Call It What You Want: A CBS Sports Golazo Network Podcast

Jimmy Conrad, Charlie Davies and Tony Meola look ahead to what's in store for the Americans plying their trade in the Premier League, Serie A and Ligue 1. Gianluca Busio led Venezia to promotion last season... can he return to the USMNT picture this time out? Has Yunus Musah earned the trust of new Milan boss Ruben Amorim? Gio Reyna starts anew at Strasbourg with his European future at a crossroads. And is Monaco still the best place for Folarin Balogun? And new coaches could mean new opportunities for a number of EPL-based Americans. What does the changing landscape mean for Antonee Robinson, Chris Richards, Zavier Gozo and Tyler Adams? Plus, Mark McKenzie could be heading back to Philadelphia as a DP. And could more USMNT stars be on the move before the transfer window slams shut?

Jimmy Conrad, Charlie Davies, and Tony Meola reflect on the 2026 World Cup. What (if anything) can US Soccer learn from Spain's success? And how much did the tournament move the soccer needle stateside?
With USMNT fans waiting to learn whether Mauricio Pochettino will stay on for another cycle, the crew debates whether the Argentine is the right man to lead the program forward. And, if not, how long U.S. Soccer should take to find his successor.
Then, The Athletic's Paul Tenorio joins the show to discuss MLS' efforts to capitalize on the 48-team World Cup, Don Garber's legacy as league commissioner, and the two leading candidates to replace him.
