Goal contributions from all over Europe and North America over the weekend, Wes dislocates his shoulder so that needs deciphering, lovely goal from Johnny Soccer, huge goal from Chris Richards, Paxten gets on the scoresheet, Vince changes his tune on Pefok, plus much more with Vince, Watke and Belz.

Lots to be encouraged about! Lots to work on. Twila and the team are putting the ball on the deck and trying to play through the opponent. A good test against a pretty defensively solid Argentina side. Full recap from Greg and Belz.

A soggy night in southern California, hung over by the shadow of Mia Fishel's injury, but Greg and Belz find plenty to be glad about.

Emma Hayes on the meaning of Star Wars, Gold Cup lineup discussion, Cat Macario inching back to full health, Belz stans Lily Yohannes, Sauerbrunn is back after Cook suffers a minor injury, the U17s win the Concacaf tournament, and much more with Tara and Belz.

Greg and Belz convene briefly after the Kilgore press conference on Wednesday. Morgan omitted, what are knock-on effects for selection? Does anything matter until Hayes takes over?

The Real Salt Lake live wire joined the pod to talk about how he improved between 2022 and 2023, his stint moonlighting behind the counter at Dutch Bros, his first cap for the USMNT, the gratitude he still feels for many of the veterans at the El Paso Locomotive, having a newborn son and his ambitions for the future.

Greg categorizes all the USMNT transfers from the now-closed window, special focus on Gio to Forest and Johnny to Betis, then we go down the list and briefly discuss Lindsey Horan's comments to Meg Linehan at the Athletic.

Emma Hayes name-checks a few young USWNT players, Tara, Vince and Belz give their ideal fully-healthy XIs for the U.S. Women's National Team, and we check in on Champions League action, including of course the remarkable case of Lily Yohannes.

The Gio transfer saga, which strikers will get the call in March for Nations League, centerback pool kinda unclear, roster projections.

Tara, Vince and Belz convene to recap a lot of things, including long-awaited returns from injury, Fishel's big goal in the FA Cup, Lily Yohannes and Korbin Albert coming along in Europe, several transfers, the NWSL draft, and several young players to watch in the upcoming season.

The first Monday Review of 2024 with Watke, Vince and Belz. We celebrate the ascendancy of the three Americans in northern Italy, talk over Chris Richards' 8-match run of starts at Crystal Palace and whether he's getting better at playing on the half-tur, Sargent and Dike are back from long injuries and scoring, January Camp is underway. It's the year of Copa America.

Best goal for country, best goal for club, player of the year, breakthrough player of the year, best offseason vacation, uncapped player of the year, best retirement, and much more. Greg, Tara, Vince and Belz talk through a year that was a tunnel, in that it sucked but there was also light at the end of it.
