On The Morning Shift, Ali Mac and Mike Johnson spend some time with former 12-year professional soccer player and now Audacy soccer insider and analyst Jamie Watson! Mike, Ali, and Jamie discuss if yesterday's Round of 16 match between Argentina and Egypt here in Atlanta, Georgia was Jamie's favorite match of the 2026 FIFA World Cup so far, if Jamie gives more credit to Argentina for their 3-2 comeback win over Egypt yesterday in their Round of 16 match, or if Jamie thinks Argentina's comeback was more a result of Egypt not getting any calls go their way. Mike, Ali, and Jamie also talk about what it's like for guys on Egypt who were on the wrong side of that comeback yesterday, if Jamie is a guy that likes to see the team that beats the team he plays for or roots for go on to win the championship or get blown out and lose in the next round of the postseason or tournament, the U.S. Men's National Team's 4-1 loss to Belgium in their Round of 16 match on Monday night, which team he thinks is the best team left in the 2026 FIFA World Cup, Jamie loving the city of Atlanta, and Atlanta being a great host city in the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
