The leaked USMNT World Cup roster is here and The Cooligans are diving into every shocking inclusion and painful omission. Did Mauricio Pochettino get it right leaving Diego Luna and Tanner Tessmann off the list? Should Gio Reyna and Alejandro Zendejas have made the squad? Christian and Alexis debate the biggest roster controversies and what these decisions say about the future of the U.S. Men’s National Team heading into the World Cup.

Then, former Mexico striker Javier “Chicharito” Hernández joins the show for one of the most thoughtful football conversations we’ve had in a long time. Chicharito opens up about the biggest problems in Mexican soccer, why fans need to rethink how they support players, how he developed his instincts as a striker, and why Hugo Sánchez still doesn’t get enough respect as one of the greatest goal scorers the sport has ever seen.

Plus, we react to one of the tensest Premier League decision days in recent memory. West Ham are down, Tottenham somehow survive, Sunderland are headed to Europe in their first season back in the top flight, and Pep Guardiola says goodbye to the Premier League in emotional fashion. Is Pep the greatest manager football has ever seen? We debate it all.
