The MLS season kicks off on February 21 when Inter Miami takes on Real Salt Lake. Today, we’re going to do an MLS season preview of sorts but we’re specifically going to focus on MLS-based players in the USMNT player pool.

To help me do that, I’ve invited Favian Renkel to join the show. Favian is a freelance soccer writer and reporter based out of San Francisco. He currently writes for 90min Football, SBI Soccer, and Forbes. You can follow Favian on X at: @FavianRenkel
