The World Cup is eight days away and the pre-tournament window just delivered its biggest result. Algeria beat the Netherlands 1-0 in Rotterdam, with Feyenoord winger Anis Hadj Moussa scoring a stunning 86th-minute curler at his own club's stadium for his first international goal. Jason breaks down what it means for Algeria heading into Group J against Argentina, Austria, and Jordan, and why Argentine media was treating it as breaking news.
Also on the show: Lamine Yamal's injury update ahead of Spain's opener, the DR Congo Ebola situation threatening their World Cup prep, Real Madrid's contested presidential election, and André Jardine parting ways with Club América after three Liga MX titles. Plus, Atlanta's World Cup history — how the city went from not having a seat at the table in 1994 to hosting a semifinal in 2026.
The 3-4-3 covers the three oldest players in the tournament, four headlines, and three things making Jason smile, including Greenville Triumph opening their new stadium and Bank of America's free ticket program for veterans and first responders.
Stoppage Time goes long on Atlanta United's transfer window, the state of the club since 2018, and the pure joy of what this World Cup moment means for soccer in this country.
