Should America Just Host the World Cup Forever?
Podcast: The Ken Carman Show with Anthony LimaPublished On: Mon Jul 20 2026
Description: Fresh off the World Cup final and Argentina's post-match brawl, Ken and Anthony admit they don't really understand soccer's rules—extra time, stoppage minutes, and all—and lean on the "everybody's watching, so there must be something to it" logic to justify their newfound interest. They debate flopping and embellishment as soccer's biggest flaw, arguing it's practically the only reliable way to manufacture scoring chances at the highest level. A caller named Geo pushes back on the sport's accessibility, sparking a tangent on how expensive youth soccer has become in the U.S. compared to other sports. The segment wraps with the guys floating the idea that the U.S. should just host the World Cup every time, since the stadium infrastructure is already sitting there unused otherwise.
