Tom Bogert and Tab Ramos break down the positives and negatives from the USMNT's frustrating—but ultimately meaningless—loss to Türkiye to close out the group stage of the FIFA World Cup. The biggest takeaway? The successful return of Christian Pulisic, whose performance was a major boost heading into the knockout rounds. The guys also praise Sebastian Berhalter for another strong outing while questioning several of Mauricio Pochettino's lineup and tactical decisions, including his bizarre responses during the post-match press conference.

Tom and Tab then project their Starting XI for Wednesday's Round of 32 matchup against Bosnia and Herzegovina. Plus, Tab looks back at another impressive week of DraftKings predictions.

Plus, Tab makes his DraftKings predictions for the week's biggest matches, including a look ahead at the potential U.S. opponent in the knockout round, which could be the winner of Bosnia and Herzegovina vs. Qatar.
