March 12, 2025 MLS Tanks CCC, USMNT Roster, MLS GM Survey, Weirdest Stadium Designs
The Athletic published both parts of thier annual MLS General Manager survey which means Robert Kerr and Jason Davis have a lot discuss about in terms of the state of the USA's top domestic league. The Apple TV deal, over saturation of Lionel Messi, the league calendar and much more come up in the dialogue.

Before that, though, the duo shoot the breeze about MLS clubs struggling in the Concacaf Champions Cup and the USMNT's roster for the upcoming Nations League semi-finals and, hopefully, final.

They close out with some of the stranger stadium designs in global soccer in honor of Manchester United's bew stadium announcement.

March 10, 2025 MLS Roundup, Americans Abroad, Which City Could Be America's Soccer London?
Jason Davis is flying solo today after a busy weekend of soccer. Over in MLS, the Sounders thump LAFC in Seattle, Inter Miami beat Charlotte despite no Messi and a goalkeeper red card, and LA Galaxy's championship hangover keeps getting worse.

On the other side of the ocean, Josh Sargent scored again for Norwich. Is he the top choice at striker for the USMNT? Christian Pulisic ended AC Milan's losing streak while Weston McKennie cost Juventus in their loss to Atalanta.

Finally, which American city could support dozens of clubs and why aren't there any cities like that?

March 07, 2025 64 Team World Cup, An American Chivas, Arman Kafai On MLS Spending Rules
Nothing is ever to crazy for FIFA as the idea of a 64 team World Cup is being floated around the FIFA Council. Robert Kerr and Jason Davis make sure to point out how silly the idea is. They also select their Fab Four of MLS games this weekend and break down Lionel Messi's load management.

Also, the guys discuss which region of the United States could put together an origin team a la Chivas de Guadalajara or Athletic Club Bilbao.

Finally, Arman Kafai joins the show to talk about how MLS has evolved its roster rules and how it has hurt/benefited the league over time.

March 03, 2025 MLS Review, Messi No Shows Houston, More MLS Expansion?
It was another unpredictable weekend in MLS, which gives Robert Kerr and Jason Davis plenty to talk about on the domestic front. The Philadelphia Union are off to a hot start, the San Diego FC home opener was a scoreless draw marred by homophobic chanting, and Lionel Messi was hed out of an away game against Houston due to "load management."

Also, Jason's Fulham are in the FA Cup Quarterfinals, AC Milan lost again, and Don Garber is leaving the door open to expanding beyond their current 30 teams.

February 28, 2025 USWNT Lose, Pulisic On The Outs, USL D1 Picks We Got Wrong
The U.S. Women's National Team lost for the first time since Emma Hayes took over, so Robert Kerr and Jason Davis assess whether or not it's time to panic and freak out. Also, Pulisic seems to be playing less for AC Milan. Should he panic and freak out about Joao Feliz stealing his spot?

The guys also take a trip down the memory hole of how American soccer has always been a capitalist endeavor and look at what they may have gotten wrong in their discussion earlier this week about the planned USL D1 league.

February 26, 2025 Messi Scores And Gets Fined, Salah's Handicap, Picking USL Teams For D1
Lionel Messi scored a brilliant goal for Miami as they easily advance in the Concacaf Champions Cup. He also got himself and Luis Suarez a little fine from MLS for laying hands on an NYCFC player on opening day. Robert Kerr and Jason Davis break it all down.

The USWNT also goes for some silverware this evening as they take on Japan in the final game of the SheBelieves Cup. Who do the hosts want to see in tonight's game?

Also! Can Mo Salah win the Balon d'Or? And, which teams should be in USL Premier when it aims to launch in 2028?

February 24, 2025 MLS Opening weekend takeaways, USWNT wins again, does the USL's plan go far enough?
MLS Opening Weekend has come and gone and Robert Kerr and Jason Davis offer up their takeaways from the busy weekend of exciting late goals and sloppy backline play.

Also! Is the EPL title race over after Liverpool's win and Arsenal's loss? The USWNT is one win away from winning the SheBelieves Cup again. Only Japan stands in the way of them winning their own tournament.

Finally! Does the USL's new plan and pro/rel talk go far enough? The guys react to Peter Wilt's criticism of the plan and how it does not address the issue of territorial rights.
