We say goodbye to Euro 2020, sing Italy's praises (or at least Bonucci/Chiellini), discuss Southgate's biggest blunder, call BS on 'player of the tournament' and debate the Best XI. Is Italy now the favorite for WC22? Copa chatter featuring whether Messi just won the Ballon d'Or -- Sam's answer may surprise you! USMNT's performance against Haiti, f/t whose stock rose and fell, and what (and who) to watch for vs Martinique and Canada. Praise for MLS's "Hell is Real" rivalry and update on NWSL's logjam at the top of the table, plus Best Bets and of course GOAWs. Next, recurring guest Kelyn Rowe [[53:00]] stops by to discuss his move from the Revs to Sounders, and compares living, dining and dating in Boston vs Seattle. He opens up on the journey of self-awareness he has been on thanks to Covid, spills the beans on the practical joke he plans to pull on Brian Schmetzer this offseason (none y'all better ruin it) and identifies the MVP for the Sounders' record-setting 13-game unbeaten streak to start the season. We avoid talking about the time Tim Parker allegedly bullied him last week and focus on the goal he scored, and finally we get an answer to the age-old question of how much of an advantage a blue checkmark is when it comes to DM slides.
