Mike almost misses the pod because he's too busy watching competitive tramming. We discuss the pinnacle of the USMNT: the run to the QF of the 2002 WC, and outplaying Germany there.

Here's your link for next week's re-watch: https://www.fcbarcelona.com/en/videos/817749/real-madrid-0-fc-barcelona-3-liga-2005-06#

Don't watch that other game we said to watch. Watch USA vs Germany, 2002 WC QF.

We welcome you all to the social-distancing era having practiced our distancing for 179 episodes. In dark times, we try to keep it light, even as US Soccer tries to bring our spirits down at every turn. Send us your dreams - [email protected]

All four podders back on an ep for the first time in a long time. We talk MLS, Prem, UCL, and a bit of COVID.

Dan and Mike have better things to do with their lives than sit in bed or a shed and talk about the nascent MLS season. No matter, we paged the MLS doctor himself, Kieven Sperry to chat about the coming top level domestic season.

We mostly talk about monster trucks and potty training, but leave just enough time to touch on how to define an American, Manchester City's European ban, and the upcoming Chaaaaampioooons League draws.

Two emails is all we need this week. Liverpool, Barca, MLS, Collective Bargaining, and more.

I mean really. Who cares anymore? Am I right George? #BucksIn6

Some great content this week that is mostly unrelated to actual soccer on the pitch, which is really the best content. Conspiracy theories, Lalas hating, Klopp hugs, and cow pastures.

The January window is open, the title race does not exist, so we let Mike take this one wherever he wants.
