On the eve of Copa América last summer, former U.S. Men's National Team midfielder Stu Holden came by the show to preview a competition that he would soon crisscross the country covering for FOX Sports.The tournament did not go well for the USA, and then-head coach Gregg Berhalter lost his job on the back of it. But it was also a great opportunity to take stock of the young Americans plying their trade for some of Europe's biggest clubs: Christian Pulisic, Weston McKennie, Tim Weah, Gio Reyna, Antonee Robinson, Chris Richards and more.Holden spoke on the biases that American footballers have faced in Europe and his own pride in challenging those perceptions as a Premier League player with Bolton Wanderers a generation ago. But he also threw down a challenge to the high-flyers of the present, and a year later, his takes on many of the Americans abroad look rock-solid.Pulisic continued to thrive at AC Milan last season, Richards and Robinson went from strength to strength in England, and Reyna — among others — never cleared Holden's bar to become a key asset for his employer. (In fact, Reyna's time at Borussia Dortmund appears to be over.) As Holden put it, these guys need to do more than just be at these clubs if the USMNT is to do something major next summer at the 2026 World Cup.Get more Classic moments from The Football Weekend:"Go, Go USA!"

The U.S. Men's National Team came up short in the 2025 Gold Cup Final, falling 2-1 to Mexico in a hard-fought battle. The match was decided once again by intensity, momentum swings, and set pieces. Chris Richards gave the U.S. a dream start with an early header, but Raul Jimenez pulled Mexico level before halftime. A controversial handball in the second half kept the drama high, and after a lengthy VAR check, Edson Álvarez delivered the decisive blow.Stu Holden and Maurice Edu joined the show to break down the performance and examine what this tournament revealed about the team's evolving identity. They discuss who stepped up, who has real 2026 World Cup potential, and who is still on the bubble. With just a handful of windows remaining before World Cup camp begins, the clock is ticking, and the path forward is coming into focus.

Chris Richards' towering header sealed a 1-0 win over Saudi Arabia to send the USMNT through to the Gold Cup knockouts. Jimmy Conrad, Charlie Davies, and Tony Meola break down the highs and lows from the narrow victory over the Green Falcons. The first half lacked attacking threat, but a more assured second-half display - with standout performances from Tyler Adams and Sebastian Berhalter in midfield - proved enough. Mauricio Pochettino rolled with the same starting XI for a second straight game, but with the knockouts looming and Haji Wright nursing an injury, will he tweak the setup going forward? Could a two-striker system be on the cards? The guys also preview Sunday's group stage finale, where the U.S. take on Haiti looking to wrap things up with a perfect nine points.

On the latest State of the Union episode, we highlight the FA Cup triumph for Crystal Palace, who ended a 119-year drought with a 1-0 win over Manchester City. Chris Richards played a starring role, becoming—along with Matt Turner—the first USMNT player to win the FA Cup since Tim Howard in 2004. In the Netherlands, Malik Tillman capped PSV's 3-1 win over Sparta Rotterdam, completing a remarkable Eredivisie turnaround where Ajax went from nine points up to one point behind. In Italy, Juventus took a step toward Champions League qualification as Weston McKennie and Tim Weah featured in a 2-0 win. Roma beat AC Milan 3-1 despite an assist from Pulisic. Meanwhile, Inter and Napoli drew, pushing the Serie A title race to the final day. In Germany, Gio Reyna's late appearance in Dortmund's 3-0 win sealed a UCL spot, though his emotional reaction hinted at a possible farewell. Where would you like Reyna to land next season? In La Liga, Lamine Yamal dazzled again, scoring his 17th goal in all competitions. Is he truly the best player in the world? MLS Rivalry Week saw intense matchups: Reus saved LA Galaxy with a free-kick, while Inter Miami's form collapsed in a 3-0 loss to Orlando. We closed the pid with a breakdown of the U.S. Gold Cup 60-man prelim roster, headlined by Pulisic, Balogun, and Tyler Adams, with debates on sleeper picks like Sebastian Berhalter.

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).

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)?
