Release Date:

Jimmy Conrad and Brian McBride react to Mauricio Pochettino's first public appearance since being unveiled as the new USMNT head coach (02:15). With the door apparently open to every player, should Poch call up the reigning MLS MVP and soon to be U.S. citizen Luciano Acosta? (09:24) Guillem Balague, the author of “Brave New World: Inside Pochettino’s Spurs,” joins to share some insights into the former Tottenham and Chelsea manager’s relationship with Emma Hayes, his players, and the coaching staff that has followed him wherever he’s gone (21:11). Will Poch have enough time before the World Cup to implement his style of play? (45:57) And how big of a bonus should he get if the team goes all the way in 2026? (52:41) And CBS Sports' Pardeep Cattry joins to talk about sights and sounds from Poch’s first press conference (1:01:46)!
