Rob Gilbert and Michael Edgley are joined by ESPN's Joey Lynch to reflect on the Matildas friendlies against the USA, which saw the side's defensive frailties exposed once again across 3-0 and 1-1 results.
Freelance German football expert Mark Lovell returns to the show to provide background on Ralf Rangnick, the experienced manager who's been tasked with righting the sinking ship at Manchester United on an interim basis.
