A history of American wonderkids
In honor of the many many youngsters getting minutes for the USMNT this international window, we take a look back at the history of wonderkids/wunderkinds in American men's soccer. Was Freddy Adu the first? Where does Julian Green fit in? Is Pulisic the most successful so far? And, generally speaking, why are Americans so obsessed with the next big thing? But we also range all over the place, with discussions about the wildness of Jermaine Jones, the Donovan-Dempsey debate, Project 2010, and much much more!WE HAVE A YOUTUBE CHANNEL!We're posting all our episodes here!

Messi and Argentina's Twenty-Year Story

What happened to Paul Pogba?
Paul Pogba went from teenage wonderkid to World Cup winner to a doping ban that nearly ended everything. And now, out at Monaco but battling fresh injury setbacks, his career is at another crossroads. We trace the full ride: his breakout at Juventus, his blockbuster return to Manchester United (and why it never quite clicked), the positive drug test that derailed everything, his comeback attempt in France, and what might come next — including whether MLS could be the final chapter.WE HAVE A YOUTUBE CHANNEL!We're posting all our episodes here!

Three Flags, One Badge: The Story of Bosnian Football
The Premier League of Bosnia was born in 2000 out of the wreckage of a brutal civil war, and served as a deliberate attempt to unite three separate ethnic football cultures under one roof. It hasn't always worked cleanly, but out of that turbulence came something remarkable: a golden generation that took a young, war-scarred nation to its first World Cup in 2014, and now back again in 2026.WE HAVE A YOUTUBE CHANNEL!We're posting all our episodes here!
