Summary
On the latest edition of Caught Offside with Andrew Gundling and JJ Devaney, the boys discuss the news of Mo Salah and Liverpool deciding to go their separate ways (00:00-25:05). We go in-depth on just how great this guy has been for the club why it all went so wrong so quickly. Then, we go to France where we break down the decision to reportedly appoint Zinedine Zidane as the national team's next coach and we weigh in Kylian Mbappe's knee exam gone wrong (25:05-34:36).
We're also joined by ESPN FC's Jeff Carlisle from Atlanta, Georgia where the USMNT get set for their upcoming friendlies vs Belgium and Portugal (35:00-1:02:19). We'll discuss Gio Reyna's inclusion, the centerback uncertainty, Johnny Cardoso's last chance and more!
