Loved the World Cup but don't know where to go from here? We've got you covered!

Think of us as your weekly crash course in football (soccer), made specifically for new fans. We’ll break down the players, teams, leagues, rules, rivalries, and all the things that make football so ridiculously fun, without making you feel like you need a PhD in soccer terminology.

Our goal? 15 minutes that take you from “Wait…who is that?” to “PASS THE BALL, BELLINGHAM!”

This week, we’re talking La Liga, Jude Bellingham, Lamine Yamal, Mbappé and why this could be your new favorite league to watch.

And by the end of the series, you’ll be ready to walk into your local pub, order your drink, pick your team and cheer right alongside the lifelong football fans.

Dear Kansas City…You didn’t just host the FIFA World Cup. You welcomed the world.For five matches, I had the incredible privilege of volunteering alongside people who gave their time, energy, and hearts to create something unforgettable. Every shift reminded me that the magic of a World Cup isn’t just on the pitch. It’s in the volunteers, the fans, the friendships, and the city that brings it all together.Thank you to FIFA for trusting Kansas City with this incredible tournament. Thank you to Kansas City FWC26 for building such an amazing volunteer experience. Thank you to Mayor Quinton Lucas for championing this city and showing the world what KC is all about. And to every volunteer I had the pleasure of working beside…you made long days feel too short. ❤️Kansas City, you showed the world your heart. And I was so lucky to be a tiny part of it.Now…how about we do it all again in 2031 for the FIFA Women’s World Cup? 🌎⚽
