The 2026 FIFA Men's World Cup is approximately 200 days away.  Forty-two teams have qualified.  Six additional berths will be determined in March 2026.  The draw will take place on December 5, 2025 in Washington D.C.

Tonight John and Dylan attempt to look beyond the Trump/Infantino headlines and dig deeper into the sporting stories that are taking shape for this edition of the World Cup in order to remind us why we all love this beautiful game.

. . . and, as always, we'll kick off the show with any of the latest cup, lower league, pro/rel, soccer history, and San Diego specific news.
