A New Era for the USMNT | Brad Davis Interview

Ball Watching, LLC — Fri, 25 Sep 2026 11:00:00 GMT

Ball Watching hosts, Jake Koenig and Justin Graham, sit down with St. Louisian and former USMNT World Cup veteran / MLS legend, Brad Davis. Brad joins us to break down the state of the U.S. Men's National Team and the start of the 2030 cycle. We discuss his insights on the 2026 World Cup performance, Mauricio Pochettino’s expanded role through 2030, and the dramatic youth movement currently underway. The conversation highlights the historic first senior call-up of 16-year-old Cavan Sullivan, the strategic absence of marquee veterans like Christian Pulisic and Folarin Balogun to evaluate the broader player pool, and the influx of eight teenagers and 13 uncapped players. Finally, we preview the upcoming friendlies against Peru, Chile in St. Louis, Mexico, and Canada as the squad kicks off the road to 2030.
