USMNT humbled by Marsch's Canada | September friendly recap & reaction (Soccer 9/7)

Jesse Marsch was the only American smiling after his prediction of a 2-1 Canada win over the U.S. came to pass. Jimmy Conrad, Tony Meola and Brian McBride analyze the USMNT’s first performance since the disastrous Copa America campaign (1:30). The guys discuss the team’s struggles to deal with Canada’s press and speculate as to how Mauricio Pochettino might have viewed the game (09:50). Then, the player ratings don’t make for flattering listening for the likes of Tim Ream, Johnny Cardoso or Yunus Musah (18:15). And while the center back pairing is the area of most concern for the crew, the lack of vocal leaders and physicality is another worrying trait for the Stars and Stripes (36:08). A discussion about the changes Mikey Varas should make for Tuesday’s clash against New Zealand (46:55). And finally, another setback for Gio Reyna, and have Mexico found an international break cheat code (50:20)?
