Colin is joined by U.S. Men's soccer legend Landon Donovan and host of the &ldquo;Unfiltered Soccer&rdquo; podcast with Tim Howard to preview the 2026 World Cup. They start with the current USMNT and their more extensive experience in playing overseas, at a higher level than prior teams and the advantages it provides in preparing them for a cup. Landon argues that due to their early superstar status & big contracts, they lost some grit, but if they are focused can exceed expectations (1:30). They discuss the tension between star player Christian Pulisic and head coach Mauricio Pochettino after Pulisic declined an invite to the national team, and how Pochettino has brought a real sense of pride and accountability in playing for USMNT(3:30).&nbsp; Finally, they preview Group D and discuss whether the U.S. got a favorable draw, and the enormous pressure that comes with being a favorite and playing at home during a World Cup (7:45). They discuss how the expanded field of 48 teams has changed the definition of success for the United States (10:00), and debate whether the U.S. will play a more conservative defensive style or whether they&rsquo;ll be aggressive and looking to attack (13:30).&nbsp; (Timestamps may vary based on advertisements.)
