The 2018 FIFA World Cup has kicked off! So far, it's been fantastic.

In this new episode talk the opening matches of the World Cup, Landon Donovan pledging his support to the Mexico national team, and end with MLS discussion covering the firing of Jason Kreis as Orlando City SC's head coach.

The beer of the pod was brought in by Ron, and in honor of how many World Cup nations had a Russian Imperial Stout as their top rated beer, he graced the show with a true top rated classic in North Coast Brewing Company's Old Rasputin Imperial Stout.
