Show notes
The Mauricio Pochettino era got underway with a 2-0 win over Panama, but Jimmy Conrad, Charlie Davies and Tony Meola unpack the first game of the new USMNT coach’s reign (02:05), his starting XI (06:28) and the second half substitutes (18:45). The guys go line-by-line with their player ratings, hitting on, among other things, Matt Turner’s surprising start, the good and bad of Yunus Musah’s game, and the decision not to play Weston McKennie (23:44). With Pochettino insisting that he’s not married to one philosophy, how will things look different against Mexico (36:28)? And which subs are most likely to start in Guadalajara (44:43)?
