Politisch sind die USA und Mexiko zerstritten – fussballtechnisch aber bilden sie einen gemeinsamen Markt. Lagebild einer nicht ganz einfachen Partnerschaft. Wenn die mexikanische Nationalmannschaft spielt, dann ist die Stimmung meistens richtig aufgeheizt. Die Fans reisen schon Stunden vorher an – sie feiern, campen und grillieren und vor dem Stadion. Die mexikanischen Fans tun das nicht nur zu Hause, sondern auch in den USA: Mehrmals pro Jahr trägt die Nationalmannschaft nämlich Spiele in amerikanischen NHL-Stadien aus. Gerade im Süden der USA haben Millionen Menschen mexikanische Wurzeln. Der Fussball eigne sich wunderbar, um die Verbundenheit mit der alten Heimat emotional auszuleben, sagt der Fussballjournalist Ronny Blaschke. Natürlich stehen auch finanzielle Interessen dahinter: Zuschauer bezahlen in den USA drei bis viermal soviel wie in Mexico City. In dieser Folge von «NZZ Akzent» erklärt Blaschke, wie die mexikanische Community den Fussball in den USA prägt und warum Spieler mit Doppelbürgerschaft in einem Dilemma stecken.

Hey, soccer fans! Time to pivot to World Cup coverage and analysis! Nick starts with a breakdown of the roster as selected by head coach of the USMNT, Mauricio Pochettino. Stars like Christian Pulisic, Weston McKennie, and Tyler Adams are no surprise, but the inclusion of Tim Ream, Cristian Roldan, and Max Arfsten have people questioning their value and role on the team. Omissions of Diego Luna and Zavier Gozo also had people raising eyebrows. Tune in to hear Nick's takes on all the news surrounding the squad. Nick also gets into a discussion about Chicago Fire goalkeeper Chris Brady's selection to the team. There is no doubt Brady deserves the call-up, but can he compete for minutes with Matt Turner and Matt Freese? Also, we look at Brady's recent fine from Major League Soccer for embellishment, and Nick asks the difficult question if Brady is getting a bad reputation from the officials. Don't forget to go back and check out Nick's conversation with American soccer legend, Clint Mathis, in a prior episode. Tune in and join the conversation!

It was an inauspicious ending to a 15-game sprint that saw the Galaxy both up and down, good and bad, offense and defense, and everything in between. On today's show, hosts Josh Guesman and Kevin Baxter (from the East Coast) talk about the Galaxy's draw with Houston, but more importantly, what the FIFA World Cup Break will look like and why the Galaxy should be among the movers in the transfer window. There are a lot of things that need to happen in a short period of time for the Galaxy to come out of this six-week break better than when they went in. Let's talk about it! -- Corner of the Galaxy is kicking off Season 18, just a few shows past number 1,280! And we can't wait to show you everything we've got in store for 2026!

As MLS pauses for the World Cup, we'll give our takes on the weekend's loss to LAFC, then revisit the letter grades we handed out for the Seattle Sounders' strikers, midfielders, defenders, goalkeepers, and coaching staff a few weeks ago and update them. Who's improved, who's slipped, and have any of our assessments changed based on the challenging last few weeks? We'll also react to The Guardian leak confirming Cristian Roldan on the USMNT roster (cue the meltdown from the USMNT bots and haters) and run through Pochettino's full squad and debate whether this group actually has a shot to perform at the World Cup.Follow Lobbing Scorchers: YouTube Instagram Bluesky TikTok Facebook Ari Liljenwall Noah Riffe Niko MorenoSPONSORSQED Coffee - a Seattle based roaster, coffee shop and coffee subscription service.

Today is our final podcast for the month of May looking at mental and spiritual health. Today, from the Gospel of Mark 5:1-20, we see the fragile mental state of a man besieged with demons. Jesus heals him. During the podcast we look at the condition of the man and contemplate how often times we dismiss stories like this as fantastical and too amazing to maybe even be true; however, the truth is that many of us are driven into dark, isolating places with our own “demons” (spiritual or not). While the posture of the people from the surrounding towns looks promising, the resources offered in the past aren’t really restorative of helpful, only the power of Jesus can truly heal the man. We need this power in our own lives, today. From the Touchline is a short-feature podcast with Rev Brad Kenney, Founder and Executive Director of Soccer Chaplains United and Volunteer Chaplain to the Colorado Rapids of Major League Soccer. Rev Brad and occasional guests touch on various issues around the topics of faith, family, and football (soccer).

Hey, soccer fans! Nick is back talking Chicago Fire after a short hiatus - for all good things. Tune in as he gives a survey of the Men in Red's recent three-game win streak, identifying trends in tactics and performance, discussing the players that stepped up during the run, and what needs to continue into the second half of the Major League Soccer season. Nick also takes a deep dive into the Fire's schedule, noting the increase in difficulty. The team will have to face better MLS competition, a rigorous travel schedule, Leagues Cup, and a congested schedule. They'll have to rely on the lessons learned so far this season to maintain their spot among the top teams of the Eastern Conference. Don't forget to go back and check out Nick's conversation with American soccer legend, Clint Mathis, in the last episode. Tune in and join the conversation!

Are we really looking at a "golden generation"? Do others see it that way?Defining Success & The Post-World Cup Horizon: Is a Round of 16 exit an objective failure for this generation?

Brian stepped up to coach his 7-year-old daughter's soccer team to save their season, but there's one major catch: he's never actually played the sport. Now battling imposter syndrome and the pressure of intense parental expectations, he feels completely overwhelmed. On this episode of How To!, we bring on former Major League Soccer goalkeeper Jeff Attinella to demystify the art of youth coaching. They discuss the growing problem of early sports specialization and why keeping kids moving is far more important than mastering complex rules. Jeff walks Brian through a foolproof 45-minute practice structure, explains why faking your confidence is essential on the sidelines, and shares a genius "Simon Says" hack for regaining the attention of easily distracted seven-year-olds.
