Joe and Taylor (now talking into an actual, proper microphone) take a long look at the USA's emphatic 5-1 win over Panama in the penultimate game of World Cup qualifying. Hopefully.

We get to the bottom of some of the big questions from that match, like how did the USA weather a nervy opening 10 minutes, who improved their standing on the depth chat, is Gio Reyna also The Hulk (in that they're both always angry), and just how good was that Pulisic third goal? The abbreviated answer: very!

There's also some praise for individual performers, a discussion of why Adam Belz from the Scuffed podcast would probably make a good cult leader, and a look ahead to final game of Concacaf World Cup qualifying versus a motivated Costa Rican team.

On this Monday’s Weekend Review, Taylor, Ryan (he's back!), Graham, and Joe dive into the action (and the top stories) from the weekend.

Up first, we discuss how the soccer world is reacting to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine (with more on that at the start of the third segment). After the opening, we chat about Carlos Vela’s hat trick, Charlotte FC’s debut, and much more from MLS’s opening weekend. In the second segment, it’s on to Liverpool’s chaotic win over Chelsea in the Carabao Cup final and the merits of Tuchel’s “Kepa Decision”. Finally in segment three, we talk Jesse Marsch to Leeds and round up the weekend’s European action.
