Dest benched, Pepi delivers, Balo shines - Americans in UCL recap, the future of college soccer, MLS Playoff Power Rankings (Soccer 10/23)

Call It What You Want: A CBS Sports Golazo Network Podcast

Jimmy Conrad, Charlie Davies, and Tony Meola kick things off with a look at the USMNT crew in Champions League action this week (05:16). It was a mixed night for PSV’s American duo: Sergiño Dest showed up late, while Ricardo Pepi came off the bench to score and assist. No goals for Folarin Balogun against Spurs, but the Monaco No. 9's performance impressed the guys (12:58). And over in the Championship, Patrick Agyemang and Daryl Dike gave U.S. fans reason to celebrate (19:06). Charlie looks back on his past diving transgressions (23:41). Then the crew dives into U.S. Soccer’s bold proposals to overhaul men’s college soccer, and share a few college memories of their own (26:27). And the crew wraps with a full MLS playoff breakdown and reveal their updated Playoff Power Rankings (48:09).
