Pulisic's Milan drama, Balogun among USMNT roster withdrawals, Conradinho Mailbag Edition (Soccer 10/7)

Jimmy Conrad goes it alone to kick off CIWYW's coverage of the October international break! In Americans Abroad news, Christian Pulisic might have had a hat-trick if not for two of his AC Milan teammates insisting on taking (and missing) penalties (02:33). Mauricio Pochettino was forced to make three changes to his roster with Folarin Balogun, Tim Weah and Johnny Cardoso dropping out with injury (11:40). And Josh Wolff is out at Austin FC (19:55). Jimmy opens the Mailbag to discuss the value of the Supporter's Shield (23:55), the national team's center back pool (28:59), the world's best second division (37:55), and whether Patrick Schulte should seek a move away from the Columbus Crew (42:25). Plus, who is the USMNT greatest ever defender? (50:22) And is the FIFA Club World Cup a bad thing?
