DP & McGhee welcome Camilo Durana, EVP of Major League Soccer and Soccer United Marketing to talk about the recently completed Summer of Soccer in the US. As Camilo rightly points out, the beautiful game will be coming back next year and in the summer 2026 all eyes will be on North America as the FIFA Men's World Cup returns to North America for the first time in 32 years. Before their conversation, David and Tim talk about Tom Brady and Alex Morgan, two greats returning and leaving the sports stage, respectively. They also discuss the NFL's great opening weekend, US Open record setting attendance, the DirecTV/Disney carriage dispute, and Tyreek Hill's detainment in South Florida. Stick around to the end to hear David's big news on the MoneyGram Haas F1 team.
The Lionel Messi effect in his second season with Inter Miami is well underway in Major League Soccer, which has had five matches this season with an attendance of more than 60,000 or higher. MLS' total attendance is up 13 percent compared to the same date last season and with the Copa America ongoing, the international club competition will segway into one of Major League Soccer's main in-season points of emphasis, the Leagues Cup matching up each team from MLS and Liga MX in Mexico. Executive Vice President Camilo Durana joined the podcast recently to discuss the state of the league, the upcoming second annual Leagues Cup, MLS' developing relationship with Liga MX, broadening the league's reach through Soccer United Marketing, and upcoming FIFA events in the U.S. highlighted by the 2026 World Cup and of course the effect of Messi within the league's international reputation.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Grant has two entertaining interviews in this episode. Matthew Hoppe checks in from Germany (30:33) and shares how he experienced his big-break season with Schalke, which he ended up leading with six league goals. Hoppe, 20, also discusses what he's looking forward to in his first camp with the USMNT this week ahead of the Switzerland friendly. Then Grant speaks to Chris Ivy (55:05), the co-founder and director of sports for Heritage Auctions, about the skyrocketing market in sports collectibles, including soccer cards. A 1979 Diego Maradona Panini sticker sold for a soccer record of almost $560,000 last month, and this month Ivy's house auctioned a 1958 Pelé Alifabolaget "rookie" card for $372,000, a 182% increase over the exact same card and grade sold just five months earlier. To kick off the pod, Grant and Chris Wittyngham break down a wild final weekend of the European domestic leagues, including Chelsea and Liverpool beating out Leicester for Champions League berths, Luis Suárez giving Atlético Madrid the La Liga title, Juventus and Milan beating out Napoli for the top four in Italy, and Lille staving off PSG in Ligue 1. The guys also look ahead to this weekend's men's UEFA Champions League final between Man City and Chelsea and discuss the news on Sunday that U.S. Soccer and Soccer United Marketing will end their 20-year business partnership at the end of 2022.

Through its first 5 years of existence, Major League Soccer lost roughly $250M and the 6 original owners were on the brink of folding the league. Cue first time commissioner, Don Garber -- an executive without any soccer experience, with a vision to change the industry forever. That was in 1999. Today, franchises are selling for $325M each, MLS has major media partnerships with ESPN, Fox and Univision, and national sponsorships with Adidas, AT&T, AllState, Audi and Home Depot, to name a few. It's been a long, rough and windy road, and on the show Commissioner Garber and I discuss how he got here. From changing material rules on the pitch, to creating designated player exemptions that led to the acquisition of global superstars like David Beckham and Zlatan, to coalescing North American soccer properties to form Soccer United Marketing, to investing in ground-up stadium builds...we cover it all. This is one of those shows...if you're a young professional or major industry executive, listening to Don Garber will provide you with tips and insights on how to build or shape your career into one that's both effective and fulfilling.
What is the outlook for the Olympics to be held in Japan in 2021, and what does it ultimately mean for Paris in 2024 and Los Angeles in 2028? In this episode, we explore those questions and more with the person in charge of bringing more than $5 billion in the door between sponsorships, consumer products, hospitality and ticket sales for LA28. Kathy Carter candidly reveals the sales trends to date, how her 15-year role at Soccer United Marketing prepared her for this enormous dual role, how different she wants these '28 Games to be, and how they're already shaping up to be different than anything the US or the world has ever seen.

Kathy Carter is the Chief Revenue Officer of LA 2028, CEO of U.S. Olympic and Paralympic Properties, and she has been in this role since October of 2018. She and her team are responsible for all of the revenue and marketing functions of the Support Team USA and the LA 2028 Olympic and Paralympic Games including sponsorship sales, consumer products, brand marketing, hospitality, ticketing, and events. Prior to this, Kathy served as the president of Soccer United Marketing, a Major League Soccer commercial subsidiary, and was in charge of managing and growing the business operations for premier soccer organizations and events in the U.S., including MLS, U.S. Soccer, and the Mexican National Team, among others. Kathy became a founding member of Major League Soccer and was instrumental in building the league from the ground up and had such a profound effect on the world of soccer. When she stepped off the proverbial treadmill in early 2018, she decided to take some time to reassess and reinvent. Here are some power takeaways from today's conversation: When her passion for sports started How being an athlete taught her to see things as opportunities Her favorite roles during World Cup and global events Ways to get in the game you love Her transition into reinventing herself Co-creating games that will be the blueprint for the future How do we reconcile things to be that best version of ourselves? Why remote work is not a “forever” state of being Episode Highlights: Thoughts on Taking Risks As an athlete, you lose a lot of games. Then you pick yourself up and you dust yourself off. You go back out and you play another game. That's one of the great benefits of growing up in sport is it allows you not to see things as risks, but rather see things as opportunities. Do anything you can do to get exposure to the broader business, and ultimately, hopefully, can become a more valuable and more contributing member. Just be there and start to understand the inner workings of the game, as opposed to feeling like you have to jump a couple of the rungs. Ways to Get in the Game That You Love Love the game and decide that if it's not the way you want to live where you have it as your full-time job, but you can also find ways to participate in it even in a part-time capacity. How Do We Reconcile Things to Be The Best Version of Ourselves? There is no perfect, and therefore, as individuals, the idea that any of us is perfect is a fallacy. It's always a work in progress. And therefore, part of what we need to do is make sure we take feedback. Don't take it personally and make excuses for things that people give you as feedback. And if you can do that, then you can start to evolve. Resources Mentioned: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kathycarter17/
On This Episode, Mack tries to get check focused on the weirdness of Soccer United Marketing, but all Chuck can think about is Micahel Parenti's revolutionary mustache.

This week’s guest, Charles Boehm, is a player, coach, referee and writer -- check out his intro at the 2:45 mark and learned where he played alongside future non-U.S. national teamers. Like me, he was in Philadelphia for the United Soccer Coaches convention and attended many of the U.S. Soccer presidential candidates’ sessions. We talk about what makes a soccer person and what makes an elitist (5:30), whether Eric Wynalda is the front-runner (8:00), the “anyone but (so-and-so)” approach to voting (9:45), what the candidates showed us in Philly (13:05), Kathy Carter and Soccer United Marketing (24:10), what’s changing in U.S. Soccer (30:00-ish), then youth soccer and the surprising focus on ODP (38:15). I didn’t get around to finishing my thought on why I was once the best U12 center back in Athens, Ga. The answer is the same reason why I was once a competent over-30 coed indoor goalkeeper: Reckless disregard for my own safety. It surely had nothing to my sk --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/ranting-soccer-dad/support
