American soccer gets a bad rap. Very undeservedly so. American soccer does not have the 100 year foundation of passionate soccer fandom, so we have to work with what we have. The American game has to be built from within so we have anointed ourselves the disciples of American soccer. We will force in conversation about MLS and American soccer in our daily lives and we don't care how many friends we lose! We're on Patreon!

The MLS is over and we are admittedly a bit sad. We reminisce about the season for a bit and then talk Premier League. Everton loses to Liverpool in a stoppage time heartbreaker deliver by Sadio Mané. Arsenal loses to Manchester City, but not before having a candle light vigil for Ilkay Gündoğan's knee.
