S. Berhalter

Musa and Ryan focus on this week’s Champions League while shouting out a few other midweek results. They begin with Napoli’s win over Eintracht Frankfurt (10:03), Real Madrid holding off Liverpool (15:08), Manchester City hitting seven and Erling Haaland hitting five past RB Leipzig (22:02) and a wild final seven minutes in Porto that Inter survived. They then touch on the U.S. Soccer report that was released this week in the Reyna and Berhalter saga (35:13).

Greg and Belz got a pretty detailed look into Canada's tactical approach from a couple of private video presentations conducted by John Herdman, which were leaked to us. We talk through those and try to relate them to the USMNT, and then talk through Gregg Berhalter's latest interview with Bobby Warshaw for U.S. Soccer's house podcast.

Canada close in on Qatar; Whitecaps and CPL news of the week

Taylor Rockwell and Joe Lowery of the Total Soccer Show join Greg and Belz to discuss Berhalter’s regret about the Panama lineup, the US men’s midfield, how to play away Concacaf qualifiers, midfield analytics versus goalkeeping analytics, the US men’s midfield, one word to describe Berhalter’s tenure, our own histories with the game, the golden generation vs the endless generation debate, and of course, the US men’s midfield.

Alexi and Mosse open the show with a look at Arsene Wenger’s proposed changes to the World Cup schedule and answer if having a World Cup every two years would be a good idea (06:36). Then the guys recap the USMNT’s World Cup Qualifying games, discuss Berhalter’s performance, and look at Ricardo Pepi’s impact on the team (31;30). We also take a look at Ronaldo’s return to Manchester United, follow the biggest news stories in Europe’s top 5 leagues, and go over this week’s Champion’s League group stage matches (51:40). Alexi answers questions from fans about the USMNT, the USWNT, and answers what it’s like to be a youth soccer leagues referee in #AskAlexi (1:06:00). Finally, Alexi ends the show by reflecting on the 20th anniversary of 9/11 (1:20:20). Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Berhalter called up 26 players for the first three World Cup qualifiers of the 2022 cycle. The time has come! We discuss the selections (mostly pleased) and spend quite a bit of time trying to figure out how to rotate for three games in seven days. There will be lots of tough choices and on-the-fly conundrums but from the comfort of our desks in Middle America we have sketched out some possibilities.

Who is Berhalter likely to select, who could be his cute selection, and who do we wish he'd select that he probably won't. The overlap between Berhalter's choices and ours is much heavier than it was in the past, because, as Greg puts it, the pool is increasingly "cute-proof."
