The crew looks back at one of the most iconic moments in soccer history: Brandi Chastain’s 1999 Women’s World Cup celebration at the Rose Bowl after scoring the winning penalty kick. With the Men’s National Team practicing at the Great Park in Irvine, Orange County soccer fans are getting a front-row seat to World Cup excitement. But while the hype builds, the U.S. is reportedly lagging behind other host cities in hotel bookings. Then the crew dives into how alcohol brands are going all-in on the 2026 World Cup, hoping beer sales and massive marketing campaigns can help reverse industry slumps. Analysts expect global beer consumption to spike during the tournament, making this one of the biggest drinking events in sports. Later, Conway takes on L.A.’s ongoing problems and asks the big question: what’s the fix? If property taxes are high, shouldn’t the services be great?

In this episode - it's time for the World Cup!  After a brief recap of Nashville's game versus NYCFC, the boys turn their attention fully to the World Cup tournament descending on America this week.  The excitement is palpable, and the boys can barely contain themselves.  The boys reflect on how different the world is now versus the last time the World Cup was in the States back in 1994.  They wonder who will be the superstars to emerge during the tournament - does Messi have one more push left?  Will Mbappe finally deliver?  Is it finally time for Yamal to dominate?  Will an underdog surprise us all?  We're looking at you, Curacao! The boys stroll down memory lane to present their Mount Rushmore of US soccer players, and of course they have a lot of questions about this current US Men's National Team (as do we all).  As always, the boys bring some hot chicken takes before digging into a long list of World Cup superlatives that get increasingly ridiculous, and let's just say no one likes Neymar or Rodrigo De Paul.  Finally, the boys look into their crystal balls to make predictions for the US's first match against Paraguay - let the games begin!

Send us Fan MailThe World Cup is almost here, and my life is about to get loud in the best way: I'm heading to seven matches with FIFA and TikTok as a Creator Correspondent, with access that changes what I can share and where I can share it. That excitement is real, but so is the deeper reason I care about this tournament. When the US Men's National Team takes the field, you see a diverse group that reminds us what it looks like to pull in the same direction, even when the country feels split apart. We also sit with a story that is hard to shake: a Somali FIFA referee, after years of screening and international travel, reportedly lands in Miami and is denied entry for “vetting concerns.” We talk about what that decision costs on a human level, what it suggests about travel bans and bias, and why judging people as individuals matters. For anyone who loves soccer, refereeing, and the integrity of global sport, it's a moment worth examining out loud. Then we get tactical with Huck Sorock from Refer Sports about the biggest hidden problem in youth sports and amateur soccer: referee assigning. We dig into what modern referee assigning software should actually do, from paying officials faster to reducing admin chaos during massive tournaments. We talk AI schedule imports, agentic AI as a productivity multiplier, building an in-app community for training and support, and why retention improves when assigners can spend less time on spreadsheets and more time mentoring refs. If you care about sports officiating, referee retention, and smarter assigning systems, this one is for you. Subscribe for more, share this with an assigner or official who needs better tools, and leave a review so more referees can find the show.Support the show

Die iranische Fussballnationalmannschaft hat ihr Teamhotel ausserhalb der USA, in Mexiko, direkt an der Grenze. Für die Einreise an die WM-Gruppenspiele gelten für die iranische Mannschaft spezielle Regeln und direkt nach den Matches muss sie wieder abreisen.
