## Resource

The Cooligans break down the leaked USMNT World Cup roster and debate the biggest snubs, surprises, and Mauricio Pochettino’s toughest decisions, including whether players like Diego Luna, Tanner Tessmann, Gio Reyna, and Alejandro Zendejas deserved a place. Then, Mexican legend Javier “Chicharito” Hernández joins the show for an honest conversation about the state of Mexican soccer, fan culture, the pressures of representing El Tri, his striker mentality, and why Hugo Sánchez deserves more respect among football’s all-time greats. Plus, the guys recap one of the wildest Premier League decision days in years, from West Ham’s relegation and Tottenham narrowly surviving to Sunderland’s European qualification and Pep Guardiola’s emotional farewell.
