Hey, soccer fans! Let's talk about it - the USMNT lost to Belgium in the FIFA World Cup. It was their worst performance of the tournament by far. The Yanks never looked into the game, playing disjointed on offense and scrambling on defense. Not one of the Americans had a stand out performance, and ultimately, defense errors by Tim Ream, Chris Richards, and Matt Freese led to the Red Devils running up four goals. Tune in as Nick looks at the individual performances of the US players, how their position groups played, and what was the ultimate issue in the match. Also, he looks at how this impact the US Soccer program going forward and what changes could help the American soccer in the long term. Tune in and join the conversation!

The temperatures across the South are still scorching (as usual). World Cup Fever across the United States seems to be abating quite a bit today. The three host countries in North America (Canada, Mexico, and the United States) for the 2026 World Cup soccer advanced into the Round of 16. That was a pleasant surprise and some very good news for fans in North America. Sadly, the soccer teams for the three host countries all bit the dust over the past few days. None reached the quarterfinals, Elite Eight, or whatever the FIFA soccer people call this next round. Action on Saturday July 4th saw Canada get skunked 3-0 by tiny Morocco. The Moroccans converted on three of their four shots on goal to capture the win. Canada only attempted three shots on goal as they bowed out of this year’s competition. On Sunday, Mexico lost at home to England 3-2 in a very tightly contested match. The home team out passed England by a 2-1 margin. The number of completed passes by Mexico (418 to 195 for England) was impressive but didn’t lead to enough points. As golfers might translate, “Pass for show, but kick goals for dough.” The final host country bowed out of World Cup 26 on Monday in Seattle. World Cup host United States had all eyes focused on Seattle Monday evening for its Round of 16 game against Belgium. Team USA was coming off a raucous Independence Day weekend filled with fireworks and patriotic enthusiasm as the nation celebrated 250 years. Apparently, America’s soccer team failed to receive a fiery jingoistic pregame message. Belgium breezed to a surprisingly easy 4-1 win over an American team which looked like it had a case of World Cup stage fright on Monday night. The US was attempting to reach the quarterfinals (round of 8) for the first time since 2002. Belgium’s Red Devils (yes, that’s their nickname) had never even reached the quarterfinals – before Monday night’s game against Team USA. Despite having a very loud advantage playing in the home stadium of the NFL’s Seattle Seahawks, the American team laid a proverbial egg Monday night in losing 4-1 to Belgium. The team looked lethargic (overconfident, perhaps?) and did not appear ready for a game of this magnitude. Much like the European golfers have dominated golf’s Ryder Cup matches the past few decades, the European soccer teams seemed more cohesive and better prepared. The quarterfinals will feature seven European teams and just one South American squad. All of these games will be shown on FOX Television. Times are CDT: Thursday – France vs. Morocco (3PM) in Foxboro, MA Friday – Spain vs. Belgium (2PM) in Los Angeles, CA Saturday – Norway vs. England (4PM) in Miami, FL Saturday – Argentina vs. Switzerland (8PM) in Kansas City, MO Team USA’s bubble was burst on Monday night by a Belgian team which was not considered to be one of the top European squads. America once again proved that their team has exceptional ability, but their team resolve in tough matches isn’t quite as determined as other top competitors. Perhaps the US should hire Olympic Dream Team members such as Michael Jordan, Magic Johnson, and Larry Bird to help prepare the soccer team next time? Question – Will Americans still watch the remaining World Cup games without Team USA involved? The World Cup soccer television ratings have been a success for FOX Sports. Last Wednesday’s 2-0 win by Team USA over Bosnia-Herzegovina drew 26 million viewers. Early reports indicated that more than 30 million viewers tuned into FOX on Monday night during the American team’s 4-1 loss to Belgium. That’s about 1/3 of the number of viewers for a Super Bowl game. That is quite impressive. The total exceeds the viewership of nearly every NFL regular season game. But… Are you planning to tune in for the afternoon quarterfinal games on Thursday and Friday? The next night game on the schedule won’t occur until Saturday night’s quarterfinal game in Kansas City featuring Argentina and Switzerland. The Swiss won a 0-0 game over Colombia Tuesday afternoon following a 4-3 shootout success. I will be surprised if World Cup soccer will lure 15 to 20 million American viewers for the upcoming quarterfinal round of games. Red Card Outrage! The US team was given (theoretically) an advantage before Monday’s game with Belgium. A dreaded Red Card was handed to an American player by a referee in the previous game after two players got their legs tangled-up. The Red Card would have disqualified the American player from participating on Monday night against Belgium. Following a call from US President Donald Trump asking for an executive review, a FIFA committee rescinded the Red Card and reinstated the American player. The Belgian team was outraged by that decision. It added more motivation to take down the US squad in Monday night’s game. Have you noticed the unique grammar involving World Cup sports stories? I was reading a news story posted on ESPN Sunday and ran across the following sentences (among many): “Norway were stronger, better organized, and more capable with the ball.” “Norway are a very good team” What is going on here? Who is writing this stuff? The best answer I could find is that Europeans (who speak “proper” English, of course) refer to their national soccer/football team as if it was a plural noun. I’m not picking on ESPN in particular for this odd writing style during the World Cup. Other major news outlets have been doing the same thing. I’ll counter with this suggestion. If the soccer match is being played in Europe, write the story any way you prefer. That’s fine. When the game is being played in Kansas City, Missouri, or another American city, please write your story utilizing the preferred grammar used by American readers. Fakery Bakery is open for business again this year at the World Cup Soccer is played without protective pads except around the lower legs. Contact between the players while they run at full speed or jump into the air to hit the ball with their head is inevitable. Legitimate sports injuries affect every team. However, the sport continues to hone fakery to new levels of acting in order to draw a penalty from the game’s referees. Feigning an injury on the field to draw a sympathetic penalty from the refs has become too commonplace in soccer. A 0-0 defensive struggle like Tuesday’s epic (Zzzz…) between Switzerland and Colombia can tempt players to feign injury to help their team get a better shot on goal. Winning a “World Cup Academy Award” in the category of Overacting seems to be a must for many players. For fun, keep your eyes on those “injured” players. Once they receive that penalty call on an opponent, their injured leg, back, or other body part seems to heal almost immediately. It’s a miracle! Mexican fans performed their version of the Texas A&M Aggies’ Midnight Yell Mexican soccer fans pulled out all the stops last week in trying to win their World Cup games in Mexico City. During some recent games, the home team’s zealous fans camped outside of the hotel which was hosting the opposing team. From late at night until the wee hours of the next morning, a throng of Mexican fans threw a loud party replete with Mariachi bands, singing, chanting, and air horns all night long. They were trying to disrupt the sleep of the team’s next day opponent. The Mexican fans’ version of a Texas A&M Midnight Yell practice was in excessively bad taste and displayed rather poor sportsmanship. In the end, England ended Mexico’s midnight serenade with a 3-2 win to eliminate the host country. Life is much quieter today in Mexico City.

The Korner Booth Podcast is back with a loaded episode covering the biggest stories in sports right now, from an NBA offseason that's already turned the league upside down to World Cup drama and the Midsummer Classic debate heating up. We open with the blockbuster that has the NBA world buzzing: the Boston Celtics have dealt Jaylen Brown to the Philadelphia 76ers in exchange for Paul George, two first-round picks, and two second-round picks. The boys break down whether Brad Stevens is playing 4D chess with franchise flexibility or pulling off one of the most confusing trades in recent memory. Just two years ago, Brown won Finals MVP, and this past season finished sixth in the regular-season MVP vote after the best individual season of his career — so why move him now, and what does it mean for Boston's title window with Jayson Tatum? We get into it all. Then it's the LeBron James free agency circus, and the Timberwolves are making their pitch. Minnesota's bold offer: team up with Anthony Edwards, LaMelo Ball, Jaden McDaniels, and Rudy Gobert to chase a championship that could settle the GOAT debate once and for all. The Wolves are touting the veteran leadership James could provide, while also appealing to his sense of legacy — Minnesota has never won an NBA championship. Could The King end up in the frozen tundra? From the hardwood to the pitch, World Cup 2026 Round of 16 did not disappoint in the drama department. USMNT striker Folarin Balogun was reinstated for the match against Belgium after FIFA's disciplinary committee suspended his one-game red-card ban, setting off a firestorm involving the Belgian federation, UEFA, and even a reported call from President Trump to FIFA's Gianni Infantino. Despite all the pre-game noise, Belgium delivered an emphatic 4-1 result, with Charles De Ketelaere leading the charge and Romelu Lukaku adding a late exclamation point, ending the USMNT's run and sending the Red Devils to the quarterfinals. We close out with the 2026 MLB All-Star rosters ahead of the Midsummer Classic at Citizens Bank Park on July 14th. 26 first-time All-Stars join established superstars like Shohei Ohtani, Aaron Judge, Bobby Witt Jr., Mike Trout, and Paul Skenes for this year's showcase in Philadelphia. The boys break down the biggest surprises, the most egregious snubs, Brewers second baseman Brice Turang and Red Sox first baseman Willson Contreras headline the omissions, and who's repping your favorite team on baseball's biggest mid-season stage.

On June 21, 2026, at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles, Iran managed to secure a scoreless 0-0 draw against Belgium, significantly undermining the Red Devils' ambitions in Group G while enhancing Team Melli's chances of achieving a historic advancement to the knockout stage.In spite of significant political tensions, stringent US visa travel restrictions, and a severely limited preparation period that allowed Iran less than 16 hours of training, Amir Ghalenoei's team demonstrated exceptional defensive resilience.Belgium controlled 68% of the possession and attempted 23 shots, yet they displayed a lack of precision and sharpness in the attacking zone.Iran had a potential first-half goal from captain Mehdi Taremi disallowed for offside. Later in the second half, Belgium's manager Rudi Garcia faced further difficulties when young defender Nathan Ngoy mishandled a backpass, resulting in a foul on Taremi and a straight red card in the 66th minute.Both teams are currently tied with two points after two matches, following Iran's 2-2 draw against New Zealand and Belgium's 1-1 stalemate with Egypt. Belgium must secure a victory against New Zealand in Vancouver on Friday, while Iran holds the key to its own fate against Egypt in Seattle.

The 2026 FIFA World Cup kicked off with high drama as Mexico secured a 2-0 victory over South Africa in a match that featured a record three red cards. Later, South Korea's Red Devils overcame an early deficit to defeat Czechia 2-1, with Hwang In-beom delivering a standout performance to cap an exciting opening day of tournament action.
Belgium and Egypt ended their World Cup opener in a 1-1 draw on Monday, as a second-half equalizer from Belgium disrupted Mohamed Salah's celebration of his 34th birthday. Emam Ashour scored first in the opening half in Seattle, but Romelu Lukaku, who came off the bench after the hour mark, forced an own goal from Egypt's Mohamed Hany.With this draw, Egypt, the seven-time Africa Cup of Nations champions, continues their quest for a first World Cup victory.This marks their fourth appearance in the global tournament, and with upcoming Group G matches against Iran and New Zealand, they will aim to overcome this challenge in North America.For Belgium, this tournament represents a likely final opportunity for the remnants of their golden generation to surpass their third-place finish in Russia eight years ago and finally secure a trophy.Key veterans Kevin De Bruyne, Thibaut Courtois, and Lukaku remain central figures in Rudi Garcia's squad.This was only the second occasion in their history that Egypt took the lead in a World Cup match, the first being when Salah scored in a 2-1 loss to Saudi Arabia in 2018.Despite the expectations of a straightforward victory for Belgium, they were held to a disappointing 1-1 draw by a determined and spirited Egyptian side. What many anticipated would be an easy win for the Red Devils evolved into a tactical contest that left Belgian supporters frustrated and Egyptian fans filled with hope.Egypt stunned Belgium by taking an early lead in the first half, catching the Belgian defense off guard and igniting jubilation among their supporters. Although Belgium managed to equalize in the second half, they were unable to breach the Egyptian defense to claim all three points.
Manchester United's €85 million gamble on Benjamin Šeško looked like a slow burn under Ruben Amorim, but the arrival of Michael Carrick completely flipped the script.

Im kommenden Jahr darf Manchester United wieder Champions-League-Fußball spielen. Großen Anteil am Aufwärtstrend des englischen Rekordmeisters hat Vereinslegende Michael Carrick. Als Trainer gelang dem Ex-Mittelfeldspieler, der im Januar von Ruben Amorim übernahm, dass die „Red Devils“ eine sehr erfolgreiche Rückrunde in der Premier-League-Saison spielten. Als Interimscoach angetreten, sollte er mit dieser Leistung die Fans im Rücken haben - eigentlich. Aber eine Weiterbeschäftigung des 44-Jährigen wird beim United-Anhang kritisch gesehen. Carrick, der einst mit dem Traditionsklub die Champions League gewann, scheint - wie zu seinen aktiven Zeiten - im Schatten großer Namen nicht genug zu sein für die neuerlichen Ambitionen. „Einige Führungsspieler setzen sich für ihn ein“, sagt Almuth, „man muss den Verein verstehen, das tut er“. Roman fragt sich: „Was will man denn noch außer einem, der Historie, Identität und Erfolg mitbringt?“ - und wirft dann plötzlich den Namen des deutschen Bundestrainers in den Raum ...
When people think of sports, they almost always think of playing as the only way to do it. But it's not. I dated a girl once whose career dream was being an accountant for her favorite NFL team. My 9yo son's flag football coaches are high school varsity football players who dream of coaching as a career. And my 15yo son, who also coaches a youth flag football team, is currently playing football for my guest Bobby Ruff, the head football coach at Liberty High School in SC. If you've ever thought about coaching as a career or are just interested in the inside scoop on high school football, you gotta check this one out. Bobby Ruff is a young man who's already hit the pinnacle of his profession and found out exactly where he wants to be, and it wasn't at that pinnacle. A little background on Coach Ruff- Coach Ruff brings a strong background in defensive leadership, player development, and program-building, with experience spanning high school and collegiate football. Most recently, he has served as Assistant Inside Linebackers Coach at Liberty University, including as part of the Flames' coaching staff during the 2023 Fiesta Bowl against Oregon, where he has worked closely with defensive personnel, game planning, film breakdown, and recruiting at the Division I level. Prior to his time at Liberty University, Coach Ruff served as Defensive Coordinator at Easley High School, where the program developed one of the most statistically successful defenses in the state, recorded its first playoff appearance and first winning season in 15 years, and developed multiple All-State players. His coaching experience also includes several roles at The Citadel, where he worked with linebackers, safeties, defensive line, and tight ends, contributing to nationally ranked rushing and defensive units. “Coach Ruff is exactly the type of leader we were searching for,” said Johnny Garrett, principal of Liberty High School. “His experience, energy, and commitment to developing young men both on and off the field make him an excellent fit for Liberty High School and our community.” Coach Ruff is a native of Charleston, South Carolina, and a graduate of Charleston Southern University, where he earned a degree in Public Relations and was a three-year starting linebacker, team captain, and All-Big South selection. His coaching philosophy emphasizes accountability, relationships, and creating a positive culture that supports academic success, character development, and competitive excellence. Liberty High School Athletic Director Jonathan Dilworth added, “Coach Ruff's enthusiasm for the game is evident the moment you meet him.

Host Ricky Sacks is joined by Broadcaster Russ Williams, Vass Koni and Marlon as playing for over an hour with 10 men proved too much of an uphill task at Old Trafford as we suffered a 2-0 defeat to Manchester United on Saturday lunchtime. Having started well, we found ourselves on the back foot after captain Cristian Romero was shown a straight red card for his 29th-minute challenge on Casemiro and the Red Devils duly took advantage to register their first win against us in nine attempts. Bryan Mbeumo slid home following a short corner routine seven minutes before half-time, but we stayed very much in the game – thanks in part to a string of fine saves from Guglielmo Vicario – and it was only a late goal from Bruno Fernandes that finally killed us off. The second period also saw the debut of Souza, signed last month from Brazilian side Santos, following an injury to Destiny Udogie at left-back. We discuss the actions of Romero and whether he has lost all the goodwill he gained during the week from Spurs fans, we question if Spurs are in a relegation battle and if so whether Thomas Frank can steer us out of it.

In the early fixture Saturday morning, in form Manchester United will welcome lowly Spurs to Old Trafford. The Red Devils will look to make it four wins on the bounce and heap more pressure on Thomas Frank and Spurs. In the final game of the weekend, Liverpool host EFL Cup finalists Manchester City at Anfield. Should Arsenal beat Sunderland at home Saturday, the Citizens will come into this match nine points off the lead. A win and an Arsenal loss will see them close the gap to just three points.

Tottenham looked dead in the water after just forty-five minutes in their weekend's match against Manchester City. Down two goals and subbing their club captain off, City looked like they would cruise to another victory. After a contentious first goal and a sublime, wonder second goal, Spurs were able to draw level and looked a completely different team in the second half. Chelsea fought back against West Ham who were in a position to steal three points at Stamford Bridge. Three second half goals saw Chelsea's turn around complete and all three points went to the Blues. Finally Manchester United are three wins on the bounce. Michael Carrick's stint in charge could not have started better for the Red Devils and they will look to push on and finish in the top four.
