Jimmy Conrad, Charlie Davies and Tony Meola discuss how Australia and Paraguay reacted to the World Cup draw and Mike Grella's disparaging comments, and whether Team USA fared better than fellow co-hosts Mexico and Canada. Mauricio Pochettino has to whittle down his player pool, and Tyler Adams sets a lofty benchmark for the Stars and Stripes. A flu-stricken Christian Pulisic saves the day for AC Milan, but can he parlay his club form into an iconic World Cup performance? The Athletic's Paul Tenorio joins to talk about FIFA's water breaks as well as Inter Miami clinching the MLS Cup. What are the next steps for the Herons and the rest of the league? And Lionel Messi follows in Tony's footsteps by scooping the MLS MVP Award!
