There’s a few USMNT fellows abroad we didn’t get to that are on B.J. Callaghan’s itinerary this month, including Josh Sargent (coming off a goal this weekend), as well as Tim Ream and Jedi. Apologies. Anthony Hudson also met Pulisic in London, apparently, but we didn’t discuss him either.

Covered in this episode:

— Anthony Hudson visits Dike, Trusty, Aaronson, Adams, McKennie, Reyna.

— B.J. Callaghan staying abroad to visit CCV, Tillman, Sands, Steffen, Dike, Trusty.
