Welcome back to Cooligans Daily Live! With America's 250th birthday right around the corner, Christian Polanco and Alexis Guerreros are back in the studio to dissect the biggest storylines of the 2026 World Cup. The major talking point is the USMNT's upcoming massive Round of 16 clash against Belgium. The guys dive deep into how Mauricio Pochettino should handle the devastating absence of Folarin Balogun following his controversial red card. They debate whether Ricardo Pepi is the plug-and-play solution or if a wild false-nine experiment utilizing Christian Pulisic or Weston McKennie is the tactical key to unlocking a struggling Belgian side. Beyond the USMNT camp, breaking news hits the show as rumors swirl around Jurgen Klopp potentially taking over the German National Team. Christian and Alexis break down Klopp's immense authority and aura compared to Julian Nagelsmann, and discuss whether he can finally fix Germany's deep-rooted issues after three disappointing tournament cycles. Plus, the guys recap the latest heavyweight knockout stage action, including Spain's absolute defensive masterclass against Austria and Portugal's chaotic, VAR-heavy victory over Croatia featuring Cristiano Ronaldo's first-ever knockout stage goal and a dramatic Gonzalo Ramos winner. Finally, the show wraps up with a lightning-round prediction circuit for the next slate of high-stakes fixtures, covering Colombia vs. Ghana, Canada vs. Morocco, and France vs. Paraguay. Christian and Alexis also look ahead to the highly anticipated Brazil vs. Norway match—which they will be attending live at the New York/New Jersey Stadium—before wrapping up with a bold forecast for Mexico vs. England in the grueling heat and elevation of the Azteca.

Thomas Dooley was a critical piece of the US Men's National Team that made it to the knockout stage of the 1994 World Cup. He played every minute of that tournament, then played a vital role on the 98 World Cup team as well. But, born and raised in West Germany to a German mother, Dooley was focused on his aspirations of playing professionally in Germany and then also playing for the German National Team. He never even considered that, because he was born to an American father, he might be eligible to play for the USMNT. Dooley joins Founding Futbol to share how his journey to the USMNT happened almost by accident, but became one of the most fulfilling aspects of his accomplished career. He shares memories of playing in the 94 World Cup, how he knew America's view on the game changed in real time, and much more. Founding Futbol is a year-long exploration of the critical moments that have led to soccer's emerging popularity in America.

Craziness reigns supreme for Bayern Munich and the German national team. While things are finally starting to normalize after nearly a year under Thomas Tuchel for Bayern Munich. The attack looks dangerous, the midfield is controlling games, and the backline has been sturdy. Things...are good. As for the German national team, the more things change (getting rid of some mainstays), the more they stay the same (leaning on some old heads to lead the way). Given all of that, there is plenty to talk about, so let's get to it: Discussing the roster selection. The closer we get to the EUROs, the more there is a strong reason to believe that Julian Nagelsmann is going to show the same self-destructive, impulsive tendencies he sowed at Bayern Munich. What can go right and what can go wrong for Germany during the games against France and the Netherlands. Ranking the best and worst possible draws for Bayern Munich in the Champions League.

Welcome back to another episode of Bad Dads Film Review! Today, we're tackling an iconic blend of sports drama and wartime heroics with the 1981 classic, Escape to Victory.Escape to Victory, directed by John Huston, is a film that intriguingly merges the worlds of World War II POW camps with the beautiful game of football (soccer, for our American friends). The movie is set against the backdrop of Nazi-occupied Europe, where a group of Allied prisoners of war (POWs) are roped into playing an exhibition match against the German National Team. However, the stakes are much higher than just the scoreline.The Plot: A Game for FreedomThe Allied team, led by Colby (Michael Caine), a former professional footballer, and Captain Hatch (Sylvester Stallone), an American officer, quickly realize the match could be a golden opportunity for a daring escape. With the help of the Resistance and some ingenuous planning, the game becomes a thrilling front for one of the most audacious escape plans of the war.What sets Escape to Victory apart is its unique casting, combining Hollywood heavyweights with footballing legends. Sylvester Stallone and Michael Caine share the screen with Pelé, Bobby Moore, and Osvaldo Ardiles, among others, bringing an unparalleled authenticity to the football sequences. The film is a rare treat that captures the spirit of the game and the intensity of the wartime setting.At its core, Escape to Victory is a testament to the power of teamwork, resilience, and the indomitable human spirit. It's a film that celebrates the unifying power of sports and the strategic ingenuity required for survival under the most dire circumstances.So, whether you're a history buff, a football fan, or just in love with classic cinema, Escape to Victory is a compelling watch.Join us on Bad Dads Film Review as we dive deep into this wartime epic, explore its real-life inspirations, and maybe even share a few of our own moments of sporting glory (or lack thereof). It's time to lace up, strategize, and play for the ultimate prize: freedom.

Henri Uhlig recently signed his first pro contract with Alpecin Deceuninck. For the past two years he's been riding for their development team. His season just ended after racing the famed Paris-Tours elite race. So, this interview takes place while he's on vacation. Uhlig told me he's not happy with the season he had. He feels there were way too many wins left on the table. His first race of the season was Gent Wevelgem U23. Uhlig says it was his best day on the bike. He got 3rd in that race.  Uhlig got his first win at the Province Cycling Tour in July on stage 3. He followed that up with another win in the Baltic Chain Tour in August on stage 2. He also won the youth and points classifications in that race.  Uhlig's dad was a racer. He says they held him back from racing but eventually got him a mountain bike and then road bike. His first coach was his dad. He was extremely successful as a junior and amateur. He joined the German National Team when he was a junior. He rode for the Rad-Net Rose Team before joining the Alpecin Deceuninck Devo team. Uhlig says he's always wanted to go pro and signing his contract is a dream come true. He says he's ready to get back to training for the new season.
