In this emotional and packed episode of Cooligans Daily Live, Christian Polanco and Alexis Guerreros break down the devastating aftermath of the USMNT's early exit from the World Cup following a crushing defeat against Belgium. The guys dive deep into the mixed post-match reactions from the squad, parsing Christian Pulisic's controversial, nonchalant injury comments against Tim Ream's raw, tearful vulnerability. They debate whether Pulisic truly possesses the leadership qualities and emotional relatability required of "Captain America" after a highly disappointing tournament performance where he failed to register a single shot on target. Sparks fly as Alexis and Christian clash over whether this tournament cycle actually showed marketable progress for U.S. Soccer. While Christian finds pride in the team's tactical control against opponents like Paraguay and Australia, Alexis argues that bowing out at the Round of 16 represents a complete stagnation of the program. The hosts review the roster to highlight their tournament standouts—praising Folarin Balogun's defensive evolution and Malik Tillman's breakout performances—while heavily criticizing a shaky backline and an unsettled goalkeeping situation under Mauricio Pochettino. Beyond the national team, the guys catch up on blockbuster domestic news as Gotham FC announces their official stadium move to Queens at Etihad Park alongside NYCFC. Turning back to global tournament action, they dissect the biggest international storylines, including Germany's shocking penalty shootout exit to Paraguay, Roberto Martinez's questionable tactical reliance on Cristiano Ronaldo for Portugal, and a wild geopolitical controversy surrounding a phone call between Donald Trump and FIFA's Gianni Infantino. Finally, they check in on the blistering Golden Boot race featuring Kylian Mbappé, Erling Haaland, and Lionel Messi.

On Monday, Philadelphia Union II took on Côte d'Ivoire at Subaru Park in the African nation's final tune-up before the start of its World Cup campaign. Philadelphia Union II welcomed Cavan Sullivan back to the second team for the first time since 2025. The match also saw former Union II players and current college standouts Jojo Elliott (Delaware), Henry Bernstein (Maryland), Gavin Wetsel (Pittsburgh), and Daniel Krueger (Wake Forest) return to the fold. Most notably, however, the match marked the return of former Philadelphia Union midfielder Anthony Fontana to Subaru Park for the first time since 2021, when the Union lost 2–1 to NYCFC in the Eastern Conference Final. Todd and José are joined by Anthony Fontana to discuss Jim Curtin to Austin FC, Fontana's experience training with Union II over the past few weeks, playing in his first match at Subaru Park since 2021, what he hopes his next move is in his career, and the 2026 World Cup. Jim Curtin announced as next Austin FC coach: [4:07] Union II vs Ivory Coast: How the opportunity came about for Fontana: [23:25] Impressions of Union II / mentoring the younger players: [29:24] Walking out onto the field for the first time since 2021: [38:24] Being a captain while on the field: [52:50] Reaction to the applause when subbing in: [56:42] 2026 World Cup: Four former Philadelphia Union players in World Cup squad: [1:09:52] People criticizing Paxten Aaronson's move back to MLS: [1:15:15] Difficulties of transfers: [1:21:57] Fan appreciation for Fontana: [1:31:13]       Social Media: Twitter: @FreeKickPod Instagram: @FreeKickPod Facebook: @FreeKickPod YouTube: The Free Kick https://thefreekick.substack.com/   Jose's Social Media: Twitter: @JoserNunez91 https://nunezj.substack.com/   José and Anthony's catch up last year   Anthony's social media: Instagram: @fontana.99

FIFA Cash Grab 2026 As the world waits with baited breath for the first whistle in the Men’s World Cup for 2026 the chaos around ticket prices continues. This week Mike Allen, J.R. diBart and Mike Anderer talk about NYCFC season ticket contracts, the NBA finals and the World Cup fever embracing NYC.

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! And they drink beer.

In this episode of the Designated Players Podcast, the guys are back and this week we continue our coverage of the World Cup! This week we are making our predictions for the 2026 World Cup!

Can We Just Forget That Last Week Even Happened? Many MLS fans are still trying to figure out how to process a two month long break in the middle of the season. Most NYCFC fans had high expectations for this past week. A chance to advance to the semi-finals of the US Open Cup. A chance to change the narrative that the club never took the competition seriously. Pascal Jansen previously had said himself that the tournament was a great way to win a trophy. But after conceding the lone goal of the match in the 59th minute, NYCFC appeared to clean house and rest players for the next MLS match. If some NYCFC fans were not sure how to feel about the break, the last two matches will make you want to forget about the club for a while. This week Mike Anderer, Mike Allen and J.R. give their best takes on how NYCFC fell so low in such a short amount of time.

Get Well Soon, Maxi The hectic schedule for NYCFC continues. A midweek clash in Charlotte followed by a derby game on Saturday all leading up to a tough Quarterfinal coming up on Wednesday. It feels as if Jansen has the team running on fumes going into the World Cup break. This week the guys talk about the injury that saw Maxi Moralez leave the field on Saturday and the return of Malachi Jones to a more prominent role in the squad.

YEEEERRR!! We're back with a fun one as we look back at a great derby match and coming away with a result! we also give some thoughts on the unfortunate Maxi injury that may see him play his last match with us. #yktfv #nycfc 

In this episode of the Designated Players Podcast, we continue our series where we retell the stories of MLS history. We've gone through all the team's subreddits and asked for different stories they remember about their teams, and we've got a list of almost all of them. We are going to do our research and then come together to retell everyone about those stories and give them the spotlight they deserve.

Charlotte FC finally got back to winning ways Saturday, taking down Toronto FC 3-1 at the Bank. But before that were two lackluster results – a draw with FC Cincinnati and a lackluster 1-0 loss to NYCFC. This week on the show, Matt, David and Corey spend most of their time breaking down the Toronto match but they don't overlook the issues we saw in the other two matches. Topics include: When things aren't going well, is it Dean Smith (and tactics and lineups) or is it the players?What was different about the Toronto match compared to the previous two?What needs to happen in the summer transfer window?And David compares himself Tim Ream and Ashley Westwood and shares his most recent heat map.--Want to get into our Discord to discuss all the matches this season, get access to the Secret Show and ask us questions for upcoming episodes? ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Support us on Patreon⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ for just a few bucks to get access to that and more.Patreon:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ https://www.patreon.com/MintCitySoccerShow

In this episode, the boys celebrate another incredible week for Nashville Soccer Club.  They highlight how the team notched their 100th victory, and Hany Mukhtar - in the middle of a hat trick versus LAFC - scored his 100th goal for the team.  They also show much love for maybe America's greatest goalkeeper, Brian Schwake, as well as unexpected deep bench hero, Brian Acosta.  And while the boys are certainly not fans of parking tickets, they aren't afraid - just like the boys in gold, who haven't feared any opponent in 2026.  Cue Fleming & John from 1994! While they're doling out praise, the boys might as well shout out BJ Callaghan as the best coach in the MLS.  But they aren't so sure that they love the World Cup being in the United States because it could disrupt Nashville's momentum.  No worries, though, because there is still plenty of optimism as they look ahead to the upcoming match versus NYCFC.  Let's just hope they don't start an OnlyFans. And they drink beer.

In this episode of the Designated Players Podcast, the guys are back and this week we begin our coverage of the World Cup!

If you're looking for the best soccer betting picks and football predictions for this weekend, Andrew Passaro and Nick Dianni break down the biggest matches across England, Germany, and MLS. Headlining the episode is our Game of the Week — the FA Cup Final between Chelsea F.C. and Manchester City. We analyze the tactical matchup, potential game script, and whether this final sets up as a cagey battle or a high-quality attacking showcase. We also dive into key Premier League matchups including Brentford F.C. vs Crystal Palace F.C. and Leeds United vs Brighton & Hove Albion, breaking down form, tempo, and where betting value may exist. In Germany, we preview Eintracht Frankfurt vs VfB Stuttgart, a matchup with strong attacking potential and interesting market angles. Finally, we head to MLS for a rivalry clash between New York Red Bulls and New York City FC, discussing intensity, derby energy, and whether this matchup could produce goals and betting opportunities. As always, we focus on the numbers, tactical matchups, and market movement to help you find the smartest plays on the board this weekend. ⚽

The Crew drop a game on the road to a team they should have not lost to, let alone by three goals, in NYCFC. What does this team need to do to right the ship. Brett, Murph, and Sam discuss.

The Title Was Too Easy To Pick It felt like it had been 84 years since NYCFC won an MLS game. But it had only been seven regular season games and the only two victories were in the US Open Cup. Finally NYCFC broke out of their slump against a struggling Columbus Crew to slide back up the Eastern Conference table. This week Christian Smith fills in for J.R. with Mike and Mike as the three talk about Jansen’s coaching styles, the team’s response to the run of poor results and of course the hat trick by Hannes Wolf.

We are back this week talking through the win and hat trick from Hanes Wolf that lifted us from the skid! we celebrate NYC a bit with some Knicks talk of course becase it was a double celebration for real New Yorkers!

DC Outperforms On Marvel Day The US Open Cup victory against Red Bull on Wednesday was epic. A game for the ages with three nearly identical goals from NYCFC to defeat and eliminate their cross-river rivals. All of that elation was quickly diffused by another abysmal offensive performance by the team on Sunday afternoon in the shadows of what will soon become their home. This week the guys take a look back at where this team is under Pascal Jansen and can the results simply be due to the mass of injuries? We have audio from Malachi Jones, Pascal Jansen and Thiago Martins

If we didn't get our fill from the bite taken out of The Big Apple, Cincinnati fans are getting a second mouthful right away. FC Cincinnati leaves the blue side of the Empire City, only to welcome Red Bull New York to TQL Stadium this Saturday. The Orange & Blue had their difficulties in the first leg of the matchup a few weeks ago, and the longer injury list only makes the work harder. However, RBNY has also managed to be consistent with their inconsistencies. While Cincinnati was locked in a 4-4 draw with NYCFC, Red Bull had their own high-scoring stalemate on Wednesday. What type of growing pains has new head coach Michael Bradley experienced with his young squad? We sit down with Michael from Red Bulls Nation and the new New York Soccer Journal to set up the chessboard again between Cincy and Red Bull New York.

The Red Bulls blow leads of 2-0, 3-1, and 4-3 in an wild but unsatisfying home draw. Inside this abbreviated episode: - A look back at Wednesday's draw (00:00) - A chat with NYCFC Radio's Roberto Abramowitz on the upcoming Cup Derby (8:27) - The Keepers Mailbag (27:26)

This week's episode hits on all the big stories in American soccer. Thomas Pinzone from The Blazing Musket podcast sits in as co-host to help Jason cover the game from post to post. We start with Matt Crocker's sudden departure as sporting director from US Soccer. Did Crocker make any headway on the big problems facing the game in the US? How will we judge his tenure? Then Jason and Thomas discuss Javier Mascherano quitting on Inter Miami seven games into a title defense season. Was there drama behind the scences? MLS went two-and-two in the quarterfinals of the CONCACAF Champions Cup against Mexican opposition. The guys get into the problems MLS faces in the CCC and the wide issues with a tournament that only two leagues can win. There's round-up of the US Open Cup action from this week with a special note for the cupsets sprung by lower division teams and some love for the SOCCER HERITAGE moments like the plethora of lines on the surface in Mount Vernon, NY for Westchester SC's match against NYCFC. Finally, Jason springs on Thomas the story of the Fernando Mendoza photo shoot that has an eerie similarity to a photo shoot featuring the 2002 USMNT. Photogs apparently can't say not to an athlete sipping from a water fountain.
