  • LWSC Radio: USMNT eliminated in group stage! Gregg Berhalter out?

    What's up internet. Are you Gregg Berhalter out now? The United States Men's National Team lost to Uruguay last night 1-0. Ed and Matt do an instant reaction podcast. It's another group therapy session really.

    We break down what went wrong in this game. There was the bad camera angle of the world feed. The officiating was an inconsistent mess. And that's before we get to the Uruguay goal being clearly offsides, right? The USMNT once again tried hard and had some good ideas. But they got outplayed. They lacked the finishing touch.

    We discuss everything from a micro and macro perspective. Matt goes off on why simply discounting this Copa America failure because of the Tim Weah red card is wrong. This is another moral victory that we've seen before in similar situations, just in the third game instead of the fourth. 

    Ed and Matt go back and forth on why this loss really hurts and what comes next. We predict whether or not Gregg Berhalter will be fired and what getting eliminated in the group stage means and says about 2026. Things are not well. Courage.

  • LWSC Radio: USMNT Panama Loss Instant Reaction

    What's up internet? This week on Last Word SC Radio, we do instant group therapy on that USMNT Panama loss. The United States Men's National Team lost to Panama after a first half red card from Tim Weah. The officiating was not great but had its issues. We discuss what Gregg Berhalter got wrong and what this means for his potential job security. Which other players did well in the circumstances and could have been better? We have answers. 

    Then we look ahead to the Uruguay game. We go through the various scenarios. Those missed chances against Bolivia may come back to haunt them. Then we predict whether or not the USMNT can or will get out of the group on Monday night.

  • Video Games 2 the MAX: Phil Spencer Wants an Xbox Handheld, Marvel Rivals Announced! # 391

    After a week that saw some big releases and exciting announcements, we have a week of interesting announcements, and more layoffs, Gearbox is free from Embracer Group, and Phil Spencer has a big interview talking about Xbox. Sean and Marc discuss it all in this edition of Video Games 2 the MAX.


    Phil Spencer had an interview with Polygon while at the Game Developer's Conference (links further below in the description) where he speaks about all sorts of things including wanting PC storefronts like Epic Games and Itch.io on Xbox, the cost prohibition of exclusives, a potential Xbox handheld, and more! Could this be a potential lifespring for Xbox? Or is this all essentially wish-listing from Phil?

    Marvel Rivals was suddenly announced and seems to take a lot of its inspiration from Overwatch. With Overwatch 2 in a bad spot, could a game from a big IP like Marvel overtake it and become the Defacto hero shooter?

    Also, Gearbox is sold to Take-Two Interactive, Resident Evil 9 could be open-world, layoffs at several SEGA European studios, and other places such as Nintendo of America and Certain Affinity. New details on the codename Condor game from Remedy and more!
