The USMNT's Gold Cup roster is here, and it's stirring plenty of debate. Notable absences include stars Christian Pulisic, Yunus Musah, and Jedi Robinson. Head coach Mauricio Pochettino confirmed Pulisic will rest, while Musah withdrew for personal reasons. Josh Sargent? Simply left out due to tactical preference. The spotlight this summer turns to fresh faces, with five players—Alex Freeman, Damion Downs, Sebastian Berhalter, Quinn Sullivan, and Matt Freese—set to make their senior debuts. While familiar names like Tyler Adams and Folarin Balogun anchor the team, breakout potential lies in players like Diego Luna, Brian White, and Sebastian Berhalter, who could become national team regulars with strong showings. The big question: does this roster still scream “Gold Cup Title or Bust”? Off the field, the timing matters. This summer was supposed to build momentum—think trophy lifts and confetti—heading into the 2026 FIFA Men's World Cup on home soil. Instead, we're left wondering who will lead this group. Tim Ream? Tyler Adams? With upcoming games vs. Türkiye and Switzerland before the group stage kicks off, it's time for new heroes to emerge.

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?

Plus, Rob Butler and Chris Reeve reflect on Josh Sargent's late heroics
It was pretty, but it was effective for Norwich City as they beat West Brom 1-0 at Carrow Road. More magic from Josh Sargent was enough to secure three precious points for Johannes Hoff Thorup's side to keep their extremely faint play-off hopes alive with seven games to play. Join Connor Southwell and the usual gang of Paddy Davitt, Sam Seaman and Adam Harvey to reflect on 20 seconds of magic that followed 92 minutes of dross in NR1. *** With thanks to our podcast sponsor - First Bus. ** Picture: Paul Chesterton/Focus Images Ltd *** You can also hear the Pink Un Podcast on Norwich's Community radio station, Future Radio 107.8FM. *** To get in touch with the podcast now and in future, send any comments and questions into the crew with an email to norfolksport@archant.co.uk or get in touch with us @pinkun on Twitter, where our direct messages are open.

ROUND THE WORLD: postmortem of USMNT's nightmarish international break featuring lifeless losses to Panama (0-1) and Canada (1-2), featuring who is to blame and what needs to change HALFTIME: What If we had Dest and Jedi available this window... and Josh Sargent's turn in Compliment Corner MLS HIT-IT-N-QUIT-IT MINUTE PREMIER LEAGUE: FA Cup quarterfinals preview STOPPAGE TIME: Ivan Toney's Best Bets and GOAWs
Alexi Lalas, David Mosse, Stu Holden and John Strong recap the U.S. Men's National Team's shocking 1-0 loss to Panama. Josh Sargent found the back of the net in the first half, but it was disallowed due to Tim Weah's offside position. Panama's Cecilio Waterman scored the winner at the death to advance to the CONCACAF Nations League Finals. Panama's squad has now eliminated the USMNT in a number of major tournaments including the 2024 Copa America and 2023 CONCACAF Gold Cup.

Welcome in for another edition of the Morning Espresso from the SDH Network, brought to you by Oglethorpe University, Atlanta's premier undergraduate learning experience and soccer powerhouse.The Concacaf Nations League semifinals will be played tonight as the USMNT hosts Panama at 7pm followed by Canada vs. Mexico at 10:30pm, you can watch both on Paramount+. Excited to see a fully healthy Tyler Adams working under Mauricio Pochettino, curious to see if Josh Sargent can be the player for the USMNT that he's been at Norwich, and I want to see if Weston McKennie's desired "nastiness" comes out tonight in the team. With meaningful games few and far between for the USMNT between now and the World Cup opener next June, this is an important test for Pochettino and the team. Lots of eyes on Jesse Marsch and Canada as well against a Mexico side that has not been impressive for a little while now. Japan booked their spot in the 2026 World Cup this morning with a 2-0 win over Bahrain. Takefusa Kubo scored a goal and assisted on the opener. They are the first to achieve qualification, joining the hosts for next summer's tournament. Australia moved a step closer with a 5-1 win over Indonesia this morning as well.4 upsets in the Lamar Hunt US Open Cup last night as El Farolito, Little Rock Rangers, and Virginia Dream knocked off pro teams to advance. The Des Moines Menace, stacked with former pros, also won although it's hard to put it in the same group as the other amateur teams. Sacha Kljestan scored twice as the Menace defeated Sporting Kansas City II. One element of the USL promotion and relegation announcement yesterday that came out after the fact is that it is contingent on the first division professional league launching. Paul McDonough feels that it wouldn't be as "authentic" if it just includes the current USL Championship and USL League One setup. According to the USSF Pro League Standard, they'll need 12 teams in 3 time zones and in stadiums of at least 15,000 seats to start a first division professional league. I'm just hoping that the plans are more concerned with long-term sustainability than short-term buzz. A new 7v7 event is launching internationally for women's teams called the World Sevens Football. The idea is for it be like grand slam events throughout the year and with a $5 million purse for each event. The first is set for May in Portugal and will include top women's professional clubs. Will it include current women's professional players? UEFA Nations League quarterfinals today, Italy will be shorthanded against Germany at Mateo Retegui is out with a thigh injury.

Josh Sargent keeps scoring on Saturdays so the On The Ball podcast is forced to keep saying nice things about him. This week it was his brace that helped see off Stoke City at Carrow Road, in a 4-2 win that keeps the Canaries in the play-off chase. But is all this not getting injured and playing football going to entice other clubs? Steve Sanders, Dan Brigham and Zoe Morgan debate the Sargent ratio, pile the praise on our young full-backs (but are less complimentary about Stoke), and ask how many laws of physics Oscar Schwartau defied to put that chance over the bar. Plus, birthday cakes with faces on them, how much respect should you show Lungi, goose noises, injured pigeons, more accidental shade thrown on the farming community, and the star-studded line-up at Pete Dye's 60th bash.

Norwich City responded to a disappointing few games with a comprehensive 4-2 victory over Stoke at Carrow Road.

The Yanks Abroad duo breaks down his recent performances, the injury crisis that has led to Josh Sargent being the only #9 left, and what the USMNT squad will look like for the CONCACAF Nations League Semifinals and Finals.
A stalemate against Hull is the latest in a disappointing week for Norwich City - but is your glass half full or empty? Josh Sargent's equaliser, helped by a squirrel, means Norwich have taken just two points from a possible nine against sides who are 15th or below. That has posed questions about their progress. Host Connor Southwell and Paddy Davitt dissect the draw on Humberside and debate where they feel City's project currently finds itself. *** With thanks to our podcast sponsor - First Bus. ** Picture: Paul Chesterton/Focus Images Ltd *** You can also hear the Pink Un Podcast on Norwich's Community radio station, Future Radio 107.8FM. *** To get in touch with the podcast now and in future, send any comments and questions into the crew with an email to norfolksport@archant.co.uk or get in touch with us @pinkun on Twitter, where our direct messages are open.
