Listener Questions! What's going on with Berhalter and Gio Reyna, national team blueprints for the USMNT to follow, way-too-early VSPs for 2026, and much much more!
Total Soccer Show: USMNT, Champions League, EPL, and more ...
Taylor is joined by Graham and Joe to answer your many listener questions! But first, they get into the news that broke over the weekend regarding Gio Reyna's World Cup and what reportedly went on behind the scenes. After that, it's on to some solid LQs, including:
1) What are your Way-Too-Early specific predictions for 2026?
2) Which of the final four teams at the 2022 World Cup provides the best blueprint for the US to follow to make a deep run?
3) How do we judge the full 26 player roster for this year's World Cup team? Were there any changes we would have made to the roster if we could go back in time?
4) Do you think the lack of development of US domestic strikers might be a product of how US clubs operate?
5) Is there a coach in the women's game who would be suited for the US men's national team job?
6) Could a country decline an automatic bid for the World Cup if they still wanted to have meaningful qualifying matches?
7) Do we think some players prefer club over country?
