Is this the greatest collection of midfielders that we have ever seen? No.

Gio and Musa are very much on the outside looking in right now.

Very strange for some of these picks.

I am disappointed. I feel the same way today as I did when we did the roster release show

it's due for this summer. I don't think that this roster is going to do anything to allay

fears for those out there that are fearful that this team is not good enough and that this team is going to do anything to allay fears for those out there that are fearful

that this team is not good enough and that this team is not going to do the things that we want

and that is... podcast. We look at the beautiful game on and off the field through the lens of red, white, and blue colored glasses. This show will be talking about, well, one thing and one thing only. And that

is the roster drop, a little instant reaction on this live show. And so don't bore us, get to the

chorus. But first, join me as always my friend, my colleague, my guiding light, David Mossie,

a soccer savant and a Fox Soccer researcher and writer

extraordinaire. Mosse, like I said, we know, we'll talk about what we're watching later on,

but this is going to be a succinct encapsulation of what has just dropped minutes ago,

which is the roster for the U.S. team for this September window. Again, two games, one against South Korea, one against

Japan, and also a reminder to everybody out there. After this window, there are basically four

windows. You're looking at eight, nine games, ultimately, and all friendly games for this

U.S. team before the World Cup kicks off in, what, 289-ish days from now next summer. So not a lot of time. So that's just to put a little context of what we're about to talk to. Mossie, want to go through what we have here? Yes. So Marisa Pochitino has just named 22 players. He's going to add one more. So it will end up being a 23

player squad for, as you mentioned, games against South Korea in Harrison, New Jersey, and Japan

in Columbus, Ohio. Keep in mind, this is an instant reaction pod. The roster just dropped.

Marisa Pocetino will be giving a press conference shortly in which presumably he'll give more context to some of his decisions.

We're going to tape another pod later this week with further reaction.

We'll be able to clean up anything we say that doesn't age well because Pochatino reveals something we didn't know as to why certain players were not selected.
