Full Episode
When the Gold Cup ends, Mauricio Pochettino will not know. I'm going on record as fact. He will not know what his best team is made of in the most difficult moments. No, I have no clue. Let me say that again. He will not know what his best team has in the most difficult moments. Think about that for a second.

My guy, LD. How are you, bud? Timmy, welcome back. Thank you.
You had a long weekend, huh?
I'm fresh as a daisy. I was doing doggies over the Atlantic, back and forth to England. Yeah, I was in Liverpool this weekend at Anfield to cover the trophy lift. I saw a bunch of friends from Manchester that... I went out to dinner, got a workout in, just hung with my boys, had some coffee. So it's great. It's always great to get back over and see friends and do some work.
So back in New York, bro, how was your weekend?
I always say this, holidays, summer is the worst. So Memorial Day is the worst. Three days in a row, my one son had a tournament. Soccer tournament an hour away. And then they, of course, the time's like 8.30 in the morning and their second game's at 5.30 p.m. So you're going to sit in Temecula for seven hours with nothing to do. So my wife took them one day. I took them the other day.
She took them yesterday, which means the other one is with our other two kids at home. It's a disaster.
You're miserable. This episode is not about American youth soccer because that's a book that we're going to write because that's horrific.
