Pochettino's next coaching gig, principles of 1v1 defending, Turkish betting chaos, and more! | Listener Questions

We’re answering your listener questions! Today we predict where Mauricio Pochettino will land after WC26 and which USMNT player he’ll bring with him, break down what makes a great 1v1 defender and who the best are, look at how promotion and relegation shape (or stall) classic rivalries, try to unravel the wild scandal inside the Turkish Football Federation and what it means for the sport, and debate European two-color flag nations vs. three-color flag nations in a very TSS-style showdown.
