Which league has the best Best XI of the last 25 years, when do lineups lock prior to kickoff, and more!| Listener Questions Jan 17, 2026

Show notes

This week, we're debating the best tactical setup for the USMNT: a double-10 system with Brenden Aaronson and Weston McKennie, or a two-striker look featuring Christian Pulisic and Folarin Balogun? We also settle a big-picture argument about which of Europe’s top four leagues can claim the strongest best XI of the past 25 years, dive into the actual rules around when and how managers can change a starting lineup after it’s been announced, and imagine a time-travel World Cup where teams bring one legend back in their prime. Plus, we finish by designing the ultimate goofy soccer TV show or podcast, starring some of the sport’s most entertaining personalities.
