Summary

Alexi Lalas and David Mosse kick things off with a preview of the USMNT’s upcoming matches against Venezuela and Costa Rica. A few roster changes included the departing of Jalen Neal, Jesus Ferreira, and John Tolkin. Over in Europe, the Americans showed out behind goals from Gio Reyna, Malik Tillman, and Ricardo Pepi. Christian Pulisic came off the pitch in the away win at Como due to muscle fatigue. The January transfer window action also continues with moves from Khvicha Kvaratskhelia, Randal Kolo Muani, Miguel Almiron, Luca De La Torre, and more.
