Everything MLS!

DEFENSE DEFENSE DEFENSE!! WHERE . IS . THE . DEFENSE?!? The defense has been lacking in the MLS. The teams that win are making the least amount of mistakes in the back, hands down. 3, YES 3! of these games had attackers unmarked, 1 game was all about fouls in the box. 1 game had defensive miscommunication. If you can't tell this episode will be talking a lot about defense. 

The 4 games covered are : Sporting KC and Orlando, SJ Earthquakes and FC Dallas, more LAFC and Seattle Sounders . . . and more LA Galaxy and NYRB. I just want a little variety from my provider, *sigh* , maybe someday.

The games coming up I get to cover : Houston Dynamo *YAY VARIETY!* vs LAFC, Nashville SC *LITTLE MORE VARIETY!* vs Inter Miami CF and Seattle Sounders vs LA Galaxy. 

Hoping to put out a CCL episode soon to cover Leg 1 and another episode for Leg 2 but I want to start separating MLS from CCL.

Hey everyone! Welcome back for another episode of Everything MLS! The agenda and podcast kinda goes a little something like this :

CCL Round of 16 : 2nd Leg

CCL Quarter Finals Match ups

Games Watched for Week 1 of the MLS season (5) / Then games I wasn't able to watch but saw highlights (2)

Did the MLS change the transfer window or the Goal Kick rule and I was just not informed? Don Garber why you no call me?

Games I will be able to watch and talk about next episode, week 2 of the MLS season (5 games)

Remember [email protected]! Hit me up and lets talk MLS soccer!

This is part B of the CCL tournament! There will probably be a part C coming up this weekend (Sunday or Monday night, as I work nights and those are two of my nights off) to finish out all the round of 16 games this week. I will then be moving onto the MLS regular season openers and games between the CCL matches in late April and early May.

Game 1 - Atlanta United vs L.D. Alajuelense

Game 2 - Portland Timbers vs Marathon

Game 3 - Cruz Azul vs Arcahaie - I know that this does not have an MLS team in it, but hopefully there is something in there to listen to for if Toronto moves on to the next round. Maybe a tactic or two and how they exploited the defense of Arcahaie that Toronto or Leon will need to do better than Arcahaie did. 

Then I spoke about how I did with my predictions and the upcoming matches today (April 14th and 15th) in the CCL and this weekend in the MLS. Hope you all enjoy this episode and don't forget about my email if you want to chat, talk about your team or upcoming matches and just anything soccer related in general! [email protected]!

Hey all!

I was going to post this up before the 2nd leg of all the CCL games and forgot to finalize it before sitting down and watching the first game! (aka the Atlanta United match) Its kind of short and sweet but will be doing more this weekend when all the matches are over for the second leg of the CCL so stay tuned and look out for that next episode to come out. I have my email set up now, [email protected] ! I plan on doing some fun stuff in the future, talking to fans about their teams and what makes their supporter groups unique to everyone else! Example : Columbus Crew SC play Africa by Toto after every win, and Gumby and some skunks ha ha ha. Enjoy the matches this week and listen in or hit me up on the email!

Went to go dive in the MLS CBA and got lost along the way ha ha. I then went into a small amount of the Western Conference, but a lot of the episode covered the Eastern Conference. Wrapped up the episode with some changes to the Concacaf Champions League for 2021 and some format changes for the tournament coming up in the next few years. Small amounts of ranting may have occurred ha ha. Thanks for listening and hope to talk to everyone soon! 

Hello and welcome back to Everything MLS Podcast!

This episode I cover the Concacaf Champions League to the best of my ability, being that I missed the first 30 min of the Semi final, the final I had to listen to on the radio on my phone, and I wasn't able to do the research and analyzing that I wanted to for these two games. I talked about what I could and put my 2 cents in on the match and the MLS as a league in those competitions, but it's not nearly what I wanted to do for those competitions.

I then moved on to the transfer market and covered: FC Cincinnati's choices, as they are not confirmed to have been picked up by the club yet, some of the New England Revolution's transfers in and out, and Austin FC's building roster. Players you may or may not have heard before but will be exciting to watch play either way. 

This episode has : My first introduction! How I see the episodes going. What I think the listeners will get out of future episodes. Some goals for myself. Some Cheers and Congratulations to players and teams winning awards. Last but not least, some teasers on the transfer market that I hope to talk about in the near future, with the CONCACAF Champions League match ups that happened recently. 

Going to be completely honest, I was super nervous and there are a lot of "ums" that would take me forever to edit out. This area is new waters for me but I am excited to learn and get better at "public speaking" and audio editing. Hoping to add some tunes here and there, very soon, as well.

Thanks for listening and hope you'll tune in to future episodes!
