World Cup Is Here, USMNT Expectations, New Clubs And Dot The Map
The World Cup is here! After years of waiting and sifting through corruption, late-stage capitalism, and other cringey details, the actual soccer and global unity of the World Cup is upon us. With that in mind, we have our MK Ultra’s reports on the first few groups of the tournament. Today, we dig into the soccer, culinary, political, and cultural backgrounds of the nations playing in groups A, B, and C. Also, we have to talk about the U.S. Men’s National Team opening their campaign against Paraguay tonight. What do we expect from this one and what can we learn about Paraguay and their soccer culture? https://www.youtube.com/@MorningKickaround You can now support the show on Ko-Fi!

World Cup Grievances, Fever Pitch for USMNT, Women's Calendar Switch + More
World Cup Week is upon us! The USMNT had their final tune-up match this weekend in Chicago. The 2-1 loss to Germany was filled with both positives and negatives. The atmosphere was festive, Jedi Robinson scored a banger, but they ultimately fell to the Germans. Also, the USL Super League is abandoning its fall-spring calendar to better align with the NWSL. What does this mean for the league as a whole? What was behind their original calendar to begin with? What does this mean for the USL overall? So many questions. Finally, Robert and Jason take part in the time honored American tradition of complaining about things. They have more than a few grievances to aiur when it comes to this global soccer circus, so the guys are going to get it all out now so they can enjoy the soccer when it kicks off at the Azteca on Thursday afternoon. https://www.youtube.com/@MorningKickaround You can now support the show on Ko-Fi!

USL vs. MLS Battlegrounds, Simon Evans, Dot The Map, + Member Bonus Friday
We are at T-minus six days until the World Cup and T-minus seven days until the USMNT kicks off their run against Paraguay. The signs are there that the United States is ramping up for the hoopla. Where does the hype level stand for the MK Ultras and the country and world at large? What about the expectations for the USMNT? Also, Greenville Triumph opened their new stadium to a sell out crowd and a victory. How does the new venue compare to one of the more talked about renderings in MK history? Simon Evans then joins the show to discuss the state of lower league American soccer after private equity investment first got involved. He also touches on the MLS Next Pro vs. USL model of lower league soccer, what needs to be done to get teams to stick around, and more. Finally, we #DotTheMap with our newest MK Ultras. https://www.youtube.com/@MorningKickaround You can now support the show on Ko-Fi! Get Your MK Ultra Merch! Follow us on X.

World Cup Water Breaks, Floating Watch Parties, Cotton Bowl Plans, + more
Happy Monday! Holy cow there’s only ten days until the World Cup. With that in mind, we have another World Cup heavy show today. The U.S. Men’s National Team started their pre-tournament friendlies with a 3-2 win over Senegal, complete with a fantastic performance from Christian Pulisic. How do we feel after this match and are we any more confident in Mauricio Pochettino's squad? Also, with hydration breaks mandatory in this World Cup, will more teams treat them like a “basketball timeout” like Poch did in the Senegal match? Is that even allowed? Do we want mid-half tactical conversations? We then check in on some of the more unique watch parties going down for the World Cup, including a floating shindig in Seattle. Finally, we set the World Cup aside. Soccer Under Construction takes us to Dallas where Atletico Dallas has plans for the Cotton Bowl to make the seating capacity more realistic and we dig into MLS’s ratings on AppleTV. https://www.youtube.com/@MorningKickaround You can now support the show on Ko-Fi!

World Cup Ticket Price Crash, Big League Plans in Sacramento + more
Happy Friday from Morning Kickaround! We bring you a World Cup heavy show to launch you into the weekend. World Cup officials in Foxborough are telling people without tickets not to show up to the stadium. Kraft Sports Group CEO Jim Nolan has a blunt message for anyone thinking about coming to the stadium without a ticket. There’s some soccer under construction news to go in there as well. Sacramento is pushing the sale of expensive luxury suites at their new stadium. What does this say about their ambitions as a club? Is USL Premier really their top aim? Also, Dalton, Georgia is claiming to be Soccer Town USA. Is this a legitimate claim or are there better places out there? But it’s back to the World Cup as TravelFootballFan joins the show to update us on the latest with ticket prices. Is a price crash coming as demand slows down?

USMNT Roster Is Official, FIFA Kills FIFA+, Todd Smith Author of "Relegated"
Welcome back from the holiday weekend! Morning Kickaround is here for the final countdown to the World Cup! We open the show with the USMNT roster. What do we think of this 26 player squad that will take on the world? What about the details behind how the roster was revealed and media “leaking” the roster? Lots to discuss over there. Also, FIFA quietly moved FIFA+ content over to DAZN. Is there a fear that content that was once free will soon become hidden behind a paywall? Author Todd Smith then joins the show to discuss his new book Relegated: One American’s Pints & Pies Journey from the Top to the Bottom of English Football. His book details his travels throughout the lower levels of the English football pyramid and how it’s vastly different from the spectacle of the Premier League and other large outfits throughout the world. Finally, we digest the discussion with Todd and what it means for community style clubs in the United States. It may not be possible to truly replicate that ecosystem, but what can be done to connect more American clubs to their local communities?

World Cup Broadcaster Joins, Stadium News, Dot The Map + More
Friday comes and with it, a ton of soccer to discuss. We open with some sour news out of the USL Super League. Spokane Zephyr is shutting down after two seasons of action in the winter women’s league. Was it worth it for them to try this project if it shut down after only two seasons? What does this mean for the future of the Super League? Also, the Tampa Bay Sun don’t seem to have the stadium plans they expected to have. Fox’s Tyler Terens then joins the show on the heels of him joining their World Cup broadcast team. Tyler talks about his journey in soccer commentary, pronouncing names, and much more. Finally, we #DotTheMap with our new ultras. Check out the show live Monday, Wednesday and Friday at 9:30 AM ET on YouTube where you can join the channel and become an MK Ultra.

Expansion Club Savior, Dotting The Map, World Cup Countdown
Wednesday is here and there’s a lot to get to. Robert Kerr and Jason Davis open with the most MLS proposal ever: clock stoppages during play. Will this most American of inventions come to the global game? Also, will the USL be able to make any gains because of the World Cup or should they follow MLS and take an extended break during the world’s soccer party? We then bring on a potential USL expansion club savior in new Sporting Cascades owner Bill Cornog. He’s a private equity guy investing in his local club in Eugene, Oregon. What are his thoughts on the next steps for the expansion club, the additional hurdles that seem to pop up everywhere for new clubs, and the involvement of private equity in sports? Finally, what’s the state of USL expansion across the board? Check out the show live Monday, Wednesday and Friday at 9:30 AM ET on YouTube where you can join the channel and become an MK Ultra.
