Host John Krysinsky is joined by senior writer for The Sporting News, Mike DeCourcy, to break down a chaotic night in the Bay Area and look ahead to a massive knockout clash with Belgium.\nJohn and Mike tackle the fallout from Folarin Balogun's highly controversial 64th-minute red card and how Pochettino's \"no-panic\" culture kept the 10-man squad structurally flawless. Plus, they dive into the tactical adjustments required for Monday's match without their primary target man: Will it be Ricardo Pepi or Haji Wright leading the line, and how much heavy lifting will fall on the soaring shoulders of Malik Tillman? \nLinks & Resources:\n• Read Mike's post-match column at The Sporting News\n• Follow Mike on X: @tsnmike\n• Head to Pittsburgh Soccer Now for full match breakdowns, tactical analysis, and fan galleries!\nPhoto courtesy US Soccer ","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/kkhsdsv30OCfc_M73OxdoLtC7Pvevq5VCsWv-bJuBGE/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9zaG93/LzMxMTQxLzE2NjU4/NTQ0MDktYXJ0d29y/ay5qcGc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
