up a goal against Romania in the World Cup, then I refocused and redeemed myself.
