In today’s Morning Espresso on the SDH Network—brought to you by Oglethorpe University—we open with a conversation about “the noise” around young players and why learning to navigate it matters in professional environments. From there, it’s a full MLS SuperDraft recap, led by Atlanta United’s night: trading down from No. 2, adding allocation money, and still landing Enzo Dovlo at No. 12, along with Noah James later on, plus plenty of Atlanta and Georgia connections throughout the draft. We also cover the latest MLS roster moves, including business involving Vancouver, Austin, and D.C. United, and dig into the growing standoff between the NWSL and the Players Association over proposed roster and salary-cap mechanisms.

Enjoy and thank you for listening!

Manchester United scored four at Old Trafford and still couldn’t win… because this one turned into pure bedlam. On today’s Morning Espresso, we start with the College Cup final and an instant classic in Cary as Washington capped a dream postseason with a 3-2 overtime win over NC State to claim the first national championship in program history. The Huskies built a 2-0 lead, the Wolfpack roared all the way back to force extra time, and then Washington found the winner less than two minutes into overtime—celebration, video review, and all. Then we get into the chaos from Monday night in the Premier League: Manchester United and Bournemouth drew 4-4 in a game that swung three different directions and never stopped accelerating. United led, lost the plot, rallied late, and still had to settle for a point in one of the most entertaining matches of the season. And the big U.S. men’s national team concern: Tyler Adams exited after five minutes with what Bournemouth suspect could be MCL damage in his left knee. We’ll talk about what it could mean short-term, and why the bigger picture—2026—is what makes this so nerve-racking. All that, plus a quick spin through the rest of the global and domestic headlines in The Refill.

Jason Longshore takes you through the weekend around the world in this edition of SDH AM, he's joined by Abe Gordon to talk World Cup and hydration breaks and Bart Keeler to talk about refereeing evolution especially when it comes to video replay usage.

In Europe, Real Madrid battled to a crucial road win at Alavés as Kylian Mbappé returned from injury and public support for Xabi Alonso surfaced amid weeks of noise around his future.
