Patrick Agyemang’s dream of a home World Cup is over. Jimmy Conrad, Charlie Davies, and Marcelo Balboa react to the Derby striker’s ruptured Achilles (04:22), and break down what his absence means for Mauricio Pochettino’s roster plans heading into the summer (11:04).

7 April 2026, 5:02 pm - 48 minutes 23 secondsUSMNT blanked in World Cup tune-up | USA vs. Portugal recap & reaction (Soccer 3/31)
After a 2-0 defeat to Portugal, more questions than answers surround Mauricio Pochettino’s USMNT.
Jimmy Conrad, Charlie Davies, and Tony Meola break down a frustrating night and a March camp defined by constant tinkering, with tactics, personnel, and, most notably, a back four that still isn’t convincing this close to the World Cup.
There were bright spots - Auston Trusty made the most of his opportunity - but who else helped or hurt their case with the roster deadline looming? The guys debate the biggest selection dilemmas and build their ideal XI for the opener against Paraguay.
Despite back-to-back losses, Pochettino and Christian Pulisic are striking a positive tone… but is that optimism justified, or a warning sign?
Plus, Türkiye punch their ticket to Group D - are they the immediate favorites to top it? And what did Pochettino really mean by saying his squad doesn’t feature “top 100” players?

1 April 2026, 3:02 am - 1 hour 13 minutesCan USMNT close March on a positive? | USA vs. Portugal preview & predictions (Soccer 3/30)
The vibes are… complicated. After a sobering 5-2 loss to Belgium, Jimmy Conrad, Charlie Davies, and Tony Meola regroup to unpack what went wrong, starting with a sharper reassessment of Johnny Cardoso’s first half and what it means for his role moving forward. The guys also take a closer look at Matt Turner and dig into what Mauricio Pochettino may (and may not) have learned from a night where intensity was a major question.
From there, the focus shifts to Christian Pulisic, who reaches the 10-year mark with the United States men's national soccer team. But it’s not just a celebration as the crew weighs his current goal drought with the national team.
Then it’s on to the final dress rehearsal. The USMNT faces Portugal national football team, a side missing stars like Cristiano Ronaldo and Rafael Leão, but still loaded with quality. The crew dives into Roberto Martínez’s setup and talks through what Pochettino’s projected XI could look like with roster decisions looming.
One last test. Big calls ahead.

Plus, after Tim Ream calls this the “most important camp” yet, the crew reflect on their own experiences fighting for spots with the national team - and push back on the idea that performances in camp alone determine a coach’s decisions. So what really matters to Mauricio Pochettino when evaluating his bubble players (31:57)?
Plus, Ricardo Pepi's move to Fulham looks in doubt (48:33) while Orlando City get a big boost with Antoine Griezmann set to join the MLS strugglers (54:35).

Call It What You Want is presented by Zillow. Jimmy Conrad, Tony Meola, and Jonathan Bornstein unpack Mauricio Pochettino's 27-man roster for the upcoming friendlies (04:38).

The crew discusses the primary objectives of the March camp before diving into the midfield and forward lines (24:52). Gio Reyna gets Jonny's seal of approval, Weston McKennie's position is a question mark, and Patrick Agyemang gets another look (29:01).

The guys discuss the newly unveiled USMNT's World Cup kits, and Tony reflects on the team's horror when the denim kit was presented to them in 1994 (51:23).
