Jedi lights up Anfield, Balogun out for four months, USMNT center back panic meter (Soccer 12/16)

Jimmy Conrad, Charlie Davies, and Tony Meola are joined by CBS Sports' James Benge to break down Antonee Robinson's MOTM performance at Anfield (2:08). Is the Fulham left back world-class (08:02)? With his stock rising, is Liverpool the logical next move (12:53)? And is Jedi even better than Christian Pulisic (18:01)? Then, the crew dive into Folarin Balogun’s injury and what his four-month absence means for the USMNT striker (28:05). They also take a temperature check on the USMNT center back pool and debate the point of the January camp (37:25). Finally, the guys run the Trigger Who You Want gauntlet (49:20): Should Gio Reyna be an automatic starter? Is Pulisic too good for AC Milan? Is Chucky Lozano the right move for San Diego FC? And has Charlie finally flipped on Jonathan David? 🗳️🫡 Support the show by voting for Call It What You Want in the Sports Podcast Awards in the "Best Team Podcast" category: https://www.sportspodcastgroup.com/sports_category/best-team-podcast/ Call It What You Want is available for free on the Audacy app as well as Apple Podcasts, Spotify and wherever else you listen to podcasts.
