Producer’s Note: This episode ends with the crew's reaction to Atlético Madrid confirming that Johnny Cardoso suffered a high-grade ankle sprain. The news broke during the show, which is why the opening discussion around Atlético’s Champions League semifinal exit does not mention the injury or its potential World Cup implications.
Jimmy Conrad, Tony Meola, and (eventually) Charlie Davies discuss Liga MX's dominance over MLS in the Concacaf Champions Cup following Nashville and LAFC's elimination from the competition. Staying in Mexico, the guys react to Javier Aguirre threatening to leave Liga MX players off his World Cup squad unless they report for a month-long national team camp.
USMNT legend Clint Mathis joins to reflect on his 2002 World Cup heroics, almost joining Bayern Munich, and playing with a chip on his shoulder.
And the crew reacts to breaking news out of Spain as Atletico Madrid confirm Johnny Cardoso has suffered a high-grade ankle sprain.
