We go into the men's international break where Bayern makes a massive change at the top, and we discuss how managers can survive there given their super high standards. With the 2026 Cycle officially beginning, national teams are regrouping and Kylian Mbappe has been named the new France captain, much to the chagrin of one of the vets.

We then turn to the USMNT, currently training in Orlando ahead of their matches against Grenada and El Salvador, and also in Orlando is Reims (on loan from Arsenal) striker Folarin Balogun, a US-eligible player who is in the position to make a one-time International switch from England to the US, also Zack Steffen has decided on the next step in his career, and is there a battle coming for the permanent head coach spot, and in 2UP/2Down, we talk Liga MX, FIFA23, NWSL Opening Day, and more!!
