This week on the Summer Series, Dax McCarty and Taylor Twellman unpack everything from the Gold Cup final to PSG destroying Real Madrid. First up: what we learned about the USMNT after their run to the final — Dax and Taylor dive into the team’s style of play, why the U.S. excels in transition, and what still needs work ahead of 2026. Taylor isn’t holding back either: he rants about Pochettino’s team selections, still isn’t sold, and reveals who should be starting for the U.S. at the World Cup. Over at the Club World Cup, the Brazilian sides impressed — and PSG finally delivered on the biggest stage. Dax breaks down the gap between Real Madrid and PSG, and explains why Mbappé and Vini’s defensive effort (or lack thereof) still raises questions. Taylor draws a bold comparison between this PSG team and Pep’s legendary Barcelona squad. In MLS, all eyes are on this weekend’s Columbus vs. Cincinnati derby, but Taylor’s got worrying signs for Philadelphia. Dax reacts to the Patrick Agyemang move to Derby County, links between Rodrigo De Paul and Inter Miami, and Messi’s latest magic. Also: Dax calls out Josh Sargent’s club vs. country form — and the guys pay tribute to Thomas Müller as rumors swirl around a move to MLS. Don’t miss Picks of the Week, featuring Chelsea vs PSG and presented by FanDuel — 60 seconds of straight takes. And finally… the viral boat video everyone’s talking about. Dax and Taylor react — and yes, it’s as unhinged as you’d expect.
