What's Wrong with the 2026 World Cup
from Feed the Fire: A Chicago Fire Podcast · host Bleav + Glass House Soccer
Hey, soccer fans! Despite loving the FIFA World Cup as the greatest sporting event in the world, Nick has a few things that he just can't stand about the tournament this year. Tune in as he rants about how mandatory hydration breaks are fundamentally changing the game of soccer into an Americanized commercial trap, how the expanded 48-team field has watered down the quality of the tournament, how bad broadcasting and terrible VAR coverage are making games difficult to enjoy, and how people just have to politicize everything about world soccer. If you are tired of FIFA prioritizing corporate revenue over the beautiful game, this video is for you. Tune in and join the conversation!
