Tom Bogert and Tab Ramos react to the USMNT’s 2–1 loss to Germany in its final tune-up before the FIFA World Cup kicks off on Friday.

The guys break down the attacking partnership between Christian Pulisic and Folarin Balogun, while also evaluating the midfield chemistry of Malik Tillman, Weston McKennie, and Tyler Adams.

Tom provides the latest reporting on Chris Richards’ ankle injury, his expected timeline for return, and how his status could affect the U.S. lineup heading into the tournament.

Plus, Tab reflects on whether the USMNT has truly progressed since the team's run at the 2022 World Cup, and why some of the same issues remain four years later. To close the show, Tom and Tab reveal their projected Starting XIs for the United States’ World Cup opener against Paraguay.
