We discuss the awful states of big clubs from MLS, Liga MX, and Brazil plus I announce my personal comeback to football.

We interview lead American soccer writer for Goal and Editor-in-Chief at SBIsoccer: Ives Galarcep.

We discuss:

- USMNT against Ecuador and Chile
- Way too early predictions for Gold Cup, MLS Cup, and more
- Which player is 'something special' that could be on the 2022 World Cup squad that hasn't earned a cap yet

We discuss the upcoming United States Men's National Team friendlies against Ecuador and Chile with Houston Dynamo legend and 45-time USMNT forward Brian Ching.

We also analyze the simple reason why Liga MX sides keep beating MLS opposition and where Alexandre Pato may go now that he’s terminated his deal in China, but first, we speak about something that’s very close to my heart: Concussions.

Today we’ll be discussing Liga MX and El Tri with our good friend Cesar Hernandez, a freelance writer who covers Mexican soccer for ESPN FC and The Athletic.

We’ll also discuss some of the biggest headlines from the weekend, including:

• MLS commissioner Don Garber’s latest comments over hate groups which appears to include some glaring falsehoods
• Raul Jimenez breaking a Benfica record
• Adidas coming out with a historic announcement regarding the Women’s World Cup
• A USMNT star joining the Major Arena Soccer League

Today is InternationalWomensDay!

In today's episode, we'll be talking about the USWNT's gender discrimination lawsuit and we'll talk to Kimberly McCauley (@lgbtqfc) of @SBnation about the SheBelievesCup, NWSL, and the USWNT's chances in the Women's World Cup!

In episode 5 of The NASA Football Podcast, we preview the Copa Libertadores group-by-group with Simon Edwards of the World Football Index.

We also call out MLS Commissioner Don Garber on his latest suspect remarks, this time surrounding white supremacists at MLS matches.
