Jimmy Conrad, Charlie Davies, and Tony Meola break down the USMNT's 1-1 draw against Ecuador in Austin, where Folarin Balogun's late equalizer capped off a performance that surely cements him as Mauricio Pochettino's No. 9. Malik Tillman made an instant impact off the bench, and the guys argue this might've been the best the team has looked under Poch, even with several big names missing. With midfield competition heating up, could Weston McKennie be in danger of losing his spot ahead of 2026? Or is Tim Weah the one feeling the squeeze? Meanwhile, veteran Tim Ream continues to make his case as indispensable at the back. Plus, The Athletic's Paul Tenorio joins live from Austin to unpack Pochettino's postgame remarks and what they reveal about where this USMNT project is headed next.
