This is the 80th episode.  Holy crap.  We should have said something about that.  BUT WE DIDN'T.  Instead, we go on about the MLS playoff picture, Minnesota United keeping it's name, and the entire concept of participation trophies.  All that and more in the latest Straight Red

It's the Olympics!  And America did terrible.  Well, at soccer.  We did well at pretty much everything else, but this is a soccer podcast.  Hope Solo said some mean stuff so we talk about it.  Plus more mumblings about Alejandro Bedoya, the MLS playoff picture, and what Alex's Olympic sport would be if he dedicated his life to it.  You'll never guess what it is!

Farewell Sigi!  But who does Seattle get next?  For that matter, where does Sigi go next?  And how did NYCFC score 5 goals in the same match?  What's the deal with Fabian Castillo?  Why is olympic soccer starting tomorrow?  Has the expansion fee really increased to $200 million?   We ponder all of those mysteries and what exactly is the deal with Dippin' Dots in the latest Straight Red.

Seattle is done.  Well, spiritually at least.  And probably soccer-ly.  Is soccerly a word?  Anyway, we also talk about how well Canadian teams did (other than Vancouver), the Hudson River Derby, Jason Kreis being confirmed for Orlando, and what's the deal with all-star game.  Also, you'll want to keep an ear out for Alex's controversial take on Bagel Bites.  All that and more in the latest Straight Red.

Is Jason Kreis the new Orlando City manager?  You may know better than us, but we talk about it anyway.  Plus, more on NYCFC inexplicably being top of the west, Adam Kwarsey leaving the league, and how Alex REALLY feels about ginger ale.  All that and more in the latest Straight Red.

It finally happened: someone has a narrower field than NYCFC.  It was the Western New York flash of NWSL and it was atrocious.  We were shocked.  Meanwhile the Klinsmann to England rumors won't die, Adrian Heath has been fired, and Alex believes every printed word he reads.  Virtually.  All that and more in the latest Straight Red.

Holy crap, Gingers. Can we actually do this? The USMNT has a date with destiny, and some short Argentinian guy who is pretty good at soccer. Jason and Alex talk about Copa, domestic competitions, and how Jason will be single imminently. All this and more on this week's Straight Red!
