  • Really insightful for USMNT and footie fans

    Honestly I wasn’t always an LD fan. Loved what he did for us but thought he was offputting. But having spent time listening to him on US, I think he has some of the very best takes of any commentator today. He is brutally honest but he is honest. I love his perspectives. Timmy is great too but I really enjoy hearing LD the most. They are a great duo. Every USMNT fan should subscribe to this pod.

  • Thanks boys

    My two favorite soccer stars representing the US for the last - jeez, two decades. This has nothing to do with the podcast - the one thing I don’t understand is that soccer isn’t more popular in the US. It’s cheaper than all other sports - it’s a ball and grass. But then there’s the money question. Off the soapbox.

  • Love the podcast but…

    Ok so we love the podcast but have a huge issue with the AUDIO engineering. Guys please listen back to your own show. Is it reverb? Not sure honestly, all I know is its annoying. It feel too low and too loud at the same time??

  • The Best

    As a podcaster myself I have always thought podcasts were the place where people who really love the subject can go and find great info and talk. And that’s what this is. There’s no BS, no hot takes, no clickbait nonsense. I’m so glad I found this show.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Jason Kelce on Messi, USMNT World Cup Hopes & Why Soccer Is Harder Than Football| Unfiltered Soccer
Q: Hey Jason, before we start, hit me. How was this penalty kick thing with Tim?
Jason explains the setup with Tim teaching him penalty kicks, the excitement of trying something new, and how he didn't manage to block any kicks yet still felt he learned a lot and had fun.
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.
2026 USMNT World Cup Preview | Unfiltered Soccer
Q: What does success look like for US Soccer in the 2026 World Cup and beyond?
Success is defined by winning World Cups, broadening soccer's reach to be the number-one sport in communities, and creating ownership and connectivity across fans, clubs, and youth development in the United States.

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