On this episode of Hometown FC, we sit down with Jason Collinsworth, host of the I Hate Soccer Podcast — a show built around one simple idea: questioning the game from the outside looking in.

We dive into:

  •  Why soccer struggles to connect with certain American audiences 
  •  The real reasons people say the game is “boring” 
  •  Youth soccer culture in the U.S. — what’s broken and what’s misunderstood 
  •  College soccer, development pathways, and the gap vs. the rest of the world 
  •  What soccer people get wrong when defending the game 

This isn’t an echo chamber. It’s a real conversation that challenges assumptions from both sides.
