  • #653: JJ Devaney joins, gives us his sense of Poch's tenure, the coming World Cup
    2025/12/16

    The host of long-running former ESPN podcast Caught Offside joins Vince and Belz to discuss what Poch has been up to, whether it's working, Banner the mascot, and where several players probably stand in the depth chart.

    Look for Caught Offside with Andrew Gundling and JJ Devaney on any podcast platform, and here's there subscription service (kind of like a Patreon, I gather): https://caughtoffside.supercast.com/

  • #652: Poch's media tour & what the World Cup will mean to America with Doug McIntyre
    2025/12/11

    We talk through the quite encouraging events of the first half of the week -- Pulisic's big man on campus brace off the bench, Wes's lovely gamewinner in CL, Balo's gamewinner and Pepi's continued propensity to put the ball in the back of the net. Then we get into Poch's media tour after the World Cup draw a little bit, what will happen if we beat Paraguay in that first game, and the MLS championship game a bit too.

    Germany/Netherlands trip form: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfI4Cp1VpS2eCphsNjf6QHdaRDq86Tf-FeUhJ2tQ0RzkbxQhw/viewform

    If you are interested in seeing some combination of Gio, Scally, Malik and the PSV boys, that's the form. The trip only happens if 10 or so people want to go, so if you have ANY interest, even if it's a distant possibility, let us know.

  • #650: The situation is looking pretty good!
    2025/12/02

    Vince brings back "El Loco" for Poch, but in a good way. Four players who weren't even involved in the last window had a great past week in Europe. Pepi's back in the XI for Eindhoven. The World Cup draw is coming up in four days and we talk through the options. Things are looking good, folks. Although there is some sad news from Thanksgiving dinner.

  • #649: Leander Schaerlaeckens on the state of the USMNT, its chaotic history & miraculous growth since the 1980s
    2025/11/24

    Vince is back. He and Belz welcome Leander to discuss the past window, where things stand with Poch’s project, and the chaotic history of the US Men’s National Team, which is the subject of his forthcoming book.We end up covering the major action from the weekend, including Pulisic’s gamewinner in the Derby della Madonnina, McKennie’s continued energetic & intelligent play for Juve, another shiny little cameo for Gio, Tillman’s goal and “assist” for Leverkusen, and another unconvincing performance (even in a 1-0 win!) for Noahkai Banks.

    Pre-order Leander’s book here: https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/722130/the-long-game-by-leander-schaerlaeckens/

  • #648: USA v Uruguay recap
    2025/11/19

    We wiped out a historically-good national team, coached by Marcelo Bielsa, in Tampa! Greg Velasquez and Belz talk it through. Gio's return, a caution against certainty, a tetchy performance from Poch in the post-game press conference, and, you guessed it, some classic Velasquez wet-blanketism.f

  • #647: Joe Scally joins the pod
    2025/11/17

    Sanjay sits down with Joe at the team hotel in Tampa on Monday afternoon, to discuss his nearly 10,000 Bundesliga minutes of experience, how things have changed under Poch, who from the team he would trust the least to run the family business in Lake Grove, and much more. It's a fast but substantive interview.
