Bulldog and Friends: Recent Episodes
Todd Buller, Bo Buller
The 2026 FIFA World Cup has come to a close, and it's time to unpack what it all means for the United States Men's National Team. In this episode of BAF, we reflect on the highs, the heartbreak, and the defining moments of a tournament that captivated a nation. We break down the USMNT's performances, evaluate Mauricio Pochettino's tactical decisions, discuss which players elevated their stock and who failed to meet expectations, and examine whether the team truly took a step forward despite another knockout-stage exit. Reports indicate U.S. Soccer is expected to retain Pochettino through the 2030 World Cup despite the disappointing Round of 16 loss, making the long-term direction of the program a central talking point.
Looking ahead, we project the core of the 2030 squad, identify the young players who could become the next generation of stars, and debate what structural changes—from player development to federation decisions—are needed for the United States to compete consistently with the world's elite. Was hosting the World Cup a turning point for American soccer, or just another missed opportunity? Join us as we look back, challenge the narrative, and begin the conversation about where U.S. soccer goes from here.

With Los Angeles preparing to host global events like the World Cup, Super Bowl, and Olympics, Alan explains why large gatherings can create dangerous environments for trafficking, what misconceptions people often have, and how organizations like Saving Innocence are working with law enforcement, federal agencies, hotels, transportation workers, and the public to get ahead of the problem.
