1 hr 14 min - Vancouver's stadium situation, Concacaf Champions Cup, Americans on the move
Morning Kickaround is back for the return of top-level men's soccer in the USA!
San Diego FC's season begins tomorrow when they host Pumas UNAM in the Concacaf Champions Cup. Is anyone excited for this tournament and how will it evolve when MLS changes their calendar?
Also, the Ricardo Pepi move to Fulham appears dead in the water, Josh Sargent could still move, and several Americans are playing well for their European clubs, notably Weston McKennie. The USL may have announced their Premier division and promotion/relegation plans, but their players are still upset at the lack of healthcare and a new CBA.
Finally, the Vancouver Whitecaps are struggling with their stadium situation on the Pacific coast of Canada. What is next for the defending Westetn Conference champions?

Welcome to a Morning Kickaround Friday with Robert Kerr and Jason Davis!
John Morrissey joins the show to get his views on the USL Premier announcement, the timeline for promotion/relegation, which clubs will go to the top tier, and so much more.
Before John joins us, the gang examines Mauricio Pochettino's decree that his players should stick to soccer and not comment on "political" issues like the price of World Cup tickets. Also, Crystal Dunn announced her retirement from soccer after a short, but very successful career in the NWSL, France, and for the U.S. Women's National Team. MLS is altering its proiduction for MLS Season Pass as it moves onto the main AppleTV platform.
