Hosted by Mike Conti and Jason Longshore, this podcast provides in-depth discussions and insightful commentary about the team's performance, as well as interviews with key figures in the Atlanta United front office. As a passionate fan of the team, I have found this podcast to be an invaluable resource for staying up-to-date on all things Atlanta United.

    One of the best aspects of The Off the Woodwork podcast is the level of knowledge and expertise that Mike Conti and Jason Longshore bring to their discussions. Both hosts display a deep understanding of the game, providing thoughtful analysis and play-by-play calling that enhances my understanding and enjoyment of Atlanta United matches. They are able to break down tactics, formations, and player performances in a way that is accessible to fans of all levels of soccer knowledge.

    Additionally, I appreciate the variety of content offered by this podcast. In addition to their regular coverage of Atlanta United matches, The Off the Woodwork podcast also features special shows dedicated to events like the Women's World Cup. This demonstrates their commitment to providing comprehensive coverage not just for men's soccer, but also for women's soccer on a global scale. The inclusion of Jessica Charman as a contributor adds another layer of expertise and insight to the podcast.

    While there are many positives about The Off the Woodwork podcast, one potential drawback is that it may not appeal to listeners who are not already fans or followers of Atlanta United. This can make it less accessible to casual soccer fans or those looking for more general coverage of MLS or international soccer. However, for dedicated supporters of Atlanta United like myself, this focus on one team allows for more in-depth discussions specific to our favorite club.

    In conclusion, The Off the Woodwork podcast is an essential listen for any fan of Atlanta United. With its knowledgeable hosts, diverse range of content, and insightful analysis, this podcast provides a valuable resource for staying informed and engaged with the team.

    Cristiano Ronaldo became the first player in history to score in six different FIFA World Cups, adding two goals as Portugal put Uzbekistan away 5-0. But the other record set tonight was the one nobody wanted: England finished with 78.8 percent possession against Ghana in Foxborough, the highest figure in World Cup history without a goal, and late in the match they may well have gotten away with a penalty that was never called or reviewed. Jason breaks down both records, Croatia's vital win in Toronto where halftime sub Ante Budimir became the oldest scorer in Croatian World Cup history, Luka Modrić's 200th international cap, and Algeria staying alive with the Disgrace of Gijón already casting a shadow over what comes next. Then the full Matchday 3 preview for Groups A, B, and C, including the scoreboard-watching scenario around Scotland, Brazil, and Morocco vs. Haiti right here at Mercedes-Benz Stadium tomorrow at 6pm.

    The stars showed out on a Monday night at the World Cup, and Jason Longshore has it all covered. Lionel Messi broke the all-time World Cup scoring record with a brace against Austria in Dallas, surpassing both Miroslav Klose on the men's side and Marta on the women's side to stand alone at 18 goals across six tournaments. And Thiago Almada, the guy Atlanta United fans watched grow up in this city, set it up with a perfectly timed dummy at the top of the box. Kylian Mbappé scored twice for France through a two-hour lightning delay in Philadelphia to reach 16 World Cup goals. And Erling Haaland added a brace of his own as Norway topped Senegal to go through to the round of 32. Jason previews all four matches on Tuesday's schedule, including why the Portugal and Ronaldo situation is turning into a telenovela, why England vs Ghana is the match of the day, and why Colombia vs DR Congo could be the wildest game of match day two. The 3-4-3 covers Christian Pulisic returning to full training with the USMNT, Mauricio Culebro speaking publicly for the first time since arriving in Atlanta, the new Italian Football Federation president, and Germany losing Nico Schlotterbeck for the rest of the tournament. Then Stoppage Time kicks off on YouTube with Madison Crews and the returning legend Jarrett Smith joining Jason for a deep dive on the Argentina-France collision course, the full tournament bracket as it currently stands, the Norway pedigree question, the Scotland situation, and plenty of talk about sticker packs.
