#357: New Zealand vs USA recap Jan 19, 2023

Show notes

The USWNT started its two-legged series with New Zealand on Tuesday, and finishes it on Friday. Greg and Belz talk a lot about crossing, and not combining or moving off the ball very well in the middle of the park, but also get to detail some lovely goals. At the end we briefly discuss the January Camp roster.

Show notes

The era of HBO Max, TNT, Telemundo, Universo and Peacock is upon us with the U.S. women taking on New Zealand tonight under the new TV deals. Also, Major League Soccer embarks on a historic 10-year deal with Apple. John Ourand, a reporter for the Sports Business Journal and co-host of Marchand and Ourand Sports Media Podcast, joins Belz to help us understand what's going on, how it compares to what's happening in other sports, and what it means for soccer's bargaining power in America.

#353: Joe Machnik joins the podcast Jan 10, 2023

Show notes

From playing on fields of crushed cinder in the German-American League to broadcasting World Cup games from Qatar, Joe Machnik has pretty much seen it all. A few days before his 80th birthday, he joins for an interview to discuss the builders of American soccer, the 1990 World Cup, what exactly a handball is, how MLS teams disposed of those clocks that were used to count down the 5 seconds given to a player for a shootout in the early days of the league, and much, much more.

#351: A draft of USMNT prospects and late-bloomers for 2026 Dec 11, 2022

Show notes

Matt Hartman, Marcus Chairez, Alex Calabrese and Belz pick XIs of players who were not on the World Cup roster and have fewer than 5 caps. Some surprises. Some surprising omissions. We call it the Future Draft. Hopefully it introduces you to some names to keep track of over the next three years.

#350: Netherlands v USA recap Dec 07, 2022

Show notes

Greg and Belz review the action -- the three big lapses, the tactical wrinkles and adjustments, fatigue, pressing in a 4-3-3 vs setting up in a less confrontational 4-4-2, and our continued lack of final third cutting edge -- all within the context of a World Cup that was all-in-all a real step forward for the USMNT.
