Messi and Miami Win MLS Opener, Open Cup In Trouble, MLS Predictions

Jason and Jared are back to take stock of Inter Miami's season-opening win over RSL and the two most important Lionel Messi highlights: Dapping up Will Smith at halftime on the way to the locker room and chipping/hurdling an injured RSL player to get off a shot.  Then there's a passionate discussion about Major League Soccer's treatment of the US Open Cup and how money is driving every decision made in the world of soccer in 2024. If you want to play soccer business bingo, get out your cards! Then the boys do something very stupid and try to predict the MLS season. Jared goes a little homer, Jason bets on a perennial contender. Thanks to everyone who watches the show live and contributes.
