Is James Rodríguez really headed to Minnesota United? In one of the strangest transfer rumors we've ever seen, the Cooligans unpack how a global superstar could end up in MLS, what it would mean for Minnesota, and whether James still has enough left to move the needle in the league — or if this is destined to be pure chaos.Next, we revisit the USMNT hype machine and ask some uncomfortable questions. Gio Reyna, Yunus Musah, Gianluca Busio, Jordan Morris — all players who once felt like sure things. So what happened? We break down why their trajectories have stalled, what went wrong at club level, and whether there's still time for a second act.Finally, we react to the wildest stories from around world soccer. From Vinícius Jr.'s girlfriend revealing uncomfortable details involving Real Madrid, to Gabriel Barbosa's tense encounter with fans, to Cristiano Ronaldo's “missing” posters popping up in Saudi Arabia — it's another reminder that no sport delivers chaos quite like football. Timestamps:(6:30) – James Rodriguez's shock transfer to Minnesota United(21:30) - USMNT rising stars that have now faded(49:30) – Vini Jr's girlfriend's weird ointment story(53:30) – Reacting to other news around the soccer world Subscribe to The Cooligans on your favorite podcast app:

Champions League Decision Day sets the stakes across Europe, with knockout places, byes, and reputations on the line. We break down what's at risk, who faces real danger, and where opportunity exists to change an entire season in one night. Then we bring it home to Atlanta. Atlanta United's signing of Adrian Gill fits into a longer development pathway, and we hear directly from Matt Edwards on the offseason work, the role of homegrowns, Tata Martino's message, and the identity this team wants to build toward 2026. We also zoom out to the NWSL, where Trinity Rodman's new contract represents more than a star staying put — it's a signal of a league maturing, adapting, and investing in its future. Plus, a look ahead to the USMNT's World Cup preparation, why key player moves matter this summer, and what we want to see from the player pool as camp approaches. All of it wrapped up with the AST 3-4-3: local stories, global headlines, and a few reasons this game still makes us smile.

With a World Cup on home soil approaching, the most important question facing the United States men's national soccer team isn't hype — it's preparation. In this segment, we reset expectations for the U.S. men's national team after a strong finish to 2025 and examine how Mauricio Pochettino has guided real growth from the start of the year to the end. We also look at why potential club moves for Alex Freeman and Ricardo Pepi could have outsized impact this summer, and what matters most for players in the pool as they head toward pre-tournament camp. This is a conversation about consistency, clarity, and doing the work now so the results can follow later.

Hosts Gerasimos Gerovasiliou and John Halwood are joined by Tyler and Cole Bonner to discuss Trinity Rodman's record deal, recent Premier League action, and USMNT transfer rumors and deals.
