The newest episode of The Best Soccer Show is here and it's fire.  The boys talk about Jesse Marsch going north to coach Canada as the "MLS Canadian Men's National Team Head Coach" or whatever and what that means for US Soccer's backup options if Gregg poops the bed at Copa America. Then there's Gio talk. The Forest experience was bad, so what's next for one of the most important players for the USMNT? Then Jason and Jared get into the Johnny Cardoso's options after his move to Real Betis turned him into a rising star. Should he go to Barca? Atleti? LIVERPOOL????

Marsch Goes Canuck, Gio Fails at Forest, Johnny Cardoso's Bright Future

  No Jared this week (like he has a life or something?) so Jason decided to do something a little different. Instead of breaking down the soccer news without the Rodius, Jason went through his deep-ish soccer jersey collection and shared stories about how he ended up with jersesys for "clubs" like Master Shake FC and the LA Riot.    This episode is obviously very visual, so if the podcast isn't cutting it for you, GO WATCH IT ON YOUTUBE!

COUNTDOWN TO COPA: 50 Days Til Copa America 2024, MLS Teams As Monopoly Spaces

After a short hiatus, the boys are back and better than ever to take on the big stories of the day in American soccer.  First, there's the news that Sergino Dest did a knee and will miss Copa America. Who will Gregg Berhalter turn to at right back for the big summer tournament? Then the boys get into Weston McKennie's contract impasse with Juventus and the other...business...that Weston seems to be up to in the north of Italy. Listener discretion advised because that spirals into a discussion about soccer terms as sex positions. Get stuck in, you know what I mean? Finally, some MLS news hits the show, namely that Don Garber and MLS seem to have blown up Indy Eleven's stadium play in Indianapolis by talk to Indy's mayor. Did MLS do some dirty shit? Or is everyone just doing what American soccer has always done?
