America's World Cup Loss Might Be Good for America

America's World Cup Loss Might Be Good for America

After Team USA's World Cup exit against Belgium, Michael offers a surprising reaction: disappointment, yes—but also relief. He unpacks the match, Matt Freese's heartbreaking night, the controversy surrounding Flo Balogun's reinstatement after President Trump's intervention with FIFA, and why he believes a U.S. victory might have overshadowed something even bigger. Plus, Michael explains why the real success story may be America's role as host of the World Cup—and why that matters long after the final whistle. Original air date 7 July 2026.
