Summary
The whole gang is here to answer your questions! You can find the full list we discussed down below.
1) Without World Cup qualifying, should the USMNT focus on learning how to beat the top international teams at the 2026 World Cup?
2) How do big-name club managers tend to do when they take charge of national teams?
3) Why hasn’t Graham Potter been hired as a manager since he was let go by Chelsea?
4) When reviewing a game, do we have access to anything not publicly available for a second watch (different camera angles, various film tools, etc)?
