06/13/2018 Soccer Matters Hour 2

Glenn begins the second hour reviewing the news of the joint bid of US, Canada, and Mexico being awarded the 2026 World Cup, and the impending impact on Houston being awarded as a host city. A caller brings up the point of how fun it can be as an international soccer fan going to a World Cup game in Houston, and voices displeasure as a Mexican fan of Juan Carlos Osario, the Mexico coach. Glenn later breaks down the sudden removal of Spain boss Julen Lopetegui a mere 48 hours before their opening match with Portugal. A caller discusses with Glenn the potential for Uruguay and Russia to advance out of Group A. Glenn then considers teams’ chances to win it all, doubting Argentina’s chances. Glenn also airs part of his interview with former USMNT defender Marcelo Balboa and what went wrong during the USA’s 1998 World Cup campaign.
