- Greg Lalas and the 1994 World Cup, USL Stadiums, MLS Calendar Switch
It's another Monday and Jason Davis is back with Robert Kerr to get you ready for the week in soccer. There were a couple exciting rivalry games in both MLS and the USL Championship. Both El Trafico and El Clamico ended in draws, but there was plenty of action on the field and in the stands. Also, the philadelphia Union are reportedly on board with MLS adopting the fall-spring calendar and with the USL League 2 Playoffs in full swing, Annapolis Blues are facing pressure to go pro after breaking attendance records all season long.
Greg Lalas of Short Corner Media then joins the show to discuss his project of collecting stories from the 1994 World Cup in the USA. He remembers this critical moment in the development of the American game and he want to highlight this as we approach the 2026 World Cup next summer.
Finally, What is the status of the USL's many soccer stadium projects?

1 hr 5 min - Silver linings for USMNT What's going on with Alexi Lalas? What is a handball anyway?
It was a busy weekend of soccer and Robert Kerr and Jason Davis have everything you need to feel caught up.
The U.S. Men's National Team lost the Concacaf Gold Cup Final, but were there any positive takaways from Sunday night's defeat to Mexico? Stefan Frei took a shot at the tail end of the Seattle Sounders' 1-1 draw with the Columbus Crew. He is alert and home from the hospital, thankfully. The Club World Cup has semifinal matchups set. Who is still watching with everything else going on?
Also, what is going on with Alexi Lalas and his increasingly wild antics? Does he actually help American soccer develop and how legitmate is his criticism?
Finally, should the USMNT have been awarded a penalty in the second half against Mexico? What is a handball anyway?
