In this episode of the Designated Players Podcast, the guys are back and this week we're talking about more MLS news! We're talking about the latest round of the US Open Cup which saw just 1 USL side win out of 16 matchups against MLS, does this indicate that the gap between MLS and USL is massive? Next we talk about Sportico's recent club valuations which saw a significant number of MLS sides rank very highly. Lastly we talk about the one off playoff between LAFC and Club America to make it to the Club World Cup. Let us know your thoughts!
