Summary

Kyle and Brust are live from Bree Stevens in Madison for the USA-Australia World Cup watch party, and the guys dive into what makes Team USA soccer such a different kind of national sports experience. Ben questions whether World Cup soccer can really compete with USA basketball, hockey, or the Olympics, while Kyle argues the energy and global stakes make it unmatched. The guys react to USA goals, including Alex Freeman, son of former Packers receiver Antonio Freeman, finding the back of the net. They also debate whether America would dominate soccer if its best athletes grew up playing the sport. The hour closes with Kyle recapping his high-end sushi experience and why raw food still is not for him.
