    It’s not just a US men’s national team that needs a wake up call
    First of all, I wanna thank Charlie for holding his tongue and getting himself under control. But eventually the other fellow lost control and I think it was at the G** D*** comment that I turned it off. I have really been enjoying your new show. It has been delightfully clean. It’s so easy to talk trash. But the English language is a beautiful language. So many Sportman come across as uneducated with no real vocabulary so they just result to to “manly“vulgarity. Last time I unfollow you guys, it was more than a couple years ago. When I saw CBS was putting on the show, I was hoping they would hold you guys together. And I’m still gonna listen hoping that you’ll be able to control yourselves and find words to express what you’re feeling and not just expletives. It’s kind of like what you said about the US men’s national team. It’s like they haven’t learned anything. It’s just the same old plays over and over again — don’t get caught in that rut. A famous Spanish philosopher said those who are controlled by their emotions will never be their own Masters. You are a very good Podcast and you have good camaraderie. Challenge yourselves to do better. You want the US national team to do better and I would like you to do better. Otherwise, just change it from clean to explicit and let yourselves lose control. Like Dest.

    Jesse Marsch?? 👀
    Absolutely love the show! Such good information and perspectives. Not to mention the fantastic interviewees you bring on. That being said, Jesse Marsch did yall dirty now announcing the Canada job on the pod 😂 Is he leaving the pod right away?

    Love this podcast
    I really like listening to this podcast. Great information about the USMNT delivered with a sense of humor

    While I love the content of the show, Jimmy Conrad needs to change the hosts, as the show has dropped in quality since Heath left. Charlie needs to remain only on tv and Jesse will soon get a new coaching gig and leave the podcast. Jimmy should have guest hosts (former players, coaches, pundits, reporters, celebs, etc) every week to add different perspectives to how our USMNT players are performing, as well as perceived, domestically and abroad for both club and country. I’ll remain subscribed but long term this show won’t grow without changing the format. Also, get rid of the name of soccer in other languages segment, no one cares, I just skip through it.

    Fun learning
    I’ve really enjoyed learning about soccer from the hosts. They keep my attention with their engaging personalities and expand my mind with their strategy talk. My only recommendation would be for the hosts to ask more open ended questions to their guests to get even better conversations out of them for us excited listeners.

    Bring back Heath
    Jesse is bad

    Bring Heath back
    Whenever Jesse speaks he sounds bitter. Not a fan of the new format, I listened because the original three played with in the national team with each other. I appreciate Jesse’s knowledge of the game but his commentary comes across as constantly negative. Bring heath back before the summer!

    Ruined.
    If you ever needed an example of “if ain’t broke, don’t fix it”, look no further because here it is. Good job Golazo network. Thumbs down.
  • The Brig Picture
    Jury is still out
    Count me among those who enjoyed the chemistry and balance that Heath brought (even if he is not the most lively). I’m not impressed by Jesse so far, and Charlie and Jimmy defer to him too much. Perhaps if they ditch the gimmick in the beginning and learn to build off each other then the new lineup will work, but they definitely need more reps.

    Bring back Heath please
    I appreciate the clout (?) Jesse Marsch has as an experienced coach, but I started listening to this pod because of Orange Slices… basically followed Pearce through the evolution of that show to a pod featuring him and Jimmie and Charlie. Their connection as players and teammates and friends was palpable in every episode. It made them seem much more like real people talking about football from a common lived experience… not a polished produced sports entertainment product. Nothing wrong with that, but what heath brought made this show feel more… real? This now feels a bit like the “what do you think, Jesse?” Show… and TBH if it were called “The Jesse Marsch analysis of American Soccer Pod” I’d pass… as a guest interview or game commentator great. I cheat appreciate the insights and opinions but it just feels… meh. But that might be because I miss what the pod was with Heath.

    New listener
    Started listening to hear Jesse. Enjoy his comments. Will continue to listen. However not sure I will last as Jimmy’s yelling, fast talking and interrupting in an attempt to guide the show is difficult to stand for too long. Let Jesse talk as long as he wants. He is the draw. A new host/moderator with a softer touch would go a long way.
  • AlexandriaDan
    Heath
    Count me among the many who wish Heath was back. He was great and his chemistry and connection to Jimmy and Charlie was palpable - and kept the other two honest.
  • Heathpearcestan456
    Heath Pearce Where art thou
    We want Heath back. Where is Hollywood Heath? Give us Heath or give us death!!!!!
  • Jamie Whealon
    Boycot with no Heath
    It’s a shame you left Heath out. Disappointing!
  • fulltilted
    We want Heath!!
    Not listening until Heath back on show! He got a raw deal and was the best on the pod.
  • parasailcowboy
    No Heath no listsen
    We all get more than enough Charlie down the middle takes and none care about jessy.
  • jmaac09
    Killed a great show
    News flash we don’t care about Landon Donovan’s sob stories every week. This show was about the current team and deep dives on the games and it’s just the old glory day stories. Miss Jimmy heath and chuck
  • BAnonz
    Unfollow
    They killed a great pod and then have the audacity, temerity, nerve, gall, impudence, impertinence, insolence, effrontery, and chutzpah to shove this garbage into the feed. Have you no shame?
  • 🥸⚽️⚽️🤷
    When is the next episode
    🤷⚽️⚽️⚽️⚽️🤷‍♂️
  • areynaga18
    Is this show over?
    Are they done with this show? If so it’s disappointing.
  • larochoe
    Leave it to CBS to kill the best soccer podcast going.
    So very disappointing they replaced the best soccer podcast in the business we Jimmy and Heath who made the show. Now they are trying to force the his “Kickin It” show that feels and sounds so inferior. Just more “big corporate” feel and ruins the vibe. SMH
  • Chrisperpher
    Garbage after apparent changes
    What a great show that I won’t waste my time listening to anymore. Where’s heath? Where were the episodes after the recent friendlies? No where. Loved the show before 🤷‍♂️
  • gth752
    Hijacked show
    Why did CBS hijack this show from Jimmy and Heath? I see that move as super wrong that the CBS podcast needed to go under ISWT podcast name to get viewers. It’s quite pathetic and I’m very disappointed in Charlie to use his friends. Create your own podcast that nobody will watch and bring back Jimmy and Heath.
  • Megs1914
    Where is Heath?
    So disappointed to see you all let go of Heath. The chemistry and different perspectives of everyone was what made the podcast. I am no longer an active listener.

    Top Podcast of any Genre
    You guys are killing it.

    Just bratty ex players
    These ex-USMNT players are so immature it’s hard to listen to this podcast. Charlie Davies is especially annoying. The podcasts when he’s not there are slightly better. Jimmy is OK. But, wow, it’s a good thing I didn’t realize how spoiled and immature they were when I was watching them play. They make up their minds about players and coaches based on whether they’re friends with them or not. Skip this podcast. They’re not very informed (especially about the women’s team).
  • SonofLars86
    Its good
    Lots of information covered about all club and national team play. Banter never supersedes meaningful content. A rare gem.
  • yeetyah66
    Awesome
    They have great chemistry together, this is my favorite soccer pod, great for US soccer fans

    To Much On Race
    Sickening to watch and listen to these guys ramble on about race and single out specific races as racist or victims. Sad to see in 2023 we have babbling idiots ruffing about a topic that could be dead and buried but sadly is alive and well with people like these 3 men and their guests.
  • notBBD
    Has potential but fails
    From ignoring the women to having a berhalter plant not shutting up about gio, this podcast misses in a lot of spots. Host is good.
  • AMP-707
    Love it
    A solid U.S. focused soccer pod
  • Tenmoku13
    Best USMNT podcast!
    Great insights from 3 former USMNT players - always giving a perspective I don’t hear elsewhere

    My god pals stick to playing, thanks
  • madsfost
    No women’s coverage
    Really bummed that this is supposed to be a U.S. Soccer podcast, but Lalas only covers the men’s team…
  • mannyhams
    Great Analysis, Fun, Players Perspective
    The guys are always fun to listen to and I love the player perspective from inside the lockerroom. Good stuff
  • JPcrossbones
    Former players perspective
    Love listening to these guys cutting it up. Funny and informative, always.
  • Tazmainain devil
    So good
    such a good pod fr. these guys actually know what they’re talking about and the ins and outs of the system cause they’ve all played for USA. so good
  • !@%!@#^%
    Tough to listen to.
    Stopping the conversation to tell your cohost who you’ve run into on the street doesn’t make for good podcasting. This is very lost on the host in Qatar.
  • BaltimoreLiverpool
    Annoying
    Host is insufferable.
  • Top of the Group
    Elephant in the Room
    Great podcast for hearing about USMNT, candidate players and interviews, how they are doing for their clubs. I have only listened to the last several episodes leading up to the World Cup, but I think it’s a big MISS to not mention the issue of corruption in FIFA’s selection of Qatar to host and that country’s reprehensible mistreatment of foreign nationals that have built the WC infrastructure. I hope that in the remaining time the hosts will find time to acknowledge these problems and report on US Soccer’s position on the matter. Huge elephant in the room over this WC and can’t be ignored - integrity is on the line. Will be hard to continue listening if such massive issues are ignored. Better rating to come for honest acknowledgment on this issue.
  • ziAKilla
    Just as with Brittany!
    Just want you to know that by hosting this podcast and covering the World Cup you are saying that not only is slavery ok but also that non-white and/or gay people don’t matter! Terrible Job!!!!
  • Dubj561
    Love it
    Love the show guys, really great getting insight and perspective on USMNT from guys who actually played on the USMNT and it doesn’t hurt that all of you are entertaining as well. Keep up the great content and thank you for making my job as a mailman go smoother with your podcast.
  • B. Talcott
    Place to be for USMNT talk
    Insightful while entertaining - love the show!
  • Cindy NY
    Essential usmnt listening!
    Jimmy, Charlie and Heath are fun and informative and, importantly, avoid negativity like unlike so many other podcasts
  • poc678
    Such reactionary hot takes and what’s with the audio speeds?
    Is there no research department or editorial staff? So many times incorrect stats and information is said and they never issue a correction in the show notes or the next episode. Wrong years, dates, teams…etc. The panel talks out of both sides of their mouths. It’s obvious who they like on the national team, and it’s anyone that will give them an interview. It’s super obvious that Heath doesn’t like Pulisic based on the snide remarks he’s given on the pod, yet admitting he doesn’t know him. The audio is like 2x the speed? Can’t make out anything Jimmy says. Doesn’t help that all three shout all over each other.
  • kirkland mansss
    Americas favorite national team players
    These guys never disappoint with the quality content weekly!! Keep it up boys
  • Jhsherman
    Propagandists
    These guys are just using their former player statuses to produce terrible propaganda content to manufacture consent for bad MLS lifers. seriously, these guys are all puppets for USSF/MLS interests and their [structurally produced] “opinions” would make the usmnt much worse. spineless mouthpieces, the lot of ‘em.
  • NEStecmo
    Keep it Up Boys!!!
    Great Podcast!!! Love all the insight these former USMNT players provide. Hollywood’s training camp stories, Jimmy’s Passion who speaks for many of us. Davies’ attacking prowess was sorely lacking in WC2010.
