Today we are joined by Kevin Payne who is a U.S. Soccer Executive and has been involved in American soccer for a long time. We spoke to him while at the United Soccer Coaches Convention in Chicago. He was instrumental in the creation and continued existence of Major League Soccer. You may not agree with a lot Kevin has to say, but it is a perspective that should be heard.

183 - Don't Fight Your Coach w/ Kevin Payne

Soccer is exciting, but soccer talk is so boring...UNTIL NOW.

Alexis Guerreros and Christian Polanco want to bring laughter to the beautiful game. Soccer is a growing sport in America and our goal (pun intended) is to show that American footy fans are unlike any other in the world. Through the lens of stand-up comedy, The Cooligans deliver hilarious takes on American soccer that are refreshing and fun and make fans of MLS and US Soccer enjoy the league much more than they ever thought they could.

England ladies aka Lionesses have won the Euros Is Englands big international win finally enough to turn the tide with respect to Europe's respect for the womens game. It might be a good thing that the England ladies won it before the men, because it allows the fans to focus on the womens game and possibly start supporting it more. Do think this is enough? Also the premier league season is about to start and that means FPL IS ALSO ABOUT TO START! We pick the best American to start in your FPL team.

"They Gotta Have D*cks Before I Can Cheer For Them"

Luis Suarez needs a new club to prepare for the World Cup, is LAFC the right move? Christian doesn't think so! Luis Suarez has left Ateltico Madrid and is rumored to be going back to Nacional in Uruguay, his boyhood club. Rumor is he'd be willing to join LAFC but not until after the World Cup. Remember, thats next season for MLS and LAFC. If he joins LAFC, that makes LAFC the favorites to win the league this year, no? Would Gareth Bale stay to play with Luis Suarez? How would he fit in with Gareth Bale, Carlos Vela, and Chiellini who are already there? This could be one memorable LAFC season.
