  • New Clubs, New Roles: How Every USMNT Transfer Fits
    2025/07/31

    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.

  • Where Do We Go From Here? USMNT Lose Gold Cup Final to Mexico
    2025/07/07

    The USMNT fell short in the Gold Cup Final, losing to Mexico in a match that exposed deep, lingering issues. The team looked tired, directionless, and lacking any clear tactical identity when it mattered most.


    Is this the result of Mauricio Pochettino’s system breaking down? Or are the players simply not up to the task? As questions swirl about leadership, identity, and what's next for this group, we dive into the final, the flaws, and the uncertain road ahead.


    Where do we go from here? Let’s break it all down.

  • 1 Step Forward, 2 Steps Back: USMNT vs. Guatemala Breakdown | Gold Cup
    2025/07/03

    Mauricio Pochettino’s USMNT lost all sense of tactical identity in the Gold Cup semifinal vs. Guatemala. Despite facing an inferior opponent, the U.S. barely scraped through—and it could’ve been a disaster.


    Diego Luna’s individual brilliance and another standout performance from Malik Tillman saved the day, but serious questions remain. Can Pochettino return to what was working ahead of the final?


    In this post-match breakdown, I dive into what went wrong, what saved the U.S., and what must change to lift the trophy.

  • Over‑Coaching Almost Costs USMNT vs. Costa Rica | Gold Cup Tactical Breakdown
    2025/06/30

    Mauricio Pochettino nearly overthought this one. In a chaotic first half against Costa Rica, the USMNT looked lost as Poch made major tactical adjustments that completely disrupted the team's rhythm. But just when things were unraveling, the team snapped back into form.


    Malik Tillman took over in the second half, reverting to the familiar system that had been working all tournament—and delivered another tournament-defining performance. Matt Freese came up huge in goal, and Damion Downs’ glory penalty kept the U.S. alive.


    I break down what went wrong, how it got fixed, and why the USMNT walked away still alive in the Gold Cup. Guatemala up next.

  • A Tactical Identity Emerges: USMNT vs. Haiti Breakdown | Gold Cup
    2025/06/23

    Mauricio Pochettino's tactical vision is finally coming to life for the USMNT, and it's showing on the pitch. In this Gold Cup breakdown of the win vs. Haiti, I analyze how the team is starting to gel with a clearer identity and sharper structure.


    Malik Tillman continues to shine as the best player in the tournament, dominating the midfield and leading the attack. John Tolkin delivers a standout performance that could see him leapfrog Max Arfsten in the pecking order. And while Patrick Agyemang netted the game-winner, questions remain—does one moment of brilliance make up for an otherwise rough outing?


    I break it all down: the tactics, the turning points, and the players rising (and slipping) in the USMNT ranks.
