Jimmy Conrad, Charlie Davies, and Tony Meola welcome USMNT icon and Hall of Famer Tab Ramos for a deep dive into the trajectory of the national team and the biggest challenges ahead of 2026. Tab calls out the lack of fight in today’s players, how over-coaching and rewarding possession is stifling development, and why mentality—not talent—is the real issue.

Tab argues the best players are already in the pool and backs Tyler Adams, Weston McKennie, and Yunus Musah as the team’s core, while questioning Gio Reyna’s long-term role. Plus, Tab shares stories from his playing days and builds his all-time USMNT XI!
