Pulisic's "Soft" Label Sparks Debate After US's Belgium Meltdown

Fox Sports analyst Stu Holden's brutal breakdown of Christian Pulisic's rough night (turnovers on his first three touches) kicks off a debate over whether Pulisic deserves the "soft" label being thrown at him online, with the crew questioning if his injury was gamesmanship or legitimate. Ken and Anthony rip the shaky USA goalkeeper's wandering positioning, joke about Belgium's population and waffle culture, and admit they know almost nothing about the country beyond that. The conversation shifts to whether America's growing EPL fandom and World Cup hosting duties actually moved the needle on soccer's place in the country, with Ken declaring the old "is soccer taking over" argument officially dead. Producer John and reporter Owen weigh in on what youth sports look like in their own communities, noting soccer jerseys were everywhere at Bay Village's July 4th events but hockey and baseball still dominate elsewhere.
