JD and The Rod

Quarantine Life continues, so this one is wild. We talk about which objects from American soccer's past deserve Hall of Fame enshrinement,  hear from Eddie from Brooklyn on his beef over SnoClasico, debate whether Pitbull is stealing from soccer culture and much more. J...Commando...ding.

This week's bonus show is definitely worth the extra day wait. We've got Luis Bueno as our guest. Luis is a patron of the show, but more importantly an old school American soccer writer who started covering the game in the late 90s and was a major part of by Jason and Jared's soccer experience with his work at the Riverside Press-Enterprise and on his blog (with Andrea Canales) "Sideline Views".

We talk a lot about Luis's memories of covering soccer in SoCal and at the 2002 World Cup and even get in a view soccer-themed games. Old heads will love this one.

We're back to the normal show this week—or, as normal as we can get with this whole Coronavirus/COVID-19 who-needs-to-shower-anyway thing. 

We get into that #quarantinelife, hit on the chances MLS might flip the calendar in light of the suspension, and ponder the impact of the delayed Olympics.

These strange times call for a unique approach to getting our soccer fix. In that spirit, Jason and Jared bring to you a watch-along episode focused on the 2002 World Cup Round of 16 match between the United States and Mexico. 

Reyna. Donovan. McBride. Marquez. Hernandez. Blanco. 

CONCACAF's biggest match takes center stage at the World Cup. We're joined for our commentary by one half of the Total Soccer Show, Taylor Rockwell. Make sure you check out TSS's Soccer 101 episode on this very game. 

If you want to watch-along with use, click this YouTube link or search "Matchday Live 2002 Mexico v. USA" at YouTube. Listen for the prompts to sync you video with us.

Just after washing their hands while humming the new MLS anthem, Jason and Jared dive into the impact of the Coronavirus on sports and how it might affect Major League Soccer. From there, the boys cover the USWNT's SheBelives run and the crazy legal approach of US Soccer. And there's MLS Week 2 talk!

MLS is really really back, so we've got a lot of soccer to talk about. There's a full breakdown of the Week 1 results. Jason and Jason hit the striker problem for Atlanta hard (RIP Josef's ACL), take some calls on DC United's problems, and discuss the debuts from the new talent across the league.

#MLSISBACK or whatever the hashtag is, so this week the boys get a little messy covering all the buildup. Jason and Jared talk about the new weird MLS anthem, the media event in New York that Jason covered, England trying to snake Giovanni Reyna (who now has his own drop!), Chicharito's choice of wardrobe and more. Oh and MLS predictions!

The Rodius is back from his birthday celebrations to get deep into the soccer from the last week. We start with the CONCACAF Champions League, then move into the injuries with the USMNT (yoooo Gio Reyna), unpack the wild situation with FC Cincinnati, give Jurgen Klinsmann props for still getting paid, and wonder if Lionel Messi might one day join the Galaxy.

The Rodius is off celebrating his birthday this week, so Jason and Nicky Soup & Sausage spend some time celebrating Jared before getting into the new MLS CBA, Bruce Arena's comments on the failure to qualify, Walker Zimmerman's trade to Nashville, Jurgen Klinsmann's ghost job in Germany and much more.

The normal show returns with a bunch of talk about Giovanni Reyna's "OH BABY" moment, Christen Press doing him one better, the USWNT's embarrassment of riches, MLS's weird kit reveal party, the USMNT/USWNT kits that just dropped, and some news from around MLS.
