Jimmy Conrad, Charlie Davies, and Marcelo Balboa are back to unpack a jam-packed weekend on both sides of the Atlantic. After missing the USMNT's November friendlies, Christian Pulisic returned in style, delivering the winning goal in the Milan derby (07:31). The guys debate a big question facing Mauricio Pochettino: Who's the ideal partner for Pulisic in a dual No. 10 setup: Gio Reyna or Malik Tillman (10:15)? The crew digs into the coaching carousel. With Wilfried Nancy emerging as a leading candidate for the Celtic job, can he translate his success with Columbus Crew to one of Europe's most pressure-packed environments (23:55)? And does LAFC have the right succession for life after Steve Cherundolo (29:17)? The guys tip their cap to USL champions Pittsburgh Riverhounds (44:55). Then it's on to the MLS Cup Playoffs: after gutsy semifinal performances from San Diego, Vancouver, and NYCFC, the question remains: can anyone stop Lionel Messi and Inter Miami (48:11)?

Jimmy Conrad, Charlie Davies, and Tony Meola close out the international break by ranking every player from the USMNT's October roster based on their chances of making Mauricio Pochettino's World Cup squad (07:42). The guys play a round of “In or Out” to decide which roster omissions could reappear next summer (20:20). Was playing in Commerce City a mistake (27:57)? And with Christian Pulisic picking up an injury on U.S. duty, do AC Milan have a right to be frustrated with the decision to start him against Australia (34:35)? The crew also breaks down Poch's “perfect player” praise for Cristian Roldan and why the Seattle Sounders midfielder remains such a divisive figure among USMNT fans (43:22). Plus, should Chris Richards be the team's next captain (56:20)? The guys wrap up with a look ahead to MLS Decision Day (1:03:40).

Jimmy Conrad, Charlie Davies, and Tony Meola break down the USMNT's spirited 2-1 comeback win over Australia, a feel-good finish to the October window. Haji Wright and Cristian Roldan combined for both U.S. goals, staking serious claims for World Cup roster spots, while Chris Richards continues to earn high praise for his steady form in defense. The guys also discuss the impact of Christian Pulisic's first-half injury and whether starting the Milan star was a calculated risk. The crew then zooms out to reflect on the broader takeaways from the window. Is the three-back setup here to stay? Which positions remain unsettled as the World Cup race heats up? And who gained or lost the most ground in the fight for a roster spot? Finally, Jimmy, Charlie, and Tony revisit Mauricio Pochettino's role at the helm - has this window changed how they view the USMNT boss and the tactical direction he's setting for the team?

Jimmy Conrad and Charlie Davies preview the USMNT's friendly against Australia, but get things started by reacting to the U.S. crashing out of the U-20 World Cup following a 3-1 defeat to Morocco. What went wrong, and why can't the Stars and Stripes get past the quarterfinals? Then, the guys dive into Mauricio Pochettino's culture crusade, assess Australia's 12-game unbeaten streak, debate lineup options, and make the case for Folarin Balogun starting up top, with a look at whether Weston McKennie should play in a deeper midfield role.
