On this week’s episode, we’re wrapping up the latest from the U.S. Men’s National Team camp with an engaging conversation with one of the players featured in September’s two-match set, captain and center back Tim Ream.
First, Meghan Klingenberg and Alejandro Bedoya react to the USMNT’s big win over Japan in Columbus, Ohio on Tuesday night and offer their analysis following the result. Then, Klingenberg goes one-on-one with Ream, as the two leaders reflect on their own paths in the sport, from their childhood dreams of playing professional soccer (2:00) and competing in the World Cup (8:00) to Klingenberg’s eventful day watching the 1999 Women’s World Cup and how fatherhood has changed Tim’s perspective on leadership and vulnerability (19:30). Finally, they wrap up with the question everyone wants answered: what is Tim’s hair regimen? (Hint: His answer may surprise you.)
