Jesse Marsch was the only American smiling after his prediction of a 2-1 Canada win over the U.S. came to pass. Jimmy Conrad, Tony Meola and Brian McBride analyze the USMNT’s first performance since the disastrous Copa America campaign (1:30). The guys discuss the team’s struggles to deal with Canada’s press and speculate as to how Mauricio Pochettino might have viewed the game (09:50). Then, the player ratings don’t make for flattering listening for the likes of Tim Ream, Johnny Cardoso or Yunus Musah (18:15). And while the center back pairing is the area of most concern for the crew, the lack of vocal leaders and physicality is another worrying trait for the Stars and Stripes (36:08). A discussion about the changes Mikey Varas should make for Tuesday’s clash against New Zealand (46:55). And finally, another setback for Gio Reyna, and have Mexico found an international break cheat code (50:20)?

Charlie Davies, Tony Meola and Brian McBride take a deep dive into the names being linked with the United States men's national team's head coaching vacancy. But first, we welcome in The Athletic's Felipe Cardenas who was on the ground to witness thousands of ticketless fans storm the Hard Rock Stadium on Sunday ahead of the Copa América final. Is Conmebol solely to blame for the security issues? And can we expect to see similar scenes at the 2026 World Cup? Then, the guys work their way through the potential candidates to become the next USMNT boss beginning with two Spaniards - Luis de la Fuente and Rafa Benitez. What qualities should Matt Crocker be looking for and do the likes of Wilfried Nancy, Xavi, Thomas Tuchel and Joachim Löw fit the bill? Is Max Allegri too pragmatic? Could Mauricio Pochettino, Gareth Southgate or Hervé Renard get the best out of the Stars and Stripes? And does Steve Cherundolo enough experience and buy-in from fans to lead the team?
