## Resource

Rog is joined by Herculez Gomez to break down the USMNT’s dream start to the tournament after wins over Paraguay and Australia. They begin with the unforgettable scenes in Seattle, then assess how Mauricio Pochettino’s high-intensity approach has transformed the team. They discuss Weston McKennie’s role, the squad’s growing maturity, and the questions still surrounding the back line. Plus, they discuss how much rotation there should be going into their game against Turkey, and Herc gives his score predictions.
