Six matches in the USL Super League means we're doing plenty of recapping on this show, but that doesn't stop us from discussing USL's move towards pro/rel on the men's side and why we think women's soccer deserves the same treatment.

Dan Vaughn and Joshua Duder discuss the topics dominating the soccer news cycle: USL add pro/rel, USOC Round One, and USMNT falls to Panama in Nations League. Plus more soccer content from your favorite lower league soccer nerds.

Danielle is ready to gloat after nailing her picks! We break down all the action from the USL Super League, debate who will win Golden Boot, and if Brooklyn can shake off their slump. All that and more!

The Opening Weekend of The USL Championship has come and gone - Chris and Josh are joined on the show this week by Ray Samora of the Orange & Black SoccerCast to whip through the league results, take a peek at the table, and guess at what who will do what this coming weekend. Along the way we ask Ray to get stuck into some OCSC; explain how they play, and why they're going to be challenging for the top spots in the Western Conference.

A full weekend of matches means plenty of soccer to talk about, but no match was bigger than Dallas' beatdown of Brooklyn. Plus listener questions, baking ideas, and a host of other topics. Get stuck in!

Eboni Christmas joins the show on this week's bonus episode of The C - we take our last pre-season look at the league and detail into the upcoming season of North Carolina FC. We're grateful for Eboni's insight into how NCFC play, who they brought in to compliment their top players, and who they had to bid farewell to. Lastly, we talk Blood and Goals... Eboni's philosophy on soccer and how to get that Jager Cup.

This week Josh Duder connects with Rob Chappell of Talkin Flock to go #FullMingo and discuss the long offseason, new faces in the squad, and how Forward Madison looks going into the new season. We also chat about starting hot, with the first salvo of The Henny and a US Open Cup Round One Proper game within the first two weeks of the season. 

With only two matches to review, the cast discusses the table, the player most likely to land the league's first red card, and what should or shouldn't be in banana bread. It's everything you love about the USL Super League and more!

Chris and Josh get Jonathan Comeaux of the Oakland Roots Blog on the pod to run the rule over Oakland's offseason. We discuss their move to the famous Oakland Coliseum, Roots' participation in the local Fan Fest, and their homage kit to the Oakland A's. Honestly, a great primer for a huge season for Oakland Roots SC.
