USMNT Gold Cup roster reaction and analysis w/ Bobby Warshaw
Taylor is joined by Bobby Warshaw to discuss the USA's loss to Jamaica, as well as why our guest thinks maybe we should all calm down about Duane Holmes just a little bit. After that, we go deep on Berhalter's roster, and also attempt to figure out what the US will do in the Gold Cup, how players can improve their national team standing, and why Josh Sargent didn't make the cut. In the middle of that chat, you'll hear from Daryl Grove! He and Taylor discuss which Americans have the most to gain/lose in the coming transfer window. SPONSORS!
