Call It What You Want: A CBS Sports Golazo Network Podcast

As USMNT fans wait for Mauricio Pochettino to be announced with bated breath, Jimmy Conrad, Charlie Davies and Brian McBride welcome in Felipe Cardenas of The Athletic to discuss the latest in US Soccer's pursuit of Gregg Berhalter's successor (03:25). Will Chelsea clear the way for the Argentine to take the reins for the upcoming friendlies? And if not, will interim coach Mikey Varas be selecting the roster?

In transfer news, Weston McKennie and Tim Weah will have more competition at Juventus, Tanner Tessmann nears a move to Lyon, and Gio Reyna has accepted his role at Dortmund (48:49).
