Happy New Year! We\u2019re in 2026, and it\u2019s an important year for soccer in the United States. On Episode 168<\/a>, we dive a bit further into some of the predictions we have for our USMNT<\/a> and USWNT<\/a> for the year, splitting the episode among the two teams.<\/p>\n

First, it\u2019s the USMNT, and with the World Cup taking center stage this summer, the bulk of the predictions are centered around that tournament. From a Golden Boot winner to predicting how far the team will go, we break down the predictions quickly for the team.<\/p>\n

We also discuss the USWNT, who have World Cup qualifying coming this fall when they play in the Concacaf W Championship. Their year builds up to that tournament, and they hope to have a year full of quality moments, player development, and some big results on the field.<\/p>\n

Finally, the show hopes to build to new heights in 2026, and it will be a busy year! If you have topic suggestions or you have questions for the pod, hit up the social media feeds to let us know!<\/p>\n
