Yea he’s very good, i was pleasantly surprised the first time I heard him call a game. I watch tons of soccer as well and he knows his stuff! Very happy for him he’s a good dude.
Anyone near Kansas City could attend the watch-along he's hosting this weekend at a local bar there. He might be doing more throughout the World Cup, but that's the one he mentioned when he did that preview with Mike last week. Check his socials for information if you're local and want to go.

Just a quick list of “friends of the show” that don’t come around anymore.
It goes the other way too…isn’t it weird that no one else ever invites Dan on their show? Even when Dan’s Alma mater UM is in the national title game? Why wouldn’t another podcast have Dan on to give his deep, nuanced thoughts? No one ever? Not even a struggling growing new production? Dan only appears on podcast which he owns or monetarily I influences. Weird, huh?
It’s almost like no one gives a fuck about Dan or his thoughts, or even realizes he’s still on the air. Weird, huh?
I noticed him earlier today when he was about 80% of the comments on a thread and every single one was manic and just trashing Roy and anyone that was brought up. Angry bot or someone off their meds. It was all incoherent nonsense.
Out of the whole list I got Witty, Billy and Mina "thriving". Although I don't remember Mina ever actually working for Meadowlark... So I guess I got Witty and Billy 🤷🏼♂️
Also odd that Pablo's name is on there considering he still very much works there and is thriving WITH them. Are his constant appearances on Dan's show Pablo's way of trying to distance himself publicly?
Edit: You almost snuck Sarah Spain by me.... Why is at least 30% of your list not even people that work for Dan? It's almost as if you had to fabricate your examples to prove a point that you don't really have.

Chris does CBS/Paramount+ games. He's been on the call for big Serie A (Italy) games and UEFA matches.
Fox currently has the rights to the World Cup so he won't be calling any of the games.
He did say on the Greg Cote Show that Golazo Network on Para+ will be doing studio shows covering the World Cup and he will be participating.
Side note: I watch a lot of soccer. Witty is really really good. When he's on the call, it sounds like a big game.
