Chris Richards as a 6 | Gio needs a move | Cardoso joins Betis | Time to bring back Brooks? (Soccer 12/28)

Jimmy Conrad, Charlie Davies and Jesse Marsch close out 2023 with the inaugural Call It What You Want Awards, celebrating USMNT excellence across the calendar year! But first, Jesse shares his thoughts on USSF rejecting MLS’ attempts to send Next Pro teams to the U.S. Open Cup (04:44). The guys discuss Chris Richards being moved into Crystal Palace’s midfield, and whether Gregg Berhalter should be taking notes (20:39), as well as Johnny Cardoso becoming a Bético. The January transfer window is around the corner so the conversation shifts to potential landing spots for Gio Reyna and Brenden Aaronson (36:53). Then, has the time come to faze Tim Ream out of the National Team? And is John Brooks the best replacement for the Fulham veteran?
