On today’s show, we break down the latest performances from Americans playing in Europe and MLS, including Gio Reyna scoring again for Strasbourg as his impressive run of form continues. We’ll also discuss Milan Iloski’s latest goal for the Philadelphia Union and his climb up the MLS Golden Boot race, along with Christian Pulisic’s recent playing time and whether there’s any reason for concern at AC Milan. With Mauricio Pochettino expected to announce his next USMNT roster in just over two weeks, we’ll look at what we’re hoping to see from the player pool before the November international window. Can Folarin Balogun find his form at Monaco? And with Ricardo Pepi still sidelined, which other strikers - including Julian Hall and Justin Ellis - could make a case for themselves? Plus, we look ahead to a busy week of club soccer, including Americans in Champions League and Europa League action, the Philadelphia Union taking on New England in MLS, and PSV facing Feyenoord in a big Eredivisie matchup.
