Hour 4 features Alex Solana joining Joe Rose to discuss Team USA’s World Cup elimination and whether the United States can eventually close the gap with the world’s top soccer nations. The guys break down the talent gap exposed in the loss to Belgium, the challenges of America’s pay-to-play system, Mauricio Pochettino’s impact on the program, and the teams that could challenge France as the tournament favorite. The conversation then shifts to the NBA offseason, including whether DeMar DeRozan could make sense for Miami, Donovan Mitchell’s extension with Cleveland, the Heat’s need for role players, Nikola Jović’s development, and whether Miami can compete as a top-four team in the Eastern Conference. The hour also features more Dolphins discussion from Omar Kelly, including Miami’s young roster, potential breakout players, position battles, and why he believes the Dolphins can still win 10 games this season.
