Total Soccer Show: USMNT, Champions League, EPL, and more ...

Taylor talks to Matt Hermann of the Talking Fussball podcast. They discuss the Bundesliga's surprise team Borussia Monchengladbach, as well as the respective seasons of perennial title contenders Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund. They also get into which Americans have done well this season, which teams might continue to over-perform, and why the Dusseldorf v Koln game this weekend is more interesting than it might seem on paper.

3) When will MLS teams spend big on center backs?
