With the 2025 FIFA World Club Cup starting this coming weekend, we take a deeper dive into the history international club cup competitions.  We'll pay particular focus on the USA's International Soccer League (1960-1965) and how it played a role in shaping both today's version of the Club World Cup as well as the professional soccer scene leading up the the formation of the NASL.

And, as always, we will catch you up on some of the latest cup, pro/rel, lower league, and San Diego news.
