Tony Meola and Benny Feilhaber take the reins of the show - and there's plenty to talk about. The USMNT drops its 60-man preliminary Gold Cup roster, and once again there's no Gio Reyna (04:23). Meanwhile, it was a silverware-stacked weekend for Americans abroad: Chris Richards and Matt Turner made FA Cup history at Wembley, four Yanks helped PSV lift the Eredivisie title, and Damion Downs sealed promotion and a 2. Bundesliga championship (27:06). On the flip side, AC Milan miss out on Europe - could that actually benefit Christian Pulisic (34:50)? Plus, a U.S. Open Cup Round of 16 preview (48:17) - can the Pittsburgh Riverhounds play giant-killer again? - and a head-scratcher from LA Galaxy - why announce Greg Vanney's contract extension now (55:20)?

Forget the highlight reels! We dissect the avant-garde documentary "Zidane: A 21st Century Portrait," a cinematic experience that throws sports filmmaking conventions out the window. Join us as we explore the intense, real-time observation of Zinedine Zidane during a single La Liga match, captured by 17 cameras focused solely on the legendary footballer. We delve into the film's artistic approach, its focus on Zidane's subtle movements and inner world, the haunting soundtrack by Mogwai, and how it transforms a 90-minute game into a profound meditation on genius, isolation, and the raw humanity beneath the icon. Was this film a stroke of artistic brilliance or an unconventional sports study? Tune in to find out!

Sometimes, The Beautiful Game never quite lets us go! Joining Jen Siess this Soccer Mom Sunday was St. Louis soccer star, Annie Wayland. Like a lot of girls growing up in soccer “back in the day”, Annie's start was wherever she could find competitive play (lucky those boys' teams figured out she could find the back of the net and stopped hiding her on defense). Dad was her first coach and moved her onto a more competitive scene with JB Marine Soccer Club - where she was around so many top players in the area. In her time playing at Illinois State University, she smashed just about every record or achievement she could. And, this Hall of Famer has given back to the game ever since, coaching high school soccer for over 20 years now. Listen in for stories of Annie's start, how her parents' support kept her lifted the entire way, and her perspectives on what the game CAN and SHOULD give to our youth players.

Jimmy Conrad, Charlie Davies, and Tony Meola tip their hats to Josh Sargent for earning a spot in the EFL Championship Team of the Season — and dive into what could be next for the Norwich City striker as he eyes a potential move up the ladder. Then, the crew also unpacks Wrexham's incredible rise through the English football pyramid (yes, we know they're Welsh) and what it means for the pro/rel conversation in American soccer. Could a “Wrexham moment” ever happen in the U.S.? Plus, the USMNT Depth Chart series continues with a hard look at the right back position — where options are looking a little thin. And finally, the Vancouver Whitecaps are the story of the MLS season so far. What's behind their turnaround, and will they get past Inter Miami to book a spot in the Concacaf Champions Cup final?
