Every week, Jimmy Conrad, Charlie Davies, and Tony Meola get together for a conversation that feels like pulling up a chair at the pub with friends who just happen to have lived the professional soccer life. Their Call It What You Want: A CBS Sports Golazo Network Podcast is built on that unique perspective, offering analysis that’s as informed by their own experiences on the pitch as it is by the current headlines. The core of the discussion always circles back to the USMNT-its roster decisions, its performances, and its long-term trajectory-but the scope of the show is deliberately broader. You’ll hear them dig into the rhythms of MLS, the drama of the UEFA Champions League, and the journeys of Americans Abroad, all while assessing the overall health and growth of soccer stateside. This isn’t a dry recap of scores; it’s a lively, often opinionated, and deeply knowledgeable take on the stories that matter. Listening to this podcast means getting a blend of technical breakdown, historical context, and the kind of candid debate that can only come from former pros who are still deeply embedded in the game’s ecosystem. They call it what they want, and what results is an essential weekly check-in for any fan invested in where American soccer is and where it’s headed next.
