Daniel and Jason set Chelsea aside for a night to talk World Cup — the Balogun red card fallout, Trump's fingerprints all over FIFA, and why this might be one of the best tournaments in years.We're taking a break from Chelsea business this week because, frankly, the World Cup has eaten our lives. Between Cape Verde nearly taking down Argentina, England-Mexico going down as one of the matches of the tournament, and an all-time stinker from Spain-Portugal (Roberto Martinez remains undefeated at ruining things), there's been no shortage of storylines. We get into all of it, plus why this tournament — despite the pre-cup doom and gloom about ticket sales and logistics — has turned into a genuine success.The Balogun Red CardThe biggest controversy of the week: Folarin Balogun's red card against Belgium got walked back, letting him play tonight instead of serving his suspension mid-tournament. We go back and forth on this one hard — was it technically a red card by the letter of the law? Probably. Was there any malicious intent? Not even close. We dig into the FIFA rulebook quirk that let this happen (deferring the suspension rather than rescinding it), and why this isn't as unprecedented as people are claiming — Ronaldo got the same treatment earlier in this tournament, and Garrincha's eerily similar situation from the 1962 World Cup gets a full airing.Trump, FIFA, and the Optics ProblemWe can't talk about the Balogun decision without talking about Trump, who wasted no time taking credit for it. FIFA's insistence that an “independent committee” made the call doesn't survive contact with basic FIFA history, and we spend a good chunk of the episode on how corrupt the optics are — even while admitting we're thrilled to have Balogun back for tonight's match. It's a two-minds situation: we know it's shady, and we still want the win.Is This the Best World Cup in Years?Once we get the controversy out of our system, we talk about why this tournament has exceeded every expectation — the crowds, the celebrations (Norway's row routine, England belting out Wonderwall in the Azteca), and the sheer logistics of running a World Cup across a country the size of the United States. We also get into some genuinely bad officiating (the Paraguay-France match deserves its own trial), the golden boot race between Haaland, Messi, Mbappé, and Kane, and — because we couldn't make this up if we tried — Jordan Henderson breaking his arm jumping over an advertising board after the England-Mexico match.We close out with our prediction for USA-Belgium tonight and a look ahead to Friday's match if the US advances.

In this pre-July 4th episode of the Derek Hunter Podcast, Dean Karayanis kicks off the celebration of America's 250th anniversary by taking aim at the media's determination to paint the U.S. as a dystopia. Despite negative narratives and travel warnings, international tourists visiting for the World Cup are flooding social media with praise for American life — right down to our air conditioning, Buc-ee's, and Bass Pro Shops. Dean breaks down the condescending media coverage from The New York Times and Politico that report Democrats are deeply uncomfortable with foreign visitors actually enjoying the United States. The monologue transitions to international relations and immigration policy following a Supreme Court ruling on Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for Haitians and other foreign nationals. Dean criticizes the media's framing of the Iranian national soccer team's elimination and calls out establishment figures like Mike DeWine and John Kasich for condescending, racist portrayals of Haitians, along with comparisons to the strict border enforcement policies of the Dominican Republic and Canada. Finally, drawing from his latest column in the New York Sun, Dean looks back at economic history to debunk Pope Leo's declaration of food as “a basic human right.” By revisiting Governor William Bradford's diaries, he explains how even the deeply pious Pilgrims at Plymouth Colony tried and quickly abandoned collectivism because it fundamentally goes against human nature. Dean closes with a patriotic reminder of the patriots who won the nation's independence — including 25% of Americans at the Battle of Yorktown who were Black — and issues a call to celebrate the American experiment.

Is the Democratic Party experiencing an internal collapse? In this episode of The Tudor Dixon Podcast, Tudor examines the growing influence of democratic socialists following New York's primary elections and asks whether the Democratic Party has lost control of its own movement. Tudor also celebrates America 250, discusses the opening of the new museum beneath the Lincoln Memorial, and highlights the Trump administration's restoration of national monuments ahead of America's 250th birthday celebrations. She weighs in on recent acts of vandalism at the National Mall, the political reaction to President Trump's patriotic initiatives, and why she believes the fight over America's identity is only beginning.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Tim Conway Jr. Show Hour 1 (6.19) Conway kicks off the hour in full World Cup USA mode as the U.S. beats Australia 2-0 and heads to the knockout round. USA! USA! But the celebration gets interrupted by John Kobylt’s Boyle Heights warehouse fire, which reignites after the wind shifts and causes another flare-up. Then the crew heads to Washington, D.C., where World Cup fans packed the National Mall for a massive watch party. Conway also takes on the controversial Nike USA home kit, with fans saying the wavy red and white stripes look more like vintage prison jumpsuits or chain gang uniforms than a World Cup jersey. Later, the hour turns serious with the latest on an armed and dangerous CHP pursuit suspect tied to a double homicide in Pomona. The hour wraps with Conway trying to become a real FIFA fan and buy tickets on SeatGeek — only to have the site think he’s a robot. And the prices are wild: the cheapest ticket to USA vs. Turkey is around $2,100 for the worst seat, while prime seats in section C108, Row 22 are going for $5,550 to $8,000. Soccer fever is here, and so is sticker shock.

Alex Solana joins the show to break down the latest World Cup storylines, starting with praise for the United States after what he calls their best half of soccer ever in their opening match against Paraguay, arguing that this team is no fluke and is firmly competitive on the world stage. The conversation then turns to Lionel Messi, who continues to defy age with a hat trick in his World Cup opener at 39 years old, sparking the ongoing debate about whether he is officially the greatest player of all time. From there, Solana evaluates the tournament picture, highlighting France as the deepest and most complete roster and current favorite, while also discussing Portugal's intriguing dynamic with Cristiano Ronaldo nearing the end of his career but still commanding global attention. The segment wraps with a look at England's chances and where they fit into the mix of top contenders.

How great was World Cup USA 1994 — and did it change football forever?In a special change of direction for By Far The Greatest Team, Graham Dunn and Jamie Rooney step away from ranking a club or national team to debate the greatness of an entire tournament: World Cup USA 1994.And who better to guide us through it than legendary US soccer writer Michael Lewis, a journalist who has covered World Cups since 1986 and witnessed first-hand the rise, fall and rebirth of soccer in America.The 1994 World Cup arrived in the United States surrounded by scepticism. Could a country obsessed with NFL, baseball and basketball really host football's greatest tournament? Would American crowds understand it? Would the world embrace a World Cup played in giant stadiums, under summer heat, in a nation still searching for its soccer identity?The answer, as history now shows, was far bigger than anyone expected.This episode explores how USA 94 became one of the most important World Cups in modern football history. From record-breaking attendances and packed stadiums to the commercial explosion that followed, the tournament helped prove that soccer could work in America. It laid the foundations for Major League Soccer, changed perceptions of the sport in the United States, and gave FIFA a glimpse of football's huge commercial future.But this was not just a business story. USA 94 gave us unforgettable football drama: Brazil's fourth World Cup triumph, Romário and Bebeto, Roberto Baggio's penalty heartbreak, Bulgaria's golden run, Ireland shocking Italy, Maradona's failed drugs test, the tragedy of Andrés Escobar, and a tournament that mixed sunshine, spectacle, controversy and genuine sporting greatness.Graham, Jamie and Michael debate whether USA 1994 deserves to be remembered as a great World Cup, a commercially important World Cup, or one of the true turning points in football history.And, of course, it all ends with the big question:Where does World Cup USA 1994 rank in the Greatness Index of World Cup finals?TakeawaysUSA 94 changed soccer in America The tournament helped shift soccer from a niche sport in the United States into something with mainstream potential.It helped create Major League Soccer The success of the World Cup directly contributed to the launch of MLS in 1996, giving American soccer a professional foundation.It proved football could sell in the US Huge crowds, major sponsorships and global attention showed FIFA the commercial power of the American market.The tournament was packed with iconic moments From Baggio's missed penalty to Maradona's exit, Brazil's triumph and Bulgaria's shock run, USA 94 delivered unforgettable stories.Its legacy is still being felt today With the World Cup returning to North America in 2026, the shadow of 1994 still hangs over the future of football in the United States.If you enjoy these podcasts, please don't forget to subscribe and give us a rating and also tell everyone about them!

This week begins with more serious matters, addressing the recent tragedies at Brown and in Sydney, along with the passing of the Reiners. These events are given the space and respect they warrant.The episode then moves to the United States hosting the FIFA World Cup and whether the country earned the right to do so, or simply wrote a very large check. There is also a breakdown of Dave Portnoy's very public meltdown after losing a $250,000 bet, which felt both shocking and completely inevitable.A separate segment focuses on Jim Harbaugh's coaching future and what it says about leadership and accountability in modern sports.Elsewhere, NFL picks are made, which should concern no one and be followed by no one. The episode also examines the growing trend of athletes turning to politics, a development that guarantees attention and very little middle ground.Gambling Mad with Norman Chad: sports, betting, culture, and the quiet realization that none of us are really in control.

Considering he's from STL, it's even more endearing to local fans.The week wouldn't be complete without going back and reflecting on all the change and the news we got from Mike Illig and Kerry Zavagnin's pressers. Weaved into that conversation is a mini dive into my editorial about how ownership may have still botched the Peter Vermes firing.We honor Tim Melia on the week of his retirement (listen to Thad's exclusive podcast with Melia) and discuss a trade that snuck under the radar potentially for Sporting KC fans.Finally, the KC Current had the week off, but still made a bit of news on the international front and with five (!!) of the 11 players of the month coming from KC: LaBonta, Temwa, Cook, Debinha and Lorena.In the Digital Crawl, we touch on a few more topics, including:The future of the Women's World Cup (USA & UK)The Des Moines Menace being bounced from the US Open CupAnd FC 25 jersey updates for SKC and the CurrentHere is a rundown of topics (and approximate start times):Sporting KC finally win, and soccer is fun again! - 6:46Mike Illig and Kerry Zavagnin pressers - 40:19SKC Round-up - 1:08:33KC Current Round-up - 1:13:44Digital Crawl - 1:16:04Upcoming GamesUSA vs. Brazil, Tues.

"We were the promoters of the game. We did funky things... I went on to Conan O'Brien when he was kind of coming up, and I had to play soccer on stage with a bunch of pit bulls. These are the things that you had to do to promote the World Cup back in '94. Now it's different."Herc sat down with Tony Meola, goalkeeping legend of the USMNT. Tony was a true pioneer in soccer and shared his experiences from the three World Cups he participated in, anecdotes from his best year in MLS with the Kansas City Wizards, discussed the changes in the soccer landscape in America over the past 30 years, and shared a special memory about the presentation of iconic denim kits from the World Cup USA 94'.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
