Tom Bogert and Tab Ramos are joined by Matt Doyle to make their predictions for the USMNT players in Europe as the new season gets underway. They debate who will have the best year, who is under the most pressure to perform, and who could break out. Plus, the guys make some bold predictions—including when they expect Gio Reyna and Christian Pulisic to make the move to MLS.

The conversation then turns to one of the biggest issues facing American soccer: youth development. Tom, Tab, and Matt break down how MLS involvement has created an increasingly fragmented development system, while also producing some promising results. They discuss what's working, what's not, and what needs to change if the U.S. wants to consistently develop world-class players.
