In this episode, we’re back and kicking off our coverage of the 2026 FIFA World Cup as it arrives in Seattle! The biggest tournament in the sport is finally here in the city, and we’re getting into everything that comes with it. We start with the USMNT, breaking down their group-stage hopes, expectations, and where they stand heading into a massive tournament where the pressure is officially on. Then we preview every group-stage World Cup match coming to Seattle, including Belgium vs Egypt, USA vs Australia, Bosnia & Herzegovina vs Qatar, and Egypt vs Iran – a slate that will see some of the biggest global superstars face off in Manchester City legend Kevin De Bruyne and Egyptian superstar Mo Salah.
