In an unprecedented move, FIFA have removed Floarin Balogun's 1-match red card ban from the incident in the Bosnia game, allowing Flo to play in tonight's matchup against Belgium. Tune in as we break down this wild situation, which includes U.S President Donald J. Trump making a phone call to FIFA President Gianni Infantino to protest the decision, as well as harsh backlash from a hypocritical UEF...

In an absolute mess of a game late last night, the USMNT toppled Bosnia 2–0 in a physical, and poorly refereed game. Tune in to Ep. 24 as I break down the gross inconsistencies FIFA has amongst their referees and the decisions they make. This was an absolute malpractice of VAR, and it now leaves the U.S without their best player as they face European giant Belgium this Monday. This is a public epi...

Today I break down exactly what the USMNT need to do if they want to crack Bosnia's mid-low-block that they will sit in all night for the opening Ro32 game. It is critical the U.S take a Switzerland-like approach to Bosnia, as they trumped them 4–1 in the group stage, and not a Canada-like approach, which ended in a 1–1 draw. With Pulisic back, I think it looks better than ever for the U.S to grab...

Join Jack Cavanaugh and I as we break down how the knockout rounds of the 2026 FIFA World Cup will unfold, and just how far the U.S will go.

Tune in for the best analysis you could ever wish for. This is a public episode. If you would like to discuss...

Last night the USMNT experienced heartbreak in the 90+ as they fell to Turkey 3–2 in the final game of Group D. On the bright side, however, is that the U.S only used one starter in Weston McKennie against Turkey, as they fielded a team full of back-ups. Today I broke down the good, the bad, and the ugly of our reserves, with a special focus on the midfield and back four. This is a public episode....

In what is essentially a friendly match in game week three of the FIFA 2026 World Cup, the already qualified, Group D-topping, USMNT will face the already eliminated, and World Cup “Dark Horses” in Turkey come 10 pm Thursday night in Sofi Stadium. Today I broke down how the USMNT will line up, as they battle minor injuries and yellow card troubles, while wanting to keep the momentum going, as they...

Tune into episode 19 to hear me breakdown the USMNT's historic group-topping performance, as they beat Australia 2–0 in game two, and advance to the knockouts at the top of thier group for the first time since South Africa in 2010. Remember, when a team plays a vicious 5–4–1 low-block, the game won't be pretty, and the U.S took their goals where they could. Tune in for everything you need to know...

Tune in for episode 18 as I break down exactly what to expect in tomorrow’s match up with Australia. Playing in a 5–4–1 low block, the U.S will have to be crafty to break down the Socceroos solid defensive line, manned by three giants in the middle of their back five. And make sure to stay for the inside scoop on Christian Pulisic’s calf knock as the U.S kickoff at 3pm Friday afternoon. This is a...

The USMNT are off to the dream start at the 2026 FIFA World Cup, thrashing CONMEBOL opponent Paraguay 4–1 in dominant fashion. Floarin Balogun netted 2 for the U.S, with nearly a third that was called offside to deny the hattrick, while super-sub Gio Reyna hit one of the best strucken balls you will ever see in the 90+7’ to cap off the night. Tune in as I break down my game notes and analysis of o...

It’s the best time of the year, or every four years, but the World Cup is HERE. In episode 16 I break down what to expect tactically from both the USMNT & PMNT, and who we can expect to see in both starting XIs. Today I broke down the common theme of how game one sets the tone for the USMNT’s World Cup runs, thus making Friday’s game at 9:00 pm EST that much more important. This is a public episod...

BREAKING NEWS: The Boston Red Sox have fired manager, and 2018 World Series Champion, Alex Cora after today’s 17–1 win over the Baltimore Orioles. The start to the season has been less than ideal for Boston, as they trail the Yankees by 7.5 games and have perhaps the weakest bats in all of the MLB. I broke down what to expect next, and perhaps why this was done, and who to really blame… This is a...
