Tom and Tab get into the Pepi injury fallout, Josh Sargent's potential move to Toronto FC, what to make of Weston McKennie's goal scoring surge and when Christian Pulisic will come home to MLS. They answer your mailbag questions about the World Cup roster, players that didn't develop they way they thought and why Gio Reyna's run at Azteca sums up the current generation of USMNT players. Plus Tab goes back to Trinidad in 1989 for stories from the game that changed everything for U.S. Soccer with the "Shot Heard Round the World," and why Tab's pass may have been the key to Paul Caligiuri's legendary goal.
