Nuova analisi sul Milan tra calciomercato, panchina e gestione societaria.In questo video parliamo della possibile pista David Alaba, dei dubbi legati alle sue condizioni fisiche, del ruolo di Ralf Rangnick, del momento di Zlatan Ibrahimović e delle polemiche intorno a Rafael Leão.Spazio anche al futuro della panchina rossonera con Oliver Glasner, Mauricio Pochettino e la necessità di capire se al Milan serva solo un nuovo allenatore oppure una rivoluzione più profonda.Nel finale focus sulle voci di mercato: Mateta, Santiago Gimenez e possibili scenari in Serie A.

Expectations have never been higher for the USMNT, and the crew isn't holding back. Josh labels this roster the "Golden Generation," arguing it is the most talented squad the U.S. has ever fielded, with a core group of stars like Christian Pulisic and Weston McKennie playing at the highest levels in Europe.   The episode handicaps Group A, where the U.S. faces Turkey, Paraguay, and Australia. While the group seems "doable," the guys debate the high ceiling of a semifinal run versus the floor of a disappointing early exit. With new coach Mauricio Pochettino at the helm, it's time to see if the U.S. can finally leverage home-field advantage to reach the promised land.

Jason Longshore and Noel White team up for a full Intersection crossover edition of Atlanta Soccer Tonight, one week before the 2026 FIFA World Cup kicks off. The show breaks down what the US 3-0 win over Senegal revealed about Mauricio Pochettino's squad, which teams in Group D pose the biggest threat to the US, and the Matt Turner vs. Matt Freese goalkeeper debate heading into Saturday's match against Germany. Jason and Noel dig into the best kits of the tournament, from Japan and Mexico to the US home and away, plus the Adidas Originals x Thrasher Argentina collab and Jordan Brand's work with Brazil. The Three-Four-Three covers the three youngest players in the tournament, Liverpool's new manager Andoni Iriola, Japan's training camp drama in Monterrey, the wild ongoing saga of John Textor and Botafogo, and the visa situation that nearly kept Switzerland striker Breel Embolo out of the World Cup. Stoppage time goes deep on Atlanta's World Cup infrastructure, the NWSL's opportunity this summer, the legacy of the 1994 World Cup, and the very important question of what an Atlanta NWSL team should be called.

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.
