The 2026 World Cup is going to be different. Three host nations and 48 participating teams are perhaps the most notable changes to the tournament's format, but, as purveyors of all things soccer culture, one new addition has piqued our interest the most: a Super Bowl-style halftime show during the final. FIFA president Gianni Infantino has called it a "can't-miss event," and many have speculated as to who is the right artist to perform. Including us. On the latest episode of the Urban Pitch Podcast, we go through our picks to headline the landmark performance, from Drake to Taylor Swift and beyond. In addition, we get into some of our favorite kits from America's lower leagues, a conversation spurred by the new Forward Madison home kits that the club was kind enough to send us! Timestamps (01:15) Forward Madison's fantastic approach to lower league soccer (08:54) Our favorite kits from America's lower leagues (15:07) Potential US Open Cup upsets in the round of 32 (21:35) The lawsuit against the USWNT (25:28) Who should perform at the 2026 World Cup Final halftime show?

Jason and Jared are back together to talk about the big happenings in American soccer. Did Borussia Dortmund tell Gio Reyna to find a new club in the summer? The boys take a hard look at the unrealized American talent and try to figure out the best place for him to play. Then Jason and Jared consider the idea of Kevin De Bruyne in MLS and assess which of the four teams linked to the Manchester City midfielder needs him most. After that, BSS gets into the news that Gianni Infantino wants to hold a one-game playoff between LAFC and Club America for the right to join the field of the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup.

Fifa-president Gianni Infantino sê Amerika en die Verenigde Koninkryk is moontlike gasheerlande vir die Vroue-wêreldbeker in 2031 en 2035. Amerika is die enigste land wat gebie het vir die 2031-geleentheid, terwyl Engeland, Skotland, Wallis en Noord-Ierland se bod teen Maandag se sperdatum die enigste geldige een vir die 2035-toernooi was. Infantino sê hulle beplan om die Vroue-wêreldbeker teen 2031 tot 48 spanne uit te brei:
Der frühere Politiker und Bundesminister spricht mit Arnd Zeigler u.a. über den eigenen sportlichen Werdegang, die Fanliebe zu Werder Bremen, absolute Vereinslegenden und Auftritte als "DJ Dosenpfand". Außerdem erklärt Jürgen Trittin unmissverständlich, was er von der immer stärker werdenden Vermarktung des Fußballs und speziell von FIFA-Präsident Gianni Infantino hält. Von Arnd Zeigler.
Welcome in for another edition of the Morning Espresso from the SDH Network, brought to you by Oglethorpe University, Atlanta's premier undergraduate learning experience and soccer powerhouse.An auditor who worked for Barcelona for four days is the only one who included the €100million sale of VIP seating to Middle Eastern investors and now that has been questioned by La Liga, which could lead to Dani Olmo and Pau Victor's registrations being in question. When you think this story is as ridiculous as it could possibly be, the scriptwriters find something else even more ridiculous to add into the mix. In reports filed from the previous auditor, who worked through sometime on December 31, and the unknown auditor who worked from December 31-January 3, and the next auditor who started on January 3 (we think)... only the unknown auditor had the sale included. That sale allowed Barcelona to have the additional salary cap space per La Liga rules to extend Olmo & Victor's registrations into 2025. But that sale either didn't happen, wasn't properly accounted for, or something else because it didn't show up on a subsequent financial report. Lots for the courts, league, and federation to sort out in Spain. And it affects a potential bid for a quadruple from Barcelona who are leading La Liga, won the SuperCopa, alive in the Champions League, and now into the final of the Copa del Rey where they will face Real Madrid. Announced this morning, the bid led by the US (which might or might not include Mexico as a co-host) was the only one submitted by the deadline to host the 2031 Women's World Cup. Gianni Infantino said at the UEFA Congress in Belgrade that other Concacaf nations could be involved in hosting matches, something that has been reported recently here in the US. The 2035 tournament will be hosted by Great Britain as it was the only to submit a bid in time for that event. LAFC beat Inter Miami last night in the first leg of the Concacaf Champions Cup quarterfinal, the first loss for the Herons in 2025 in all competitions. Nathan Ordaz with the goal in the second half, second leg is in Ft. Lauderdale next week. Chattanooga Red Wolves won the penalty shootout across town at Finley Stadium to knock Chattanooga FC out of the Lamar Hunt US Open Cup in the second round in the first ever meeting between the two clubs. Over 12K were on hand for the game, 4th largest crowd in CFC history and their largest in a long time, 2nd largest in the 2nd round in the history of the USOC. Jose Mourinho did another ridiculous thing, which is becoming commonplace for him at this stage of his career. He grabbed the face of the opposing manager after yesterday's Turkish Cup match between his Fenerbahce & Galatasaray. The ridiculous actions seem to come on a bi-weekly basis for Mourinho at this stage, sad after one of the greatest careers for a manager in history but completely inexcusable to act in this manner. Liverpool defeated Everton yesterday 1-0, Everton should have had a player sent off for a horrendous challenge, but Liverpool's goal was controversial as well. Referees got it right according to how the rule is written, but I'm asking IFAB to consider changing the Laws of the Game to account for situations like this. When a pass is made for a player in an offside position, that should make them active in the play, regardless of whether they move for the ball or not. Defenders have to play the ball in that situation because they don't know if the player is offside from their vantage point. The defender shouldn't be punished for playing that ball by that action allowing the offside player to be now in an onside position. Luis Diaz was onside according to the letter of the LOTG, but not the spirit in my opinion and this should be changed going forward in interpretation.
Alexi Lalas and David Mosse shared thoughts on Gianni Infantino's appearance on The Herd, where he discussed the world's view on American soccer, growth of the game, U.S. Soccer's “golden era” and more. Following the USMNT's uninspiring performance at the CONCACAF Nations League, many unanswered questions remained about the squad and Starting XI. The guys made a list of players they see breaking into the lineup come World Cup 2026. This weekend in Europe, Johnny Cardoso faces off against Lamine Yamal's Barcelona. Christian Pulisic and Yunus Musah take on Fiorentina at home, desperate for three points. Weston McKennie and Tim Weah match up against red hot Roma, unbeaten in Serie A through 2025. Antonee Robinson looks for a big victory over Liverpool on Sunday. Also this weekend stateside, the CONCACAF Champions Cup rolls on with LAFC and Inter Miami on FOX. (4:00) Alexi and Mosse answer questions on the idea of changing the penalty rule and Eurosnobs on USMNT. To wrap the podcast the guys break down Tyler Adams for pro/rel.

Was geht eigentlich gerade beim FC Schaffhausen ab? Wird es nun für Murat Yakin ungemütlich? Und droht demnächst ein Zerwürfnis zwischen der UEFA und der FIFA? Der Lieblingspodcast von Gianni Infantino ist zurück.
Alexi Lalas and David Mosse kick off today's show off with the announcement of USMNT's June friendlies. The squad is set to face off against two big European opponents, Switzerland and Turkiye, ahead of the CONCACAF Gold Cup. Also in Europe, Christian Pulisic had a big weekend and saved the day for AC Milan. He scored two goals in eight minutes to equalize and win the match over Lecce. Juventus suffered a major loss at home and nearly ended all hopes of a league title. Josh Sargent struck again, scoring his twelfth goal of the season for Norwich City. Tyler Adams has also been in great form since returning from injury, earning Bournemouth's February Player of the Month Award. Sergino Dest looks to make a similar impact on the pitch for PSV as he makes his official return from an ACL tear. UEFA Champions League and CONCACAF Champions Cup round of 16 leg 2 continue this week with many great matchups on deck.

It's Thursday, January 30th, A.D. 2025. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 125 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com. I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Jonathan Clark and Adam McManus Pastor in India and wife face five years in prison for evangelizing Last Wednesday, officials in India convicted a Christian couple for evangelizing the Dalit community. Members of the community are known as the “untouchables,” representing the lowest stratum of the country's caste system. Officials charged Pastor Jose Pappachan and his wife, Sheeja, with violating the Uttar Pradesh Prohibition of Unlawful Religious Conversion Act. They now face five years in prison and the equivalent of hundreds of dollars in fines. International Christian Concern notes, “Dalits are socially, economically, and historically marginalized communities predominantly in India. Traditionally, the Dalits have easily embraced Christianity to escape the repressive caste system.” Chilean lawmakers commit to oppose abortion Last Tuesday, lawmakers in Chile signed a Commitment for Life document, reports Evangelical Focus. Members of several different parties signed the document in response to the government considering a law to legalize abortion. Parliamentarian Mauro González said, “We are a large majority that defends life, and we will continue to advocate for the ethical, moral and Christian principles that are part of our essence and culture.” Blackhawk helicopter collides with American Airlines jet over Potomac River In the United States, on Wednesday evening around 9:00pm ET, an American Airlines Eagle passenger jet, and an Army Blackhawk helicopter collided and crashed into the Potomac River near Reagan National Airport, reports NBC News. Flight 5342 from Wichita, Kansas had 64 people aboard and the helicopter carried three soldiers. One eyewitness made reference to the American Airlines flight, calling it a CRJ, which means Canadian Regional Jet. Listen. EYEWITNESS: “The accident happened in the river. Both the helicopter and the plane crashed in the river east of the end of runway 33. It was probably out in the middle of the river. I just saw a fireball, and then it was just gone. So, I haven't seen anything since they hit the river. But it was a CRJ [Canadian Regional Jet] and a helicopter that hit, I would say, maybe a half mile off the approach end of [runway] 33.” At least four people have been recovered and were rushed to hospitals. A frantic search to find crash victims in the river was underway within minutes. Last night, the temperature of the Potomac River was 35 degrees Fahrenheit. At 35 degrees, the human body core temperature quickly drops and exhaustion, hypothermia, and unconsciousness can occur in as little as 15 to 30 minutes. At 9:15pm, Reagan Airport announced, “All takeoffs and landings have been halted.” Trump ensures gov't won't fund transgender surgeries for kids In the United States, President Donald Trump issued an executive order on Tuesday entitled, “Protecting Children from Chemical and Surgical Mutilation.” The order keeps the federal government from funding transgender drugs and surgeries for people under the age of 19. The order states, “Across the country today, medical professionals are maiming and sterilizing a growing number of impressionable children under the radical and false claim that adults can change a child's sex through a series of irreversible medical interventions. This dangerous trend will be a stain on our Nation's history, and it must end.” In Mark 10:6, Jesus said, “But from the beginning of the creation, God ‘made them male and female.'" Trump confronts Bank of America CEO over debanking conservatives President Trump addressed the World Economic Forum being held in Davos, Switzerland last week. And he didn't pull any punches. Trump made comments via remote video from Washington, D.C. In one comment, he rebuked major financial institutions for “debanking” conservatives and faith groups. Trump specifically called out Bank of America CEO Brian Moynihan and JPMorgan Chase CEO Jamie Dimon. TRUMP: “I hope you start opening your bank to conservatives because many conservatives complain that the banks are not allowing them to do business within the bank, and that included a place called Bank of America. They don't take conservative business. I don't know if the regulators mandated that because of Biden or what. But you and Jamie and everybody, I hope you're going to open your banks to conservatives, because what you're doing is wrong.” After several awkward seconds, Brian Moynihan, the CEO of Bank of America, offered the king of all non sequiturs, failing to address Trump's direct concern at all. MOYNIHAN: “Mr. President, I'll say that your friend Gianni [Infantino] said hello, told me to tell you hello, and we look forward to sponsoring the World Cup when it comes both this summer for the club and next year. So, thank you for getting that for the United States.” A prominent example of such “debanking” was Chase Bank's decision to close the account of The National Committee for Religious Freedom in 2022. Trump looks to cut $100 billion through federal workforce The Trump administration is offering buyouts to federal workers to shrink the size of the government. Ahead of planned downsizing, the administration is offering federal employees to voluntarily resign by February 6. They would still receive pay through September. The administration expects 5-10% of the federal workforce to quit. This would save around $100 billion. American kids less competent in reading The National Center for Education Statistics released their latest report card for the U.S. American kids are still growing less competent in their reading skills and have made little progress in math. This continues the decline of academic results since school closures during the COVID-19 pandemic. The report also highlights a growing divide between higher- and lower-performing students with the gap being wider than ever. Nondenominational churches increasing and growing And finally, most U.S. denominations are experiencing decline, but nondenominational Protestant churches are on the rise. Nearly 35% of American Protestants identified as nondenominational in 2022, up from less than 3% in the early 1970s. Also, the number of nondenominational churches increased by nearly 9,000 over the last decade. This growth comes despite the number of practicing Christians being on the decline in the U.S. Professor Ed Stetzer, the former head of Lifeway Research group told The Washington Times, “The percentage of practicing Christians is declining, but those who remain tend to create a more serious expression of their faith. . . . Millennials and Gen Z Christians, in particular, are showing signs of greater commitment, even as they navigate a cultural landscape where being religious sometimes comes with a price.” In Matthew 16:24, Jesus said, “If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow Me.” Close And that's The Worldview on this Thursday, January 30th, in the year of our Lord 2025.

Der ehemalige Bundesanwalt Michael Lauber ist neuer Sprecher der christkatholischen Kirche, der kleinsten Schweizer Landeskirche. Wieso macht er das? Lauber trat im Sommer 2020 unter grossem medialen und politischen Druck zurück. Mit etwas Abstand: Was bereut er heute? Michael Lauber war Bundesanwalt. Nun wird er Sprecher der christkatholischen Kirche. Das ist die kleinste Schweizer Landeskirche. Wie erklärt er diesen Schritt? Lauber war zwischen 2012 und 2020 als Bundesanwalt Amtsleiter der Schweizerischen Bundesanwaltschaft. Er trat im Sommer 2020 von seinem Amt zurück und kam so einem Amtsenthebungsverfahren zuvor. Lauber war wegen nicht deklarierten Treffen mit Fifa-Präsident Gianni Infantino in die Kritik geraten. Wie blickt er auf diese schlagzeilenträchtige Zeit zurück?

En Ahora o Nunca, la mesa analiza el amistoso entre México y Estados Unidos y tras señalar que una victoria ayudaría a calmar el ambiente tóxico alrededor de la selección mexicana, discuten por qué resulta dífícil creerle a Javier Aguirre que no le han impuesto jugadores en sus dos etapas previas al frente del Tri. Por otro lado, y ya con la novela protagonizada por Fernando Gago en el pasado, la mesa hace su ranking de candidatos para dirigir a las Chivas y entre las opciones que manejan están las del Tuca, actual analista de ESPN y quien ya dirigió en su carrera al club rojiblanco, Matías Almeyda, quien llevó al Rebaño Sagrado a ganar su último título de Liga MX, y, aunque usted no lo crea, Miguel Herrera.
