Jumping for joy or cautiously optimistic? Either way, it could’ve been much worse. Jimmy Conrad, Charlie Davies, and Tony Meola break down the USMNT’s 2026 World Cup draw: Paraguay, Australia, and one of Kosovo/Romania/Slovakia/Türkiye. The crew sizes up how co-hosts Mexico and Canada fared, debates whether a 48-team tournament can even have a true “group of death,” and revisits the Stars and Stripes’ recent clashes with Paraguay and Australia. Charlie talks about the mood in D.C. and shares Mauricio Pochettino’s reaction, and the guys lament the glaring absence of U.S. Soccer during the draw ceremony and take some questions.
