That was rough. The USMNT got hit hard in a 5-2 loss to Belgium, and we went live immediately after the final whistle to make sense of it all. Is this the kind of loss that forces growth—or proof that this team just isn't ready yet? We break down Mauricio Pochettino's tactics, decisions, and whether he got it completely wrong on the night. Then, USMNT legend Marcelo Balboa joins us to offer real insight into what failed on the pitch and what the team must fix before it's too late. Belgium came to play, and one name stood above the rest: Dodi Lukebakio. With two goals and a dominant performance, he earns our Player of the Game honors. Meanwhile, we take a hard look at Pochettino's lineup choices, substitutions, and overall game management. Were the players set up to fail, or did individuals simply not rise to the occasion? We hand out grades and don't hold back. As always, the chat had plenty to say—and we bring the best (and wildest) fan reactions into the show. From frustration to full-on panic, the USMNT discourse is heating up. We wrap things up by turning the page to what's next: a massive test against Portugal. What needs to change, and can the U.S. bounce back? We've got you covered.

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)?
