  • No ball knowledge

    Landon Donovan tried to say Clint Dempsey was better than Eden hazard. That opinion should ban you from ever speaking about soccer again. Since that won’t happen a 1 star rating is more than sufficient. Eden hazard was the best player in England for 3-4 years. This is pathetic and makes you two look like you have no idea what you are talking about.

  • Sports gambling ads!

    Was enjoying the episode when it took a break and Landon continued with his endorsement commercial for one of the sports gambling companies that have infested the US. Hell no! Instant unsubscribe- do you really need the tainted money that much, Landon???

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Pulisic Finally Scores, USMNT Goalkeeper Fiasco, Arsenal Bottle Champions League| Unfiltered Soccer
Q: Andy asks how Poch should select Gio Reyna over Diego Luna, given Luna's marketing push and Gio's talent.
Landon explains roster nuance, arguing Gio brings different qualities and should be considered if attitude and role fit are right, while Luna offers direct goal involvement and should not be dismissed outright; the 26-man roster allows walls of options, and decisions hinge on balance of attack and structure.

Q: What does success look like for US Soccer in the 2026 World Cup and beyond?

Q: What goes through your mind when you're facing a barrage of shots and you're the last line of defense?
