Christian Polanco and Alexis Guerreros react to Weston McKennie being left off the November USMNT roster. Should Mauricio Pochettino have selected the midfielder just months ahead of the World Cup? The boys also pick their best XI from this roster and highlight one fringe player they believe deserves to make the World Cup squad.
