The full episode of Atlanta Soccer Tonight with Jason Longshore from Thursday, 06/25/26.

Jason Longshore takes you through the first day of Matchday 3 at the 2026 World Cup. Madison Crews joins to discuss Morocco's win over Haiti in Atlanta. Groups A, B, and C are now complete and the USMNT will close out Group D tomorrow night.

Mike Johnson, Ali Mac, and Beau Morgan spend some time with Atlanta United Color Analyst & Host of Atlanta Soccer Tonight Jason Longshore! Mike Ali, Beau, and Jason discuss if Jason would rather wear the viral Bank of America 2026 FIFA World Cup charm bracelet or the Magic City hoodie from what was supposed to be Magic City Night last season for the Atlanta Hawks, just how much of the 2026 FIFA World Cup Jason has been watching, what's on the line between Haiti and Morocco this evening in their World Cup match here in Atlanta, what happened with England in their scoreless draw with Ghana yesterday in their Group L World Cup match, and if Jason thinks Lionel Messi is going to run away with the Golden Boot award or if there are other players still in the running for it.

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.

Jason Longshore breaks down a wild Sunday at the 2026 FIFA World Cup. Spain answered every critic with a 4-0 rout of Saudi Arabia in Atlanta, and Mikel Oyarzabal became just the second player on record since 1966 to register three goal involvements in the opening 25 minutes of a World Cup match. In Miami, Cabo Verde refused to fold against Uruguay, drawing 2-2 to stay unbeaten and put a Senegal 2002 history book entry on notice. Plus Japan eliminating Tunisia in the 1,000th match in World Cup history, Belgium's stunning scoring drought, and Iran sitting top of Group G. Looking ahead to Monday's slate with Messi and Argentina, Mbappé's 100th cap and his MLS comments, Norway versus Senegal, and a Jordan-Algeria elimination feel. Plus the trends shaping this tournament, from the USMNT's pressing identity to the substitute goal explosion. Closing with the 3-4-3.

Live from the patio at McCray's Tavern on the Atlanta Beltline, Jason Longshore breaks down a statement 2-0 win for the USA over Australia that locks up a Round of 32 spot with a group match still to play. He walks through how both goals went in, an own goal forced by Folarin Balogun and a header from Alex Freeman confirmed after a lengthy VAR review, plus the underlying numbers behind a performance that didn't miss a beat without an injured Christian Pulisic. Madison Crews joins from her own watch party to give her read on the win, postgame clips from Mauricio Pochettino cover what he's seen from Freeman and Ricardo Pepi, and Jason checks in live on Scotland vs Morocco, where Ismael Saibari put Morocco in front. Plus, previews of tonight's Brazil vs Haiti and a near elimination match between Türkiye and Paraguay that could shape the rest of Group D, the USA's projected path through the knockout rounds, and the 3-4-3 to close out the show.

Jason and Madison dig into how Cabo Verde's defensive discipline neutralized Spain's possession, what the Spanish press is saying about the result, and why Vozinha's story, complete with a name inspired by a Brazilian World Cup legend, is one of the best of this tournament so far. Plus, Belgium needed a bizarre own goal off Romelu Lukaku's bench impact to draw Egypt, Saudi Arabia's goalkeeper stole a point off Uruguay, and Iran and New Zealand put on an instant classic. All four matches on the day ended in draws, the first time that has happened at a World Cup in 68 years.

The 2026 FIFA World Cup kicks off tomorrow, and Atlanta Soccer Tonight spends the eve of the tournament soaking it all in. Jason Longshore opens with a love letter to Atlanta, tracing the city's soccer history from the Atlanta Chiefs in 1967 through the 1996 Olympics to the moment the world arrives at Mercedes-Benz Stadium. Clips from Georgia State coaches Ed Joyce and Brett Surrency and Atlanta United director of methodology Javier Pérez set the tone, along with a conversation with two-time World Cup referee Matthew Conger on what it takes to officiate on the biggest stage. Then Kevin Egan, voice of MLS on Apple TV, joins the show fresh off a busy World Cup week. He's hosting the FIFA Fan Festival at Centennial Olympic Park and co-owns the Irish Exit, opening this weekend in Centennial Yards. Kevin shares his World Cup picks, with a potential negative surprise, gives two players to watch, and picks ______ to lift the trophy (no spoilers here, listen to the episode). Jason closes with the 3-4-3: three surprise teams, four players who will define the tournament, and his predictions for top three finishers in this summer's tournament. Stoppage Time goes deep on group-by-group rooting interests, a full schedule breakdown for the opening weekend, and a few packs of Panini stickers to send everyone off right.

Plus, Colombia looked sharp against Jordan, Croatia bounced back with a Modrić masterclass against Slovenia, the Netherlands needed two Gakpo penalties to escape Uzbekistán, and France got a Michael Olise hat trick in a 3-1 win over Northern Ireland while their defensive numbers keep trending the wrong way. In the 3-4-3 presented by Ford: the three tallest players at the World Cup, Jim Curtin heads to Austin FC, Jurriën Timber is officially out for the Netherlands, encouraging news on Neymar, and Scotland creates a mess with Norway before the tournament even starts.

Jason Longshore joins Chris Thomas Tonight to discuss a tough 2-1 loss to LA Galaxy

Ted Turner died today at 87. The tributes will celebrate CNN, the Braves, the superstation that changed American television, and the America's Cup. All of it is deserved. But there is a soccer chapter in his legacy that belongs to Atlanta specifically, and it is not making it into the obituaries. In 1978, Turner quietly invested $1.5 million to bring professional soccer back to Atlanta. He denied any involvement to the press while his lawyers were already filing the partnership paperwork with the NASL. The league voted 22 to 2 to block the deal because they were terrified of his superstation. He educated them, won the unanimous approval two months later, and funded the Atlanta Chiefs for three seasons. He was right about soccer. The market just needed four decades to catch up. Jason Longshore tells the full story today, drawing on legal documents from Dick Cecil's archived papers at Emory University and a conversation with Chiefs broadcaster and GM Terry Hanson, in this special tribute edition of Off The Woodwork. Rest well, Ted. Atlanta soccer owes you more than it knows.

Carlos Bocanegra joins Jason Longshore to talk about Atlanta FC, his new boutique youth club built on a model American youth soccer rarely sees: one team per age group, one dedicated coach per team, and a family-first environment where parents get the training session plan after every practice and are welcome at team talks. Bocanegra talks about why he stopped playing soccer for nine months in high school because of a bad coaching experience, why the late bloomer is the player most at risk in the current system, and what he hopes Atlanta FC can do to start changing the culture of youth development nationally. Jason adds context on the staff: Liam Curran, nine years at Atlanta United and currently working with U.S. Youth National Teams, as Director of Goalkeeping, and Dr. Ryan Alexander, founding High Performance Director at Atlanta United, in the same role at Atlanta FC. Tryouts are May 18 through 20 at Oglethorpe University in Brookhaven. More at atlantafootballclub.com. Then it's What's On Tap, sponsored by Michelob Ultra, official beer sponsor of FIFA World Cup 26. Arsenal are going to Budapest for their first Champions League final in 20 years. Jason breaks down the most statistically dominant European campaign any English club has put together in the modern format, what Mikel Arteta has had to manage to get there, and why dismissing the PSG-Bayern first leg as poorly defended is the wrong take entirely. Preview of tomorrow's second leg in Munich, where Bayern need two goals and both managers have said neither team is coming to defend. The 3-4-3, brought to you by Ford, closes the show. Local stories cover the AU2 road win over Carolina Core, the full boys high school quarterfinal bracket with all four classifications, and the girls semifinal picture including Model's 6-0 win in Rome with Emily Gentry's first-half hat trick. Four headlines: Arsenal's Premier League title door opens wider after City drop points against Everton, the Neymar assault allegation at Santos involving Robinho Jr., Mourinho extension talks accelerating at Benfica with Real Madrid circling and a ten-day release clause window approaching, and Hearts three points clear of Celtic with three matches left chasing the first Scottish title by a club outside the Old Firm since Sir Alex Ferguson's Aberdeen in 1985. Three smile stories: the Rosario Central dog who turned out to belong to a Newell's Old Boys family, Cooper Sanchez getting better every single match and deserving national attention he is not getting, and the crowd in Rome for Model's state quarterfinal win.

Atlanta United have won three in a row across two competitions, and Jason Longshore breaks down how each win came in a different way, the gritty Toronto result, the controlled Open Cup win in Charlotte, and the comeback against Montreal that showed a team with a new level of confidence and connection. The schedule ahead: LA Galaxy on Saturday, then three road matches before the World Cup break. Then Jason pulls from the Josh Blank media roundtable at the Arthur M. Blank Foundation: why the fan festival at Centennial Olympic Park may matter more for long-term fandom than the matches themselves, what AMBSE controls when FIFA controls ticket pricing, the '96 Olympics as the benchmark for what 2026 can do for Atlanta's global brand, the Spain connection across both soccer and business, and what MLS has to solve before the 2029 media rights negotiation. The segment closes with the full NWSL build: where the franchise stands on hiring, what the fall brand reveal means for the runway to 2028, the Georgia player pipeline already in place, and why Josh Blank says this launch is being built more intentionally than Atlanta United was from the start.

Jason Longshore is in on a Monday night ahead of a US Open Cup match with Charlotte FC after a much needed win in Toronto. Atlanta United wins in Toronto!

Plus, we enter Noel's World for the first time on AST as she asks Jason his opinion on Lamine Yamal's injury ahead of the World Cup as well as checking out adidas' “Bringback” jersey collection. Have adidas been listening to Jason and Noel?

On this episode of Atlanta Soccer Tonight, Jason Longshore digs into Atlanta United's biggest problem right now: a lack of attacking threat. He breaks down the loss to Nashville, what Tata Martino and Cooper Sanchez had to say, and why the first goal against New England could define the night at Mercedes-Benz Stadium. Plus, Columbus officially joins Atlanta in the NWSL for 2028, Jason looks at what that means for the league and how the two markets have handled the moment differently, and he makes the case that coaches across the sport take too much blame and not enough credit. The show also includes an MLS whiparound with San Jose, Vancouver, Inter Miami, and more.
