Happy Soccer Podcast Day! This week on the podcast, the guys discussed the New Year, World Cup Final, and Pele. Unfortunately, after we recorded this episode, news broke with Gregg Berhalter and US Soccer that Bone and Beam didn't get to discuss in great detail. The guys will have plenty to say about all of that in next week's episode.

Happy Soccer Podcast Day! Bone and Beam are back for one final episode this year, where they preview the World Cup Final between Argentina and France. They also talked about the Gio Reyna / Gregg Berhalter controversy within the US Men's National Team, and paid tribute to Grant Wahl. Thanks for a great year - we look forward to talking more soccer with you in 2023!

Happy Soccer Podcast day! On this week's episode, Bone & Beam start off with Morocco's win over Spain in penalties (3:15). They also spend a few minutes on how much they've hated Fox's coverage of the World Cup this year and some other thoughts on the broadcasting of the games (13:11). Next, they discuss Portugal's 6-1 win over Switzerland, but more in particular the Cristiano Ronaldo benching and how his ego has once again gotten in the way of his career (19:42). After that, the guys preview the upcoming matches in the quarter-finals of the World Cup (33:00). Finally, they spend the last part of the show discussing the hiring of Wilfried Nancy by the Crew, why they're excited about the hire, and why he seems like a great fit for Columbus (42:24) As always, connect with the show on twitter - @BoneBeamUnited

Happy Soccer Podcast Day...well, kind of. We're trying to think good thoughts after the US loses to the Netherlands 3-1, but it frankly isn't easy. Bone and Beam unpack what went wrong for the US Men's National Team, where the mistakes were made, and what changes they would have made to avoid this loss. Then they take turns looking at the decisions from Gregg Berhalter, and question whether or not he should be the guy to lead the USMNT into the 2026 World Cup cycle. It's going to be a long three and a half years until the next World Cup for the men's team. But we're already looking forward to seeing what they can do with more growth over that time.

Happy Soccer Podcast Day! Groups E and F were quite the thing! Japan wins Group E with victories over Germany and Spain (why bother talking about that loss to Costa Rica?), but they didn't win without controversy! Bone and Beam talked about goal line technology, VAR and much much more on that storyline. And Spain survived the group basically on the strength of their opening win over Costa Rica, as goal differential allowed them to get the second spot in this group ahead of Germany, who looked for a few minutes like they might just lose to Costa Rica. Meanwhile, Belgium is distraught as they are eliminated, despite some brilliant chances for some of their stars. Morocco continues to impress, and they along with Croatia found their way through in Group F. And unfortunately for Canadian fans, their World Cup really never got going, as they lost all three of their games. Follow us on twitter @BoneBeamUnited

Plus, is it OK for US Soccer fans to question Gregg Berhalter now that he's guided the team to this next phase of the tournament? Finally, Bone and Beam break down the yellow card situation for the US, what this game meant to the Iranian players, and how difficult it will be for the US to knockout the Netherlands.

Happy Soccer Podcast Day! Bone and Beam are back to discuss an exhilarating day of soccer, Cameroon and Serbia ended in a 3-3 draw after multiple chances for both sides went wanting in the final 30 minutes; Ghana continued to impress while besting South Korea 3-2 in a game marred at the end by referee decision-making. Brazil outlasted Switzerland, getting a goal from Casemiro in the 83rd minute. And Portugal DOES talk about Bruno...Fernandez, as he scores two goals to get Portugal to the knockout round in their defeat of Uruguay. The guys shifted gears into previewing what to expect from the US Men's National Team, as they take on Iran in a must-win situation for the USMNT. What will this game look like, and how will Iran and the US try to sort each other out? All is discussed in this rapid fire episode. Follow us on twitter (@BoneBeamUnited) and look for a complete unpacking of the US game on Wednesday morning.

Happy Soccer Podcast Day! No one was able to "F--- Croatia" it turns out on this matchday, as Canada was undone by some veterans of the World Cup stage. Bone and Beam dove into that match, as well as some old guys who aren't getting it done right now in Belgium. Morocco is flying in this World Cup, and much of it was on display in Qatar on Sunday - and now Morocco needs only a point to move on to the knockout round. Meanwhile, Japan was shocked by Costa Rica, who aren't ready to bow out of the World Cup just yet. And in a game that before the tournament looked to be one of the best on paper, Spain and Germany fought to a surprising 1-1 draw, helping to give Germany life ahead of their third matchday.
