About this episode

Homer and Bryan Bulaga discuss the U.S. men's soccer team's loss to Belgium and analyze key players for the Packers.

Homer and Bryan Bulaga open the hour reacting to the U.S. men’s soccer team’s ugly 4-1 loss to Belgium, with Bulaga calling the performance gutless and saying Belgium looked like adults playing against a youth team. Bulaga breaks down the goalie mistake, the easy early goal, and why the “golden generation” talk around U.S. soccer feels overhyped after another blowout against a real opponent. Jason Wilde joins for the Bryan Bulaga Hour and discusses his annual list of the most important Packers players, starting with Javon Hargrave at No. 20. Wilde and Bulaga focus on why Hargrave and Zaire Franklin could matter as much for veteran leadership and maturity as they do for on-field production. The hour closes with more Packers division talk, including how Micah Parsons’ absence could affect Green Bay’s start and whether Jacob Misiorowski throwing a no-hitter is more likely than a four-way NFC North tie.
