Carl and Mark get into some World Cup discussion as they share thoughts on the overall tournament and the state of the USMNT and recent comments by Landon Donovan in which he blamed the cost of playing soccer in America being a reason the USMNT does not have elite talent. As they discuss, Carl and Mark agree that Donovan's comments are more of an excuse and the USMNT not being good in soccer is not related to finances.

Carl and Mark are joined by Mike Conti as they continue their discussion on the comments by Landon Donovan in regards to the cost of playing organized youth soccer in America is a main reason for elite talent not making it through to the USMNT. As their conversation continues, Mike explains he believes economics are not a reason for the talent of the USMNT not being as talented as what is seen for other national teams and notes he believes soccer is starting to be developed at an early level across the country.

They then get into some Georgia talk as they discuss what areas they believe Georgia has to be better in this season in order to win a national title.

Carl and Mark close out the show with final thoughts on the comments by Landon Donovan in which he stated he believes the cost of youth/club soccer is partially behind why elite talent never makes it to the USMNT. 

In the 2nd hour of today's show, Dukes and Mark Zinno react to Landon Donovan's assessment of youth soccer costs and discuss why the U.S. Men's National Team is the Wake Forest of international soccer.

Hello!This week, we have back on our World Cup and War Correspondent Patrick Hultgren to talk about sportswashing, why the USMNT hasn't traditionally captured the public's imagination, at least when compared to the women's team, youth soccer in America and what Landon Donovan said, and the politics of patriotism about a sport we claim we don't care about all that much in the States.

The World Cup is in full swing, and if you're watching, you know – the intensity and stakes are unlike anything else in sports.  So it's the perfect time to sit down with Landon Donovan, who is widely regarded as one of the greatest American soccer players of all time. But after a disappointing performance in the 2006 World Cup, he nearly walked away from the sport entirely.  That crisis taught him a powerful leadership lesson: you can't make your job your whole identity. And that insight – alongside some therapy – gave him the freedom to be his best, both on the field and off it.  The lines between our professional and personal identities can get blurry, especially for leaders. If you make your job your whole identity, it can lead to burnout, fear of failure, or worse.  Landon's candor and fresh perspective can show you a different way.  This episode is for you if: You've questioned your own self-worth after a professional disappointment You've struggled with burnout (or coached someone who has) You want to create more accountability in your company culture You avoid conflict when it arises You love sports, especially soccer, or just appreciate a good story Take your learning further. Get proven leadership advice from these (free!) resources: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠The How Leaders Lead App⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠: A vast library of 90-second leadership lessons to stay sharp on the go  ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Daily Insight Emails⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠: One small (but powerful!) leadership principle to focus on each day Whichever you choose, you can be sure you'll get the trusted leadership advice you need to advance your career, develop your team, and grow your business.

In today's edition of Hollywood's Headlines, the guys react to the wild aftermath of the Knicks' championship celebration, including viral moments involving OG Anunoby appearing impaired on Good Morning America and Mikal Bridges going live on Instagram with shocking comments about the team's postseason rules and a reportedly chaotic locker room culture under James Dolan's ownership. The conversation also highlights how likable this Knicks roster was during their title run despite the off-court buzz. From there, the focus shifts to the business side of the World Cup, where hydration breaks have turned into massive advertising opportunities, with FOX reportedly charging hundreds of thousands per 30-second spots and generating hundreds of millions in ad revenue. The segment wraps with former USMNT star Landon Donovan calling out United Airlines over a frustrating travel experience, sparking a public back-and-forth after the airline responded asking him to take the issue offline.

Hour 2 opens with discussion around Brendan Sorsby's decision to enter the NFL Supplemental Draft, with Joe calling it the right move while the guys debate which teams could take a chance on him, including the Cowboys and Dolphins. The conversation centers on whether Sorsby is worth the risk despite alleged off-field concerns, including gambling issues, and if he can be viewed as a low-risk, high-reward prospect or more of a potential distraction that NFL teams may want to avoid. The guys also touch on the Dolphins releasing Kion Smith and broader roster turnover, along with comparisons to past league situations involving players with similar controversies.
