USMNT fall 2-1 to Türkiye - Pochettino loses third straight game | Instant Recap & Reaction | CIWYW(Soccer 6/7) Jun 08, 2025

Show notes

The USMNT took an early lead against Türkiye but fell 2-1 in their third straight loss under Mauricio Pochettino - the team's worst streak since 2015. Jimmy Conrad and Tony Meola breakdown the good and the bad from a game where costly turnovers proved too much to overcome. The new-look lineup started strong (6:00), Johnny Cardoso's mistake leads to collapse (10:04), and Tony claps back at "riff raff" comment (16:01). The guys evaluate the performances line-by-line (24:28), and cast their gaze forward to Tuesday's game against Switzerland (55:11).

Americans lift trophies in Europe, USMNT drops Gold Cup preliminary roster, Sweet 16 time in U.S. Open Cup! (Soccer 5/20) May 20, 2025

Show notes

Tony Meola and Benny Feilhaber take the reins of the show - and there’s plenty to talk about. The USMNT drops its 60-man preliminary Gold Cup roster, and once again there's no Gio Reyna (04:23).

Meanwhile, it was a silverware-stacked weekend for Americans abroad: Chris Richards and Matt Turner made FA Cup history at Wembley, four Yanks helped PSV lift the Eredivisie title, and Damion Downs sealed promotion and a 2. Bundesliga championship (27:06). On the flip side, AC Milan miss out on Europe - could that actually benefit Christian Pulisic (34:50)?

Plus, a U.S. Open Cup Round of 16 preview (48:17) - can the Pittsburgh Riverhounds play giant-killer again? - and a head-scratcher from LA Galaxy - why announce Greg Vanney’s contract extension now (55:20)?
