Total Soccer Show: USMNT, Champions League, EPL, and more ...
Listener Questions! Pochettino meets with MLS executives, a new World Cup format, Man City’s financial charges & more
•
The whole gang is here to answer your questions, which you can find down below!
1. With reports saying that Mauricio Pochettino has already met with MLS owners about player development, do we think there is any possibility he is viewing the USMNT job past 2026 World Cup?
2. What is the ideal time to fire a manager?
3. If Man City are found guilty of a portion of their charges and end up relegated, how would that impact them financially?
4. Could a Premier League team register two entirely different squads, one for the league and one for cup competitions?
5. Why is turf so much worse than grass?
6. Do we think the World Cup will adopt the new Champions League format down the road as they continue to increase the number of nations participating?
