Jon Nelson brings you the best of SDH AM this week, featuring a World Cup on Georgia soil, the future of refereeing in American soccer, and a behind-the-scenes look at MLS coverage on Apple TV.
The 2026 IFCPF World Cup is underway at the Arthur M. Blank U.S. Soccer National Training Center in Fayetteville! U.S. CP National Team head coach Stuart Sharp, Georgia native Jacob Crumley, and captain Josh Brunet discuss the opportunity to compete for a world championship at home and the continued growth of CP football.
U.S. Soccer's Head of Refereeing and Hall of Famer Carrie Seitz joins the show to discuss the state of officiating, the new R90+ referee development program, and why building up referees instead of breaking them down is essential to the future of the game.
Plus, MLS on Apple TV's Spanish-language broadcast team takes center stage as Antonella González and Sammy Sadovnik share stories from the booth and sidelines, explain the preparation behind their broadcasts, and look ahead to another big MLS weekend.
