In this episode of the Designated Players Podcast, the guys are back to just chat, see what's going on in the world of US Soccer. We start off the conversation discussing Chris Mueller's move to Scotland, and also relationship with Scotland and MLS players. Next we bring back the always popular conversation on this podcast, pro/rel, but this time it's about USL and not MLS. To wrap it up, the guys give their choice for who has been the most positively and negatively impacted by the Gold Cup thus far. Lots of fun topics and good discussion so be sure to tune in!

Orlando City have yet again flubbed another transfer. This time it isn't Cyle Larin, it's Chris Mueller, who is going to Hibernian at the end of his contract for *checks notes* FREE. How do you let one of the most promising wingers in the league walk for free?!? We talk about the move and why Orlando is so bad at getting deals done to sell players. Our conversation also goes into Scotland as a landing place for MLS players in Europe. Do we like it? Do we dislike it? You'll just have to listen to find out!

Next we get deep into the conversation surrounding the new USL pro/rel proposal. We've talked many a times about how we feel about pro/rel in the US, but this time it's different because it's about USL instead of MLS. We talk about how it will impact USL and if it can be enough to get them more on par with MLS. If this is successful, can pro/rel spill into MLS?

Finally, we wrap up with some talk about the Gold Cup. This time we give our takes on who are the biggest risers and fallers for the USMNT thus far in the tournament. We talked about some of these guys in our live stream of the Canada vs US game, but we touch upon it here again, talking about a few other players as well. Let us know if you agree or disagree with our takes!
