Summary
And just like that, it was over. Today is MK’s postmortem of the U.S. Men’s National Team in the World Cup. The USA went out with a mighty whimper after all the hype leading up to the Round of 16 match against Belgium. Robert Kerr and Jason Davis look back on the defeat and try to avoid the standard American discussion about all the systemic reasons the United States can’t get over the Round of 16 hump. SHould we really be that upset about how this tournament ended up? We also take a look at why growth matters and whether this World Cup matters in terms of the game’s popularity in this country. What do fans hope to accomplish with this growth? Will that growth actually fuel World Cup success? Tune in for the discussion, stay for the unhinged Jason rants. https://www.youtube.com/@MorningKickaround You can now support the show on Ko-Fi! Get Your MK Ultra Merch! Follow us on X. …
