A bonus installment of our series that explores the complexities and moral conundrums brought on by a World Cup hosted in Qatar. A collaboration between Men in Blazers and Crooked Media. In this episode, Rog and "Pod Save the World's" Tommy Vietor examine a tournament in which politics, sport and humanity have all been laid bare; USMNT captain Tyler Adams' leadership and poise when answering questions from Iran's state-run media; and what political and social scrutiny the United States could face as co-host for the 2026 World Cup.

Men in Blazers 04/19/24: WGFOP Weekend Preview, Presented by PrizePicks

"The reality is if you want to be a consistent national team player, you must be playing at a consistently good level in Europe."

Herc had a candid conversation with Matt Miazga, considered one of the top defenders in Major League Soccer. Their discussion revolved around all aspects of football, starting from Matt's early days in the NY Redbulls Academy, his experience playing for Chelsea and what's like being managed by Vincent Kompany on his days at Anderlecht in Belgium, and his memories of the rivalry with the Mexican national team, which included the famous viral incident involving Diego Lainez. They also talked about his current life as a player for FC Cincinnati in Major League Soccer.

04/17/24: Do it Live! Champions League INSTANT REAX

THE BIGGEST CLUB NEVER TO HAVE WON IN EUROPE. Yes, Arsenal fans, we're talking about your team. And no, the UEFA Cup Winners Cup doesn't count. But with the Gunners taking a step back in their hunt for a league trophy over the weekend, their best chance at victory this season may now be in the Champions League. Rog and New York Times chief soccer correspondent Rory Smith deep dive into the history of Arsenal to look back at just exactly how they became one of the biggest clubs in Europe, why legendary manager Arsene Wenger managed to do everything but lift the Champions League trophy, and whether or not Mikel Arteta's current squad have a legitimate shot at European glory.

Then, Rog and Rory hop on over to the Europa League to look at giant-killers Atalanta, fresh off of slaying Liverpool at Anfield in the first leg of their semi-final matchup. Just how did this little club from Bergamo become so successful? And what is the ceiling to their success? All of this and more on the latest European Nights...
