Episode Description from the Publisher

Jimmy Conrad, Charlie Davies and Tony Meola kick things off by reacting to U.S. Soccer paying tribute to Tim Ream (03:05) before turning their attention to the current roster. Ricardo Pepi has withdrawn from camp through injury - will it ever happen for him in a USMNT shirt (15:39)? And will the two strikers in camp, Damion Downs and Julian Hall, make the most of the opportunity (17:38)? The crew also reacts to Noahkai Banks opting to play for Germany (27:29) and asks whether Mauricio Pochettino is making an example of Christian Pulisic (35:58). Plus, the paradox that is Johnny Cardoso: trusted by Diego Simeone, but still looking to establish himself as a USMNT regular (44:33). And finally, roster newcomers celebrate their call-ups with goals in MLS (1:00:06).Call It What You Want is available for free on the Audacy app as well as Apple Podcasts, Spotify and wherever else you listen to podcasts. Follow the Call It What You Want team on X:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@JimmyConrad⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠,⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ @CharlieDavies9⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@TMeola1⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠For more soccer coverage from CBS Sports, visit ⁠https://www.cbssports.com/soccer/⁠Subscribe to ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Paramount+⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Visit the betting arena on CBS Sports.com: ⁠https://www.cbssports.com/betting/⁠For all the latest in sportsbook reviews and promos: ⁠https://www.cbssports.com/betting/news/sportsbook-promos/
