Colin is joined by U.S. Men's soccer legend Landon Donovan and host of the “Unfiltered Soccer” podcast with Tim Howard to preview the 2026 World Cup.

They start with group J featuring 2022 champions Argentina & Lionel Messi and Landon explains why Argentina is great with Messi… but also great WITHOUT him (:30). 

Moving to group K headlined by Portugal and Cristiano Ronaldo, they discuss whether Portugal is capable of hoisting the trophy and providing the one missing piece to Ronaldo’s resume (2:20). 

They head to England’s group L and discuss the overvalued expectations for the English team and the crushing pressure they face from an aggressive media (4:00). 

Finally, Landon recounts his favorite places to play around the world as a member of the U.S. team (7:30)
