No Pepi, No Pulisic, No Party? | Mexico vs. USMNT preview & predictions (Soccer 10/14)

The word “friendly” goes out the window whenever the USMNT face Mexico. Jimmy Conrad, Charlie Davies and Tony Meola look ahead to Tuesday’s clash in Guadalajara beginning with the news that five of Mauricio Pochettino’s players have departed camp (04:25). The guys hit on Yunus Musah’s foray into right midfield and the pool of available No. 10s (12:19). Then, what does the Mexico-USA rivalry signify in 2024 (23:28)? And what explains the drop-off in quality from the El Tri of yesteryear to the teams of the present day (28:40)? The crew discuss the projected starting XIs (39:12) and whether Josh Sargent should get the nod despite his long-standing goal drought on the international stage (43:27). And keeping with tradition, the guys round off the preview with their score predictions (49:41).
