    248. The World Cup-themed BuzzBallz are Diabolical

    When we saw that BuzzBallz were coming out with a soccer-themed collection ahead of the 2026 World Cup, we knew we were going to have to eventually try them out.

    246. Angel City FC's Sveindís Jónsdóttir is a Major Green Flag

    Since joining Angel City FC midway through the 2025 NWSL season, Sveindís Jónsdóttir has been a threat. A hot start to 2026 saw her score three goals to go with two assists through the first three games, and she'll be a key to the club's success the rest of the season. But she's also been a threat off the pitch, as she was the consensus pick as the player her teammates wouldn't let their sons date. We got to the bottom of it all — examining her thoughts on the 2026 Angel City FC season, and why she's not the red flag that her teammates think she is. (00:53) Is Sveindís a red flag? (03:50) The dynamic with the Angel City FC team (07:00) The 2026 Angel City FC season (14:57) Hanging out off the field (22:40) Living in LA: What's surprised her and what has disappointed her (30:20) What's on Sveindís' playlist Cast Hosts: Ramsey Abushahla, Julio Monterroza, & Brigitte Flores Producer: Roy Cho Subscribe to our newsletter for more interviews and latest news on street football, freestyle, and urban culture, read more about soccer culture on our website, and follow us on Instagram, Twitter, TikTok, and Facebook.

    242. Why Is It So Difficult to Make a Good World Cup Anthem?

    Music to accompany the World Cup is nothing new. Since 1990, FIFA has commissioned at least one song to become the official anthem of the world's biggest sporting event, but the earliest instances of fan-created World Cup songs go back even further. And while there have been a few hits, the duds are overwhelmingly more common, especially since FIFA entered the game in an official capacity. So why is it so difficult to make a World Cup anthem? That's what the crew explores in the latest episode of the Urban Pitch Podcast! Timestamps (02:10) Our new centerpiece: The Ballon d'Noir from Forty-One Magazine (05:06) "Lighter," the first FIFA World Cup song by Jelly Roll and Carin Leon (22:43) The history of World Cup music (33:58) Who we'd like to be on the next World Cup songs (42:52) Street Soccer USA LA Cup Cast Hosts: Ramsey Abushahla, Julio Monterroza, & Brigitte Flores Producer: Roy Cho Subscribe to our newsletter for more interviews and latest news on street football, freestyle, and urban culture, read more about soccer culture on our website, and follow us on Instagram, Twitter, TikTok, and Facebook.
