Jimmy Conrad, Charlie Davies, and Tony Meola discuss Pellegrino Matarazzo's historic win over Atletico Madrid in the Copa Del Rey final - is the New Jersey native destined to coach the USMNT one day? Haji Wright clinched promotion with Coventry, but can he cut it in the Premier League? The crew discusses Malik Tillman dropping down Leverkusen's pecking order, and what it could mean for his hopes of starting in the World Cup. And with Tim Ream picking up a groin injury over the weekend, the guys do a deep dive on what the USMNT's pool of centerbacks actually looks like. Plus, it's time to revisit the projected USMNT World Cup roster. Who is the third goalkeeper? Is there a spot for Gio Reyna? And is Diego Luna ahead of Alex Zendejas?

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.
