Manchester United’s offer to Mauricio Pochettino leaves U.S. Soccer searching for a replacement. Recording the day the news broke, David Gass and Matt Doyle sort the realistic names from the unrealistic ones, from Antonio Conte to Emma Hayes. Then Gass interviews Heather Dyche, head coach of the U.S. U-23 Women’s Team, on how her group readies players for the USWNT.



Her segment also talks about Kate Del Fava’s leap from overage pick into the USWNT and FIFA’s floated age limit for the Olympic tournament. The Subs Bench gets into Gio Reyna’s injury and the reported U.S. pullout from the U-17 World Cup over security concerns.

In its first-ever postseason, what did Utah, a No. 7 seed, have that San Diego didn’t? David Gass and Jordan Angeli break down how each quarterfinal was won and lost and what it sets up, then try to fit a crowded Best XI as the award nominees arrive.

Along the way, they dig into Trinity Rodman and Clara Luvanga’s press and why Washington enters the semifinals as a heavy favorite. They discuss whether Kansas City’s extra-time penalty was deserved and why Gotham’s semifinal is moving to a 5,000-seat stadium. For the eliminated teams, the talk turns to Sophia Wilson’s free agency and Jess Fishlock’s retirement.

Could the U.S. game get bigger without giving up its local, tribal fan culture? Rodger Sherman, the ex-Ringer writer who now runs his own sports newsletter, tells his old SB Nation colleague Susannah Fuller where he stands.

Along the way, he talks about tracking down the slowest athletes from small countries at the Rio Olympics. He calls the 48-team World Cup a money grab, even though it brought in his favorite story of the summer, Cape Verde. And he weighs the USMNT’s missed chance against Belgium, covering a USWNT expected to win and Nashville SC’s rise.

Mauricio Pochettino’s USMNT squad for the quarterfinal against Haiti comes early in a new cycle, with real competition for places. David Gass, Matt Doyle and Brian Dunseth go through the group position by position: the thinking behind the key call-ups, how the pieces fit, and what the absences say about where the team is headed.


The attack discussion centers on Christian Pulisic, Folarin Balogun, Cavan Sullivan and Gio Reyna. Reed Baker-Whiting’s selection from Nashville shows Pochettino’s watching MLS and puts him in the left-back picture. The right back, midfield and goalkeeper pecking order follows, plus Malik Tillman’s best role. Then a Subs Bench on the snubs, USWNT prospects, the U.S.-Mexico fight for dual-eligible teams and the mailbag.

Half of the MLS Western Conference playoff bubble is about to see their postseason dreams burst, and those already out have plenty to answer for. David Gass, Matt Doyle and Tom Bogert size up who’s best set for the final weekend. Then they dig into what sank each eliminated side and what has to change this offseason.

The Timbers jumped from 11th to eighth in a single weekend. Are they getting hot at the right time, or is it proof that nobody else in this scramble is any good? With Decision Day next, Gass, Tom and Doyle hash I all out across both conferences, from the bubble to the clubs already planning for next year.

Out East, Nashville SC rallied from two down against Red Bull New York and look like the favorites even with Inter Miami lurking. Charlotte FC’s ceiling may hinge on whether Allan Saint-Maximin’s red card will cost him more games. The Columbus Crew are surging, while NYCFC, Toronto FC and the Red Bulls are done.

Back in Columbus after two years with Bournemouth’s multi-club owners, Tim Bezbatchenko knows where MLS already holds its own against European clubs, and where it doesn’t. Gass, Tom and Doyle ask him how the league’s roster rules should change, and he takes them inside the room where the Crew set the budget for a star signing.

Now overseeing the Columbus Crew and the city’s new NWSL team, he weighs promotion and relegation and whether more spending leaves a pathway for homegrown and college prospects. He also covers their new NWSL training ground, how much the sport has changed since he watched the Crew as a teenager, and what would make MLS the first choice for players.

Jen Beattie was diagnosed with breast cancer on a Thursday and scored for Arsenal that weekend. She and host Susannah Fuller, both survivors, talk about how little she knew going in, early detection, and what she would tell someone newly diagnosed.

Beattie, a former Scotland international and now CBS analyst, remembers being diagnosed alone in Covid, then the lumpectomy and radio therapy that followed. Between two women in a club neither chose to join, the talks turns to whether the survivor label firsts and whether the fear around follow-up scans ever fades.

October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and early detection is the message both women come back to. Jen partners with Breast Cancer now and Novartis UK on self-checks and getting to know your body, and you can find them on Instagram.
