Soccerwise

Chief Soccer Officer of FC Dallas talks to the SW crew about Lucho-mania, schedule change affect on his work, Superdrafts value, and plans for 2026.

Soccerwise was lucky to sit-down with Chicago's Director of Football & Head Coach Gregg Berhalter as the offseason begins. He talks with David about his time with the USMNT, the special season his son had, what wins in MLS, the potential of big name additions in Chicago, and much more.

The Soccerwise crew is preparing for a week without live shows. So Tom is setting the stage for what is most important to keep your eyes on. From coaching vacancies in KC & CLB to big DP holes in the attack of TOR, DAL & San Jose. Then they break down all the latest news from trades and signings + Superdraft news.10:15 SKC Coaching Hire Needs13:30 CLB Coaching Search21:00 TFC DP #9 Search28:00 Whitecaps Roster Squeeze33:30 FCC Roster Needs & Dream Dado Valenzuela Homes46:00 Christian Espinoza's Questionable MLS Future45:05 Justin Haak Ideal Landing Spots47:15 FCD & SJ Hunt For Game Changer DP #10s53:25 Sean Nealis & DC's Remake59:45 Orlando City Finding A Way Out Of Muriel Contract1:02:00 Thomas Chancaly Potential MLS Rehab Spots1:03:05 Austin's Dream Sale Of Osman Bukari + Nelson/Rosales Trades1:09:00 Rapids Sign U22 Defensive Mid1:12:25 Orlando Seal Two More Signings1:16:15 FC Dallas Commit Big To The Superdraft

Hey Soccerwise crew this is David dropping a sample of our new podcast "Kickback '26". We have built a capsule like this for every country that has qualified for 2026 World Cup so far. They all follow a similar format covering the history of the sport, top world cup moments/soccer moments for each country, urban legend or unsung heroes, and young players to know. All the episode are between 10-18 minutes long so consumable and easy to binge! About a quarter of them have interviews as well, of course not all as incredible as the great Diego Valeri.
