A Late Upset In Cincy and a Familiar Face In Foxboro The most surprising part of this week’s episode is the fact that JR grew up inside a bubble that isolated him from Dolly Parton.  The legendary singer passed away on Tuesday afternoon before the episode was recorded.  Obviously the other two hosts were stunned by the revelation, but the show carried on with discussion on NYCFC player and former player rumors.  Then the trio talk about the results from the past week which resulted in NYCFC earning one point out of six on the road again Cincinnatti and New England.  

The MLS transfer market is moving fast, and Tom Bogert has plenty of scoops to break down. David Gass and Matt Doyle join him to dig into Seattle's move for Dejan Joveljić, Eduard Löwen heading to San Jose and what the latest moves mean for the teams involved. Then they turn to the weekend, including Nashville's record-setting pace and more from around MLS.0:00 Intro & Leagues Cup Quarterfinals5:56 Dejan Joveljić to Seattle14:58 The Puzzle of Sporting KC's Transfers24:39 Eduard Löwen Heads to San Jose33:03 St. Louis Expectations42:23 Santi Rodríguez to Columbus47:37 NYCFC's Nico Fernández Mercau Stays Put52:10 Breel Embolo Arrives in Atlanta57:33 Khaled El-Ahmad Moves from Minnesota to Austin1:10:02 Nashville Riding Historic Pace1:14:10 More MLS Weekend NotesFor the sharpest coverage of American soccer, we've got you covered:https://linktr.ee/soccerwisehq

Geno Smith needs to play in the preseason, and the Jets cannot afford to treat him like an established quarterback who can simply show up Week 1 ready to roll. The case is made for giving Smith significant reps with the starters as he learns another new offense, builds chemistry and tries to establish himself as the leader of the team. Aaron Glenn remains vague about his plans, while the strong preseason showing from Cade Klubnik creates another layer of intrigue. The conversation also turns to why the Jets should keep Garrett Wilson and Breece Hall even if the season goes sideways, plus a surprisingly deep New York Red Bulls and NYCFC debate.

The Yankees keep winning, but almost nothing about it feels comfortable. Evan Roberts and Tiki Barber break down encouraging injury news on Max Fried, the slow road back for Aaron Judge and Giancarlo Stanton, Jazz Chisholm's growing struggles, and whether this battered Yankees roster can finally get healthy enough to become dangerous in October. The Mets bring a different kind of frustration after Fernando Tatis Jr. robbed Francisco Lindor, sparking a wild debate over whether fans in the front row have an obligation to help their team. Steve Cohen's comments on the Mets' disappointing season ignite another examination of David Stearns, the decision to move on from Pete Alonso and Cohen's admission that the organization may have taken too much risk. Evan and Tiki also debate the dangers of massive free-agent contracts, Geno Smith's need for preseason reps and Evan's grim Jets prediction, plus George Lombard Jr., the Nets' painful history, NYCFC fandom, Citi Field's mysterious concession lines and a prediction of a brutal baseball work stoppage.

More Dropped Points At Home From Winning Positions If there is a consistent theme for NYCFC in 2026 it is dropping points at home. In just under half of their eleven home games this season, NYCFC have dropped points in five of those matches. The team is still fighting its way back through some key injuries and quite honestly, is a completely different team post World Cup, but the trend in results remain the same. NYCFC is a mid-table team at best and will remain there until they get healthy. This week the guys look back at the Leagues Cup match versus Necaxa and the MLS regular season match against the Philadelphia Union.

The Philadelphia Union have made it back-back MLS games that they have comeback from 2-0 deficits in MLS, as they scored three goals in the second half with Danley Jean Jacques and Bruno Damiani to complete a 3-2 win over NYCFC. Todd and José give their thoughts on the win and discuss topics such as: Bruno Damiani's much needed performance, Sullivan brothers both shine, should Ryan Richter be given the first team job permanently because of his relationship with the Sullivan brothers, and Richter's second half changes prove key. Todd also gives his Blunder of the Week that involves high school soccer.     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/

Winning! After a two month hiatus NYCFC returned to the pitch battered, bruised and hungry. The injury bug left nine players unavailable for the two games this past week, but for those that stayed healthy, it was an incredible two games, most notably for Augustin Ojeda. The big question as always, will the young winger be able to maintain his level of impact on the games ahead. This week Mike Anderer, Mike Allen and J.R. diBart go over the the victories and talk all things MLS.

Christian Polanco and Alexis Guerreros return to process the full-force return of Major League Soccer following the World Cup break. Christian kicks off the show with a hilarious and relatable personal story about taking his 3.5-year-old son to his first competitive soccer class 1v1s. The hosts then dive into the latest blockbusters across MLS, analyzing Casemiro's 1-0 debut for Inter Miami as a physical midfield anchor, Antoine Griezmann's immediate scoring spark for Orlando City, and Christian's in-person breakdown of Robert Lewandowski's debut for the Chicago Fire against NYCFC. Next, Angel City FC forward Riley Tiernan joins the podcast for a fun, wide-ranging interview. The NWSL sophomore shares her journey from an unsigned trialist to team top scorer, explaining how getting passed over initially fueled her "dog" mentality on the pitch. Riley also details her commitment to Rutgers in 8th grade, breaks down her viral Flying Dutchman order at In-N-Out, discusses her U.S. U-23 national team call-up, and reacts to a viral post-match meme. To close out the episode, Christian and Alexis inject a heavy dose of "hopamine" as they turn their focus toward rebuilding the USMNT for 2030. The hosts highlight six rising American youth prospects who could transform the national team's core—including Philadelphia Union's Cavan Sullivan and 6'6" center back Neil Pierre, dual-national defender Noahkai Banks, Orlando's Justin Ellis, RSL playmaker Zavier Gozo, and Chelsea goalkeeper Gaga Slonina.

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! We give our picks as well as how each team will perform for each game and come up with our final standings for each group as well as our analysis as to why each team will finish where.

David Gass, Tom Bogert, and Matt Doyle break down the Philadelphia Union reset, Portland's next chapter, and the biggest MLS storylines to watch this summer. They discuss the league's coaching landscape, Neymar and Casemiro's MLS links, LAFC's roster decisions, whether Real Salt Lake can keep Diego Luna and Xavier Gozo, and the biggest roster needs facing both New York clubs. Plus, they explain why they're buying stock in San Jose and San Diego and discuss what they need to see from the USMNT before the World Cup.0:00 Pork Roll, Taylor Ham & Soccer Culture9:01 Philadelphia Union Reset25:55 Portland Timbers Next Chapter41:04 The MLS Coaching Landscape50:14 Neymar and Casemiro to MLS?56:50 LAFC's Next Move1:01:32 Can RSL Keep Luna and Gozo?1:04:10 NYCFC's DP Spot & Red Bulls' Defense1:13:11 Buying Stock in San Jose and San Diego1:21:03 USMNT's Final Tune-Up

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.
