    The World Cup Is Over... Now What? | Pochettino, MLS & the Road to 2030 (Soccer 7/21)

    Jimmy Conrad, Charlie Davies, and Tony Meola reflect on the 2026 World Cup. What (if anything) can US Soccer learn from Spain's success? And how much did the tournament move the soccer needle stateside? With USMNT fans waiting to learn whether Mauricio Pochettino will stay on for another cycle, the crew debates whether the Argentine is the right man to lead the program forward. And, if not, how long U.S. Soccer should take to find his successor. Then, The Athletic's Paul Tenorio joins the show to discuss MLS' efforts to capitalize on the 48-team World Cup, Don Garber's legacy as league commissioner, and the two leading candidates to replace him.
