    Jun 15 2025

    In this episode of the Designated Players Podcast, the guys are back and this week we're unfortunately talking about USMNT! We're going to discuss the recent, and very disappointing, friendlies against Turkey and Switzerland. We discuss where the team goes from here, who's stock up and stock down, and whether Poch is the right man for the job. Then we quickly discuss the Gold Cup and what it would mean to win, as well as giving what lineup we'd like to see starting against Trinidad and Tobago. Lastly we talk a bit about the Christian Pulisic drama and what it means for the USMNT with only a year away from the world cup. Let us know your thoughts!
