Plus, the role the games have played in developing the game here in the US, and the future of the series with FIFA (the governing body) going their own way.

2) When were the peak years for hooliganism in football?
3) What are the most famous examples of hooligan activity in history?
4) How are hooligans and hooligan groups portrayed in media?

February 23, 2024 Bonus episode! The Can I Kick It podcast discusses the new joint Anti-Discrimination Policy by MLS, MLSPA, and Black Players for Change
A bonus episode this week! We're cross-posting an episode from our friends over at the Can I Kick It podcast. Host Elliot Bar sits down with Greggo from For the Culture to discuss the new joint Anti-Discrimination Policy by MLS, MLSPA, and Black Players for Change. They get into how the policy came to be, why it was necessary in the first place, how other leagues should take note, and much more!
---
Can I Kick it is a podcast built on telling the stories of Black athletes, coaches, and owners that have impacted the game of soccer on and off the pitch. With all the wonderful footballers from Africa, Europe, The Caribbeans, and The Americas, it is shocking to see that no one has made a podcast dedicated to them. Each episode breaks down the career path of an individual person and focuses on their legacy and lasting impact on the beautiful game. Follow the show on Twitter at @CIKIFC or on Instagram @Canikickitfc.

February 22, 2024 #160 Everything you need to know about The Designated Player Rule in Major League Soccer

What is a DP? Why does the concept exist in the first place? How has the reliance on DPs evolved over time? Who are the most notable Designated Players in MLS history? What does the future hold for the DP rule? Plus, Graham helpfully runs through the list of DC United's all-time DPs while Taylor silently weeps. Enjoy!

February 15, 2024 #159 What is an interim manager, and who are the most successful examples in soccer history?
On this week's episode, Taylor (who could be sacked at any moment) and Graham (waiting to take over as Interim Podcast Host) discuss Interim Managers. When should a club appoint one? Are there different types? Is it always a bad sign when one comes in? And who are the most successful examples in soccer history? Graham also manages to get in multiple shots at Manchester United, much to Taylor's chagrin. Enjoy!
