USMNT Alarm Bells: Richards & Aaronson Hurt (Soccer 5/19)
It's concerning news to start the show as Jimmy Conrad, Charlie Davies, and Tony Meola react to Chris Richards' poorly-timed ankle sprain and what it could mean for the USMNT's backline heading into the World Cup (05:29). Does Mauricio Pochettino commit to a back three no matter what? And should fans be worried about Brenden Aaronson's fitness with 24 days to go until the Paraguay match (18:54)? With Pep Guardiola reportedly leaving Manchester City at the end of the season, should US Soccer consider hiring him ahead of the next World Cup cycle (25:53)? The guys take stock of how American players performed in the 2025/26 Bundesliga season (43:31). And there's a lively debate on whether Gio Reyna should or shouldn't make the 26-man roster (50:01)!
