Jeff Attinella and Seth Kushner dive into the biggest storylines from the 2026 FIFA World Cup as the tournament rolls through North America. Why does this World Cup seem to have more global superstars than ever before? Has the sport reached a new golden age of talent, or are fans simply more connected to the world's biggest players than ever? They also tackle one of American soccer's longest-running debates: why does seemingly everyone have an opinion about Alexi Lalas? And with Kylian Mbappé continuing to dominate the global stage, Jeff answers whether soccer's biggest star is the sport's version of Patrick Mahomes.

Plus, Jeff sits down with Dominic Casciato to discuss the Rowdies' season at the halfway point. Casciato reflects on the club's strong first half, the culture being built inside the locker room, the challenges that still lie ahead, and what he believes this team can accomplish down the stretch as they push toward the postseason. Casciato has helped guide Tampa Bay through one of its strongest starts in recent years and has already earned multiple USL Championship Coach of the Month honors in 2026.

From World Cup stars to Rowdies ambitions, it's another can't-miss episode with one of Tampa Bay soccer's most recognizable voices. ⚽🎙️
