In Episode 5 of the Just for Kicks podcast, I share my thoughts on the impact Fort Wayne FC's open tryout has on the local talent pool. I give my thoughts on the off-season so far for the Chicago Red Stars and what direction I believe they are heading in long-term. Later, I give my thoughts on the World Cup so far and break down the U.S. Men's National Team's run to the Round of 16. I also share my thoughts on what they need to do heading into the 2026 World Cup on home soil. Plus, we pay tribute to Grant Wahl.



Note: I mistakenly said that Grant Wahl was 48 years old. He was actually 49. I apologize for that mistake.
