The USMNT DOMINATED Ecuador, although only came away with a draw. In what was Mauricio Pochettino's most impressive match in charge of the United States, our players controlled the game with confidence. The combination of Folarin Balogun, Malik Tillman, and Tanner Tessmann led the the line in a battle of control, patience, and footballing IQ.

Gio Reyna made his long-awaited Borussia Mönchengladbach debut, and it showed exactly why the USMNT need him at the 2026 World Cup. In this video, I break down Reyna’s performance in detail, focusing on his decision-making, his “pass first, dribble second” style of play, and how he can continue to develop throughout the season.

Alongside Reyna’s debut, I also give a full American's Abroad update, including Tim Weah scoring at the Santiago Bernabéu against Real Madrid, Ricardo Pepi scoring a brace, and the latest performances from USMNT's stars making an impact across Europe.

The USMNT finally showed real progress in a convincing 2-0 win over Japan. Mauricio Pochettino adjusted the formation but stayed true to his tactical identity, and for the first time his ideas truly came to life. The team looked sharper in possession, more organized without the ball, and far more comfortable with roles that suited the players on the field.

In this breakdown, we look at how the formation shift unlocked the squad’s potential, why the balance finally felt right, and what this performance means moving forward. After weeks of frustration, the USMNT produced a display that felt like a genuine step in the right direction.

Mauricio Pochettino’s odd selections and misprofiling of his own players came back to haunt the USMNT in a brutal 2-0 loss to South Korea. From square pegs in round holes to baffling tactical choices, this was a display that exposed just how badly the manager misunderstood his squad. South Korea had no trouble exploiting the weaknesses, and the result was an embarrassing defeat that raised serious questions about Pochettino’s future in charge. In this breakdown, we dive into why the lineup never made sense, how the game unraveled, and what this performance reveals about the disconnect between the players and the system.

Mauricio Pochettino has made some bizarre choices for the September USMNT roster, including a surprising number of MLS players that few expected to see at this stage of World Cup prep.

We also dive into Christian Pulisic and Pochettino reportedly putting their past beef behind them, and what that means for the team moving forward.

Plus, why Josh Sargent absolutely needs to score in these friendlies if he wants any chance of making the World Cup roster. Injuries and transfers continue to shake things up, leaving key names like Gio Reyna, Tanner Tessmann, Johnny Cardoso, and Weston McKennie at home.

From Reyna to Balogun, Pulisic to Tillman — I’m breaking down all the biggest USMNT transfer moves this summer, including the ones that have already happened and the ones that still might. But this isn’t just a transfer roundup — I’m diving into the tactics, systems, and coaches behind every move to explain how these guys actually fit.

Gio Reyna looks set for a fresh start in a 3-4-2-1 setup where he can thrive under young manager, Carlos Cuesta. Malik Tillman is lined up for success in Erik ten Hag's double 10 role , drifting between the lines and influencing the game in the final third. Johnny Cardoso just joined Atlético Madrid — but will he play more like De Paul or Barrios?

We’ll also talk Pulisic’s evolving role at Milan, Pepi being the focal point at PSV, why Balogun needs to get out of Monaco, and what a move to De Zerbi’s Marseille could look like for Tim Weah.

Also in the mix:

— Sargent turning down a Bundesliga return

— Musah drawing serious interest across Europe

— Luna, Downs, Agyemang, and a ton of potential under-the-radar moves you should keep an eye on

Whether you’re tracking every USMNT move this summer or want to understand where these guys actually fit, this video’s for you.
