Tom Bogert and Tab Ramos break down the positives and negatives from the USMNT's frustrating—but ultimately meaningless—loss to Türkiye to close out the group stage of the FIFA World Cup. The biggest takeaway? The successful return of Christian Pulisic, whose performance was a major boost heading into the knockout rounds. The guys also praise Sebastian Berhalter for another strong outing while questioning several of Mauricio Pochettino's lineup and tactical decisions, including his bizarre responses during the post-match press conference. Tom and Tab then project their Starting XI for Wednesday's Round of 32 matchup against Bosnia and Herzegovina. Plus, Tab looks back at another impressive week of DraftKings predictions. 🎧 Listen to the full audio podcast: https://t.co/Lp1vrt7fvR 📲 Follow Inside American Soccer: Twitter / X: https://x.com/InsideAmSoc Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/insideamericansoccer/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@UCmBmRVIQKo5vl7hULeVQnIA 00:00 USMNT Loses to Türkiye, Wins Group D 02:22 Biggest Takeaways from the Rotated Lineup 05:54 Pulisic Returns at the Perfect Time 08:00 Is the USMNT Vulnerable Against Possession Teams? 09:00 Tim Weah's Tough Night 11:32 Berhalter Makes His Case 15:04 Pochettino's Strange Postgame Press Conference 20:41 Are Expectations for the USMNT Too High? 25:43 Projecting the Starting XI vs Bosnia 27:46 DraftKings Predictions Recap 28:13 Bosnia Clinches USMNT Round of 32 Matchup 30:57 Did the Head-to-Head Tiebreak Hurt the World Cup? 31:25 Grading the USMNT vs Türkiye Prediction 32:17 Looking Ahead to Bosnia
