This week's show welcomes John Morrissey from Backheeled.com, The USL Show and USL Tactics for a preview of the USL Championship and League One. We'll also take a close look at what to expect from Rhode Island FC, Hartford Athletic and the Portland Hearts of Pine in 2025.

John also touched on how the USL Super League is doing, potential expansion across the USL's many leagues, division one sanctioning and offered some thoughts on USL's stated goal of bringing promotion and relegation to the US.

Thomas tries to work in as many references as possible to Vermont Green but we'll get a preview of their season later in the spring.

You can find John's extensive, insightful and excellent coverage of the USL at Backheeled.com, The USL Show on YouTube and USL Tactics on BlueSky and Substack
