On this all-new episode of the Acquired Taste Podcast, host Mike Jimenez and show producer Joe Garcia are joined by guest Katie Goodman. They discuss the recent USA Vs Mexico match descent into madness, NBA player Ja Morant's suspension, and the pay of US Men's National Team coach Greg Berhalter. Today's episode also features segments about the Texas Rangers and Houston Astros baseball teams, Formula One racing, Father's Day, and a struggling soccer team.

Today's guest Katie Goodman is a soccer enthusiast and a keen observer of the longstanding rivalry between the US and Mexico teams. She believes that the red cards shown during a recent game were justified, noting that even American player Weston McKinney deserved one due to his involvement in talking trash to the opposing bench. Katie was impressed by the US team's performance, citing their quality midfield and attack play. However, she also noted that Mexico lacked tenacity and was caught off guard during the initial 20 minutes of the game. Despite the rivalry, Katie did not condone the hateful chants and ugly fouls that emerged during the match.
