MLS playoffs are heating up! On Unfiltered Soccer with Landon Donovan and Tim Howard, our hosts dive into the MLS playoff match-ups from this weekend. Messi ran through Cincinnati, Vancouver took LAFC to penalties, and Matt Freese and NYCFC stayed ice cold in Philly.  

Tim and Landon are also talking U.S. Men’s National Team, from Mauricio Pochettino’s battles with the press to Christian Pulisic becoming the top player in Serie A.  

In the AT&T Mailbag, Tim and Landon answer your questions about DPs and salary caps in MLS, ticket prices for the World Cup, and who might end up in the dreaded Group of Death.
