Unfiltered Soccer with Landon Donovan and Tim Howard

On the latest edition of Unfiltered Soccer, Landon Donovan and Tim Howard share their instant reaction to the USMNT’s 4-2 Nations League win over Jamaica. Is Pochettino’s system beginning to take hold? Should the U.S. be playing with a back 3? And was it odd to see Gregg Berhalter taking it all in from stands??  Plus, with Christian Pulisic in the form of his life, we wonder if a move back to the Premier League might be in order. Some say perhaps while someone on this pod says “the grass is rarely greener.”  Finally, Tim explains why he still believes Zack Steffen should be in the national team picture, Landon explains why he’s got no use for Mexican Football Federation’s statement condemning Honduran fans and both guys explain their position on the country vs club debate.  New episodes of Unfiltered Soccer with Landon and Tim drop every Tuesday.

Welcome to the very first episode of Unfiltered Soccer with Landon Donovan and Tim Howard, presented by Volkswagen!  The guys talk MLS playoffs: Atlanta United show Inter Miami the door with goalkeeper Brad Guzan their shining star. Strong feelings abound when they discuss Philadelphia Union firing head coach Jim Curtin and the San Jose Earthquakes are welcoming new sporting director and head coach Bruce Arena after his controversial departure from the New England Revolution last year.   With the USMNT facing off against Jamaica in the Nations League starting this week, Landon and Tim ponder Mauricio Pochettino’s recently released line-up and where US fans should be setting their expectations.  Across the pond, our hosts focus on the fallibility of Manchester City and the hole left behind by an injured Rodri as well as whether or not Liverpool can keep their lead knowing that City will eventually rally. Speaking of Liverpool, Tim highlights referee David Coote’s decision to allow his personal opinions to be recorded, while Landon insists that one of new Manchester United manager’s first tasks will have to be getting players like Alejandro Garnacho to fall back in love with the club.  The guys also answer your mailbag questions and discuss their favorite non-soccer sports stories in Anything But Soccer!  New episodes of Unfiltered Soccer with Landon and Tim drop every Tuesday.
