The United States Men’s National Team had a difficult time in October, and we recap that in Episode 143.

The USMNT had two tough games against Concacaf opponents, the first games under the management of Mauricio Pochettino. We review the 2-0 win against Panama and then discuss what happened in the 2-0 loss to Mexico. There are many things the USMNT must address if they want to improve. So let’s answer some questions and put some truths on the table.

After the break we discuss Jamaica’s draw by the USA for the quarterfinals of the Concacaf Nations League. Jamaica won their group in the League A group stage, so they are ready to take the next step and knock out another seeded team like they did with Canada last year. The USMNT must take Jamaica seriously and approach this game with the same intensity as the Reggae Boyz if they want to defend their title again.
