Episode Details

The 2026 World Cup is rolling into Los Angeles with major stakes at SoFi Stadium, hosting eight games including a potential quarterfinal — a dramatic return to the U.S. after the 1994 final in Pasadena. The U.S. men’s team will base operations in Irvine for the group stage, playing two crucial early games in LA, a strategic move after the chaos of the 1998 squad. Iran’s arrival in LA for two group matches adds cultural intrigue, with the city’s large Iranian community — dubbed “Los Tehrangeles” — set to create a unique, electric atmosphere. As the tournament winds through LA, Spain, the U.S., or Argentina could return to SoFi for knockout drama — making this the most electrifying World Cup stop in the U.S. yet.
