It's international break, but there's still plenty to talk about. We vent about the latest behind-the-scenes drama with the Chicago Fire as well as the nonsensical MLS playoff structure, and chat about the latest release from the studio of Obama portrait artist Kehinde Wiley. This week's design deep-dive gets into the very special summer of 1967 when the United Soccer Association imported teams from Europe and South America to play in its first and only season. Enter the LA Wolves (Wolverhampton Wanderers), Vancouver Royals (Sunderland), the Cleveland Stokers (Stoke City), and a whole host of others. What were the designs like? Why do some say it was the best soccer final ever played on US soil? Justin and Maria get into it on this week's episode.
