World Cup 006 | Is America A Football Country Yet?
About this episode
The episode discusses the state of football in America and the expectations for Team USA in the upcoming World Cup.
It is essential for the success of international football tournaments that the hosts do well, and so far Team USA - undeniably the leader of the 2026 World Cup triumvirate - have exceeded expectations. Yet much of the discourse remains fixated on the popularity of the sport in a country where there are certainly other, bigger games in town. What will it take for the conversation to move on from the health of football in America? Jack Pitt-Brooke, Rory Smith and Jonathan Wilson dial are on the ground to take a pulse. P1: (11:30) P2: (29:58) For this summer's main event, we are offering all new signups to SC Libero, the most important of the least important membership clubs, a two-week free trial.
