More USMNT v Mexico chat, plus an abbreviated MLS weekend review
Taylor is joined by Joe and David to spend even more time on the USA's 2-0 win over Mexico in the Nations League Final. Gass tries to claim the Number 1 spot in Tyler Adams fandom, and has praise for a few players we were more negative about in our initial reviews. We also focus on standout performers, as well as areas of vulnerability ahead of the Copa America this summer. Plus, we drill deeper into the perceived gap between the USA and Mexico, and try to identify the least error-prone players for the USMNT. And then we close things out in the final segment with an abbreviated looked around MLS, including concerns for Toronto, big performers for RSL and Portland, and impressive wins for LAFC and the Red Bulls.

How good was Gio Reyna and can he please please stay healthy? What went wrong for the US on the Jamaica opener, and why did it take them so long to turn things around? What are the major lessons we learned in this one? Which individuals improved their stock, and which ones hurt their future chances? We get into all of that, and much much more!
