In this episode, we dive into the biggest lineup questions surrounding the USMNT ahead of its matchup with Belgium. Jason is joined by Jonathan Tannenwald to break down the key decisions facing the coaching staff—from tactical shape to personnel choices—and what it all means for the team’s chances.

We get into the ongoing debates: Who should anchor the midfield? Which attacking options actually complement each other? And how much should recent form versus long-term trust factor into the starting XI? Jonathan brings his usual insight and reporting to help separate the noise from the reality.

If you’ve been second-guessing lineup projections or wondering what the smartest approach is against a top-tier opponent like Belgium, this episode is for you.
