Welcome to Allocation Disorder, Sam Stasco, Paul Tenorio, coming at you from Orlando, Florida, where the U.S. men's national team, Paul just put in a dominant, resounding, cathartic, emotional,

excellent performance that basically puts them in the World Cup.

They beat Panama 5 to 1.

They are not officially qualified because Costa Rica beat El Salvador earlier in the day,

I'm comfortable saying that. I don't know if you are yet or not, but I got to ask,

what's the main headline for you, Paul? Like, this was an awesome, awesome game for the U.S.

Yeah, I mean, I think the main headline is Christian Polisic and his performance in this game

because he basically is the person who is delivering the U.S. men's national team to

Qatar. And, you know, he scored twice on penalty kicks, had a beautiful third goal, just

wonderfully brought down, navigated through two defenders, put it far post. You know, he was very

active. He drew several free kicks two of two times contributed to the goals as well.

Helped set up another as well.

Help set up another goal dropping the pass back.

So I thought he was fantastic.

And if he plays like that, you see what the U.S. is capable of.

And that's what you kind of, that's what you wanted from, from Christian

Paulus. Like, Sam, you wrote about Christian, do you think this could be like the moment that

turns things for him with this national team or is it just a, I don't want to call it like a one
