In this episode of the DeadBall TV Podcast, the lads take things back to America to debate the uncertain futures of USMNT stars Christian Pulisic and Tim Weah, both of whom are in less-than-favorable positions with their respective clubs. Pulisic has somehow been deemed to be worse than Mudryk, and Tim Weah is playing in Antonee Robinson's position.

Keeping things local, a recent report from Sportico revealed that 18 MLS clubs rank in the top 50 most valuable soccer clubs in the world. Upon further review, this might not be as big of an achievement as you might think it is...

And lastly, Lionel Messi has added his name to the growing list of superstars who failed to bring a Champions League to PSG. After an apparent miscommunication about practice (PRACTICE!), PSG suspended Messi for 2 weeks and announced that they do not plan on extending his contract.

So what's next? Chase the cash in Saudi Arabia? Tan on the beach in Miami? Return to Barcelona? We have a few thoughts.

In this episode of the "NESN Soccer Podcast," Marc DiBenedetto interviews veteran soccer journalist Grant Wahl. Wahl goes in depth on what to expect from the various young American stars in Europe and how it can translate to success on the U.S. Men's National Team.

Earnie Stewart has a new job, Kate Markgraf has a new job, and we've got clips from the conference call with them and Carlos Cordeiro as they discussed their new roles. Greg and Belz get into that and what it means, and then we talk about Weah, Dest, Sargent and Pomykal, and a few other notable performances from the weekend.

We run down the action in Europe over the weekend, mostly in the Bundesliga. Greg explains what worried him about the USWNT’s 3-1 loss to France. Then we talk about the upcoming Panama friendly, who the 6 is going to be, and we give our (half-hearted) starting XIs. Mostly we're just curious about the game.

Ajax and U.S. U20 right back Sergino Dest joins the podcast from the Netherlands for nice little chat. And then Greg and Belz gin up predictions mostly to honor this coming weekend's return of the Bundesliga.

• 0:30 Sergiño Dest, the 18-year-old attacking fullback who's a standout for one of the world's best academies and a U.S. youth international, talked about the upcoming U20 World Cup, where he needs to improve (in surprising detail), his ambitions, and going up against Diego Lainez.
• 28:45 spring predictions on Sargent, Pulisic, the USMNT centerback loan army, Soto and Mendez, other players attaining “Weston McKennie status,” Tim Weah, another Tyler Adams coming out of MLS, and finally Concacaf Champions League.

Boxing Day with the Benitez Brothers is about to become a yearly tradition. John Benitez (not affiliated with Nike) and previous guest, ex-El Salvadoran national U-21 player Kenny Benitez (also John's younger brother), join Steven and Andrea to eat some leftover Christmas cookies and talk some chisme like true Latinos. The Wankers and guests cover the new LA Galaxy head coach appointment, Inter Milan are the "not cool moment of the week" winners, and Tim Weah loaning himself out to Celtic where he'll be more useful. They celebrate Boxing Day in style, going nuts over Digne's free kick, bemoaning Yedlin's weak start, and raving over thicc boy Shaqiri becoming the signing of the season. Spurs are in contention for the title race, and Manchester United have got the real Pogba back. Come for the Premier League discussion, stay for the MLS off season takes, as well as USMNT World Cup predictions within our lifetime. And as always, you've got subs, if you need 'em. 

International break means heartache for Full Kit Wanker Andrea, as she mourns the lack of club play, but joy for Steven as they both dive into UEFA Nations League, and other International Friendly fixtures of the week. Stay tuned while the FKWs grapple with their half Colombian pride and deep adoration for James Rodriguez' curler all the while discussing what the US Men's National team need to move forward and Wayne Rooney deserving "manager of the year" for what he's done with D.C. United. As always, they gush over the US Women's National Team and their gorgeous attacks and the Wankers weigh in this week on #save the crew and how the crew was saved!

Pulisic didn't show up and neither did Bolivia, but everyone else did. Debut goal for Sargent. Big night for Weah. Strong stuff from Robinson. McKennie was a man among boys.

• 0:30 lineup, including Pulisic at the 10
• 7:45 Bono, Robinson, Palmer-Brown, Zimmerman and Lichaj
• 26:45 Corona, Rubin, Weah and Sargent
• 49:00 the substitutes, and some kudos for Sarachan
