[two_third_last]The gang is all here to discuss some CanCon news, including the #CanPL USports draft, MLS lockout stuff and US Soccer Hall of Fame news, Jozy drama, and the usual insanity. In this episode, Tony has a winning chant for FC Edmonton (whether they use it or not), Mark wants to bring back Summer (it makes sense, promise), Duncan reminds us of a coupon code (which you want to use), and Kristin threatens to rat us out to our significant others (and does).

[two_third_last]Ho-ho-holy crap, it's our holiday special. No, it's not a clip show (who's got the time for this?!) but we do cover some CONCACAF Champions League, some awards, some Vanney heading west, other MLS news and then we do an end of year recap type thing which we were totally amusing ourselves with and we hope you enjoy as well. In this episode, Duncan really goes after the offside flag, Mark has some words for Isloch of the Belarusian Premier League, Tony has a great French club name to steal for a rebrand and Kristin offers some evenhanded, if not dull, advice when choosing a coach.
