Is the USMNT going to crash out of the CONCACAF Gold Cup?! This week Unfiltered Soccer with Landon Donovan and Tim Howard is coming to you from BMO Stadium! The guys dove into the recent lackluster performance of the U.S. Men’s National Team for their first live event in front of an intimate crowd in Los Angeles, California.
Tim and Landon also addressed the elephant in the room, talking about the missing players from the national team and some of their recent social media comments. They give flowers to Emma Hayes’ treatment of the women’s team, and in the Coors Light Unfiltered Refresh, they praise Trinity Rodman for supporting the Washington Spirit while she continues to rehab a back injury.
In the AT&T Mailbag, our hosts answered questions from the crowd about Mauricio Pochettino’s future in U.S. Soccer, the new Everton stadium, the U.S./Mexico rivalry and what the fans can do to support the growth of soccer in the U.S.
