#192 - Landon Donovan speaks on the World Cup

We’re back with Episode 192 of the USA Soccercast, and we get a double dose of Landon Donovan on this episode as we get ready for the World Cup! First, we were fortunate to sit down with Landon as part of his work with the Abbott Dream Team, which sends a couple of players from the United States to train at Real Madrid. It’s a great opportunity for them, and Landon speaks about not just the World Cup, but the opportunity the access to top notch soccer can have for aspiring players. We then got a chance to see Landon Donovan in action at a Raising Cane’s in Inglewood in Hollywood Park just steps from SoFi Stadium. The new Raising Cane’s location was the site of him not just serving chicken to fans, but also to answer questions about the World Cup and what the USMNT players are probably going through as they are a couple of days away from walking out onto the field at SoFi Stadium for their opening match against Paraguay. Landon’s always engaging and candid, and this episode is a must listen! Don’t forget to follow us on ⁠⁠Bluesky⁠⁠, ⁠⁠Twitter⁠⁠, and ⁠⁠YouTube⁠⁠!

#191 - 365 days, 365 USMNT facts (w/ Tracey Reavis Savell)

Ever wondered what USMNT moment occurred on a particular day? June 18th? March 25th? December 1st? Well, now we have a book that chronicles those moments. On Episode 191, we sit down with author and journalist Tracey Reavis Savell to discuss her new book, United States Soccer on this day: A 365-day journey of games, goals, and moments in U.S. Men’s National Team History. It’s a great conversation as we go through some of the important dates in the year and what went into the research behind creating a calendar of U.S. Soccer moments. It’s a nice walk down memory lane in marking some of those moments, from important matches to player birthdates, to other moments that helped the growth of the USMNT program. The book is available on BookBaby Bookshop and Amazon, and it’s a cool way to know the trivia of what happened in U.S. Soccer history on each day of the year.

#190 - Recapping the Senegal win, but Germany awaits

The United States Men’s National Team are in the middle of their preparation for the 2026 World Cup. We discuss the win over Senegal and what’s to come against Germany on Episode 190. The 3-2 win over Senegal was a good one, and we break down what went right and what needs to be cleaned up. A win over a top 15 team is always one to take to the bank, but there’s still work to be done. We then get into a small preview for the Germany match on Saturday, which will be a different beast. To feel like you can dream of advancing far at the World Cup, you have to show you can beat elite, perennial contenders like Die Mannschaft. Who will start? What changes will Mauricio Pochettino make? We will go through them as we look forward to their final match before the World Cup.

#189 - What USMNT matchday is really like for fans (w/ Nick's World of Football)

For fans traveling to the United States for the 2026 World Cup, there are probably a ton of questions about what to expect and what a World Cup match could look like. We seek to answer those questions in a crossover episode 189! On the podcast Nick’s World of Football, started by an Aussie who formed an Atlanta United supporters group in Sydney, we have a almost 80-minute conversation that deals with American supporters culture, what tailgates look like, what the matchday experience can include, and how we think the United States Men’s National Team will do at the World Cup. It’s a long conversation, but it’s an informative one and definitely worth it! If you’re looking to watch the video of this episode, head to the YouTube page for Nick’s World of Football.

#188 - Who made it? Who didn’t? Analyzing the World Cup roster

The roster is here! It’s time to take a look at the 26 players who made it and those who didn’t on Episode 188. The USMNT roster leaked over the weekend but was officially announced on Tuesday. We take a look at the 26 players who comprise the roster that will play in a World Cup on home soil. For those players, their journey begins to try and go after the ultimate dream of winning a World Cup on home soil, something a host has not done since France in 1998. On the other side are the players who didn’t make the roster, and we give them their due as well. It’s not easy for those guys to not get called in, but they were a big part of this process of preparing the team for the World Cup.

Great concise show

Well packaged in a small bite format to concisely get you information on US Soccer from a very I formed host. I’ve come to dread the 1.5-2ht podcast pop up in my feed. I have the time and attention span, but much of that time is often filler. Not here; straight to business. Host is very knowledgeable about the game and all around life perspective which comes in handy for interviews. Thanks for the show!
Foul Language Not Accepted
