## Resource

The World Cup may be over, but the countdown to 2030 has already begun. Jimmy Conrad, Charlie Davies, and Benny Feilhaber map out the biggest dates on the USMNT's horizon, debate Mauricio Pochettino's future, and discuss how quickly U.S. Soccer needs to appoint a permanent head coach. The crew reacts to Folarin Balogun breaking his silence on the controversy surrounding his World Cup red card, asks whether Balo has overtaken Christian Pulisic as the face of the national team, and looks ahead to a pivotal season for Pulisic at AC Milan. Plus, with MLS back in action, they assess the league's latest marquee signings and whether it has done enough to capitalize on the momentum of a home World Cup.
