Call It What You Want: A CBS Sports Golazo Network Podcast

The new USMNT cycle starts Saturday against Peru, and Jimmy Conrad, Charlie Davies and Tony Meola are looking ahead to what could be a very different-looking team under Mauricio Pochettino. What matters most coming out of the World Cup: formation or personnel? George Campbell joins from camp to talk about his return to the national team after the disappointment of missing the World Cup. The West Brom captain opens up about his MLS-to-Championship move, what he learned from missing out on the biggest stage, and his mindset heading into September- October camp. Plus, the guys reflect on their own experiences as USMNT first-timers before making their cases for the XI they want to see against Los Incas.

Jimmy Conrad, Charlie Davies and Tony Meola kick things off by reacting to U.S. Soccer paying tribute to Tim Ream (03:05) before turning their attention to the current roster. Ricardo Pepi has withdrawn from camp through injury - will it ever happen for him in a USMNT shirt (15:39)? And will the two strikers in camp, Damion Downs and Julian Hall, make the most of the opportunity (17:38)? The crew also reacts to Noahkai Banks opting to play for Germany (27:29) and asks whether Mauricio Pochettino is making an example of Christian Pulisic (35:58). Plus, the paradox that is Johnny Cardoso: trusted by Diego Simeone, but still looking to establish himself as a USMNT regular (44:33). And finally, roster newcomers celebrate their call-ups with goals in MLS (1:00:06).

Mauricio Pochettino is using his first roster of the new cycle to experiment, evaluate and open the door to new possibilities. Jimmy Conrad, Charlie Davies and Tony Meola break down the 28-man roster, including 13 uncapped players getting their chance to prove themselves at the international level. Which of the fresh faces could make a real impression, and what do the new options tell us about the direction of this team? And while the door opens for some new players, some familiar faces are missing with Christian Pulisic, Weston McKennie and Tim Weah among the notable omissions. The crew also get into the goalkeeper and center back situations, discuss Gio Reyna and Yunus Musah, and recap Wednesday's U.S. Open Cup semifinal action.
