Summary

Rog and Clint Dempsey look back on a defining year for the USMNT. From early chaos and crushing exits to Mauricio Pochettino’s culture change and surge of optimism. Dempsey dives into emerging stars, Christian Pulisic’s career defining form at AC Milan, and the mentality shift required to make a run in the 2026 World Cup. Plus, Clint explains why getting out of the group is the floor, and inspiring the nation is the true goal.
