Hawks and United Broadcaster Mike Conti talks about the run of success that led to the Quin Snyder extension with the Hawks, Owner Tony Ressler not letting emotions of a really bad playoff exit affect his decisions for the future, how having Onsi Saleh and Quin Snyder together potentially makes roster building easier, and what he expects after seeing the US Men's National Team in two friendlies in the buildup to the World Cup.
The World Cup is nearly here, and for the US Men's National Team, the stakes couldn't be higher. Will they leverage their boosted confidence, recent top-tier performances, and a squad more experienced than four years ago to make a historic run? Or will the unpredictable chaos of knockout football bring their dreams to a halt? On this episode, we deep dive into the USMNT's prospects, tactical strengths, and the critical moments that could define their tournament fate. We break down the key wins against Senegal and Germany and talk through the squad's evolution from the 2022 World Cup. With familiar faces and promising newcomers like Balogun and Tillman, this is a roster both seasoned and bursting with potential. Are they ready to punch above their weight and reach their first quarterfinal in years? Or will luck and execution falter at the final hurdle? We'll find out over the next few weeks!
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.
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.

The World Cup is just a week away and to mark the occasion, The Run-Through invited US Men's Soccer Team player Chris Richards on the podcast. Vogue fútbol fiends Taylor Antrim and Alyssa Hardy sit down with the young defender to talk about the journey to his first World Cup. Richards grew up in Hoover, Alabama, a town where American football reigns supreme. “Everybody knew everybody,” he explains, “and a lot of the kids that played soccer were also the kicker for the football team.” Soccer was hardly deemed a viable option. “I had teachers laugh at me when I told them I wanna do this for a living,” Richards tells the podcast, “But I just kept my head down and decided I wanted to prove them wrong. And I think I've done pretty well at that.”Fresh off an ankle injury, Richards is busy doing strength exercises and massaging the swelling down. He'll be sitting out the final friendlies match against Germany this weekend but is planning to play once the World Cup officially begins next week. “It feels like everybody's still kind of holding their breath.”They also chat about finding community through his time playing for Bayern Munich and Crystal Palace. “London is a beautiful place to find yourself. [South London] reminded me a lot of home—it's very hardworking and there are tons of cultures that I've been really excited to dive into.” The development of his personal style he also credits to his time abroad, being inspired by the influences of his teammates. Also on the episode, Chloe and Chioma catch up after some time apart. For the first time, Chloe served on the committee for the CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund and had a part in determining the ten finalists. Chioma tells Chloe all about her time at the three-day British Vogue Wellness Retreat at Estelle Manor in the English countryside. Chioma, a wellness enthusiast, was in her happy place and where she got to participate in conversations around women's health and also activities like axe throwing and archery. Other important news out of England this week was the wedding of Dua Lipa and Callum Turner at Marylebone Town Hall—at the same location where Chioma's parents wed many years ago! And if things couldn't get more exciting, Chioma met one of her all time favorite ladies at SXSW London: the Michelle Obama!The Run-Through with Vogue is your go-to podcast where fashion meets culture.

We dive deep into the strange, fragmented, often unbelievable history of American men's soccer with acclaimed journalist and author Leander Schaerlaeckens, whose new book, "The Long Game: U.S. Men's Soccer and Its Savage, Four-Decade Journey to the Top, or Thereabouts," chronicles the U.S. Men's National Team's long, improbable march from global irrelevance to the doorstep of the 2026 World Cup. For generations, men's soccer in America existed as a sporting afterthought: half-forgotten World Cup appearances, unstable leagues, empty stadiums, and a federation that often seemed to be inventing itself on the fly. Schaerlaeckens traces the USMNT's bizarre and deeply American journey from the collapse of the old North American Soccer League and the ill-fated "Team America" experiment, through the make-or-break 1994 World Cup, to today's globally connected generation starring players like Christian Pulisic and Weston McKennie. Along the way, we discuss the structural challenges that long held American soccer back — from pay-to-play youth systems to cultural indifference — and why the sport's growth in the United States has been anything but linear. The conversation also dives into iconic personalities, locker-room dysfunction, the rise of MLS academies, and the looming tension surrounding the hyper-commercialized 2026 World Cup. + + + SUPPORT THE SHOW: Buy Us a Coffee: https://ko-fi.com/goodseatsstillavailable The "Good Seats" Store: http://tee.pub/lic/RdiDZzQeHSY BUY THE BOOK: "The Long Game: U.S. Men's Soccer and Its Savage, Four-Decade Journey to the Top, or Thereabouts": https://amzn.to/4tSAJIS SPONSOR THANKS: Royal Retros (10% off promo code: SEATS): https://www.503-sports.com?aff=2 Old School Shirts.com (10% off promo code: GOODSEATS): https://oldschoolshirts.com/goodseats FIND AND FOLLOW: Linktree: https://linktr.ee/GoodSeatsStillAvailable Web: https://goodseatsstillavailable.com/ Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/goodseatsstillavailable.com X/Twitter: https://twitter.com/GoodSeatsStill YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@goodseatsstillavailable Threads: https://www.threads.net/@goodseatsstillavailable Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/goodseatsstillavailable/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/GoodSeatsStillAvailable/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/good-seats-still-available/
Hey, soccer fans! Feed the Fire welcomes Clint Mathis to the show! He talks about his career in Major League Soccer, his time with the US Men's National Team, and how the game has changed during and since his playing days. Tune in as Nick and Clint relive some of his best moments but also explore how Clint made the transition to a career after soccer. Clint also gives us his take on the latest soccer docuseries "Soccer's American Dream" now out on VICE TV . "One of the true personalities in American professional soccer, Clint Mathis took full advantage of the 2002 World Cup as a player and a public figure. Capitalizing on several years of hard work in Major League Soccer, he became one of the faces of the Summer of 2002 when the United States advanced to the quarterfinals of the World Cup. Clint was originally drafted by the LA Galaxy, but rose to prominence as a member of the MetroStars. There he established himself as a reliable goal scorer and showed the flair that would garner him national attention. An ACL injury limited his output in 2001, but he recovered in time to make the US World Cup squad. Mathis scored against Korea in the group stage of that World Cup. At the end of the 2002 MLS season, he had opportunities in Germany's Bundesliga, eventually joining Hannover 96 in 2004. Mathis won his last cap with the United States in 2005, the same year he returned to Major League Soccer with Real Salt Lake. He spent time with several MLS clubs before a successful stint at Greek club Ergotelis. He returned to MLS and RSL in 2008, finishing his career in 2010 as a member of the LA Galaxy. Clint worked as an assistant coach with the Chicago Fire in 2014 and 2015." - from https://ussoccerplayers.com/player/mathis-clint Tune in and join the conversation!

Next month, the FIFA World Cup returns to North American soil, marking a transformative moment for the sport of soccer on this continent. But to understand the current state of the US Men's National Team as they prepare to host the world, one must first examine their complex and often turbulent relationship with their greatest rival: Mexico. In this episode, we welcome back soccer journalist, historian and Episode 270 guest Hal Phillips, author of the definitive new book, "Sibling Rivalry: How Mexico and the US Built the Most Contentious, Co-Dependent Feud in World Soccer." Phillips' work frames the rivalry with El Tri not just as a series of games, but as a "co-dependent feud" that has fundamentally shaped the national identities of both countries. We trace the narrative arc from the Americans' 1934 World Cup qualifier success in Rome through the grueling 46-year "dark age" where the US failed to secure a single victory against their neighbors. Phillips takes us through the pivotal shifts of the 1990s and the birth of the "Dos a Cero" era, explaining how the professionalization of the American game turned a lopsided regional dominance into an ever-escalating athletic confrontation of equals. Beyond the tactics on the pitch, we discuss the deeper cultural and geopolitical baggage that makes this rivalry unique. From the personal stories of dual-national stars caught between two flags to the economic realities of the "Border War," Phillips explains why this rivalry was the necessary forge for American soccer's survival. As this year's World Cup beckons, we explore whether these two "siblings" are finally ready to step out of each other's shadows and challenge the global elite. + + + SUPPORT THE SHOW: Buy Us a Coffee: https://ko-fi.com/goodseatsstillavailable The "Good Seats" Store: http://tee.pub/lic/RdiDZzQeHSY BUY THE BOOK: "Sibling Rivalry: How Mexico and the US Built the Most Contentious, Co-Dependent Feud in World Soccer": https://amzn.to/3PxRbjK SPONSOR THANKS: Royal Retros (10% off promo code: SEATS): https://www.503-sports.com?aff=2 Old School Shirts.com (10% off promo code: GOODSEATS): https://oldschoolshirts.com/goodseats FIND AND FOLLOW: Linktree: https://linktr.ee/GoodSeatsStillAvailable Web: https://goodseatsstillavailable.com/ Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/goodseatsstillavailable.com X/Twitter: https://twitter.com/GoodSeatsStill YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@goodseatsstillavailable Threads: https://www.threads.net/@goodseatsstillavailable Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/goodseatsstillavailable/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/GoodSeatsStillAvailable/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/good-seats-still-available/
