Colin is joined by U.S. Men's soccer legend Landon Donovan and host of the “Unfiltered Soccer” podcast with Tim Howard to preview the 2026 World Cup.

They start with group J featuring 2022 champions Argentina & Lionel Messi and Landon explains why Argentina is great with Messi… but also great WITHOUT him (:30). 

Moving to group K headlined by Portugal and Cristiano Ronaldo, they discuss whether Portugal is capable of hoisting the trophy and providing the one missing piece to Ronaldo’s resume (2:20). 

They head to England’s group L and discuss the overvalued expectations for the English team and the crushing pressure they face from an aggressive media (4:00). 

Finally, Landon recounts his favorite places to play around the world as a member of the U.S. team (7:30)

Colin Cowherd & Landon Donovan react to World Cup Draw: How Far Will Messi & Ronaldo Advance?

Colin's top takes of the week.

Colin reacts to the USMNT winning their round of 32 knockout game against Bosnia-Herzegovina.

He starts with the red card issued to star US striker Falarin Balogan and argues it was clearly the wrong call and purely incidental contact rather than a reckless tackle (3:30). He declares Malik Tillman’s free kick potentially the best free kick ever struck by the USMNT (6:00).

He pivots to the NBA and breaks down the Celtics trading Jaylen Brown to the 76ers for Paul George plus picks. He believes the problem is Jaylen Brown thinking he’s the smartest man in every room and Brad Stevens wanted out of the contract (9:30). 

Then he’s joined by Nick Wright, host of “First Things First” on FS1 and the “What’s Wright” podcast.

They react to two blockbuster NBA trades: the Heat trading for Giannis (18:00) and the Wolves trading for LaMelo Ball (33:00)
