MLS Panic Rankings! Atlanta United fire Gonzalo Pineda, Inter Miami’s defensive woes & so much more
We’re back with another episode filled with MLS Rankings! This time, we’re looking at the league through a panicked lens. Which teams should be most concerned? Taylor picks the clubs and Joe blind ranks them from 1 to 10. With Atlanta’s huge summer, the Crew’s Concacaf flop, SKC’s general meh-ness, and so much more, there’s plenty of panic to go around.

Listener Questions! How elite managers made their mark, a potential apertura/clausura schedule in MLS & so much more
The whole TSS gang is here to answer your questions!
1) What are the chances we see Mauricio Pochettino or Erik Ten Hag in MLS as their next job?
2) Would MLS work as a split apertura/clausura season?
3) How did managers of the best teams in history get the best out of their players?
4) How far down the Premier League table do you have to go to stop seeing players that would be impactful for MLS teams?

Customer Reviews
DC United Review
Any chance you could do a similar review for DC United that you just did for the Chicago Fire? I feel like DC's ownership needs to be called out as well.
Great opening!
Awesome opening rhyme sequence Taylor!!!
Defending Bullies is not Becoming of TSS
I was disappointed in the response to the question about Emma Hayes on the 10 April 2024 episode. You defended the actions of a bully through your prevarication in your responses. Emma Hayes not only pushed/shoved Eidevall, she also attempted to impugn his character with the label of “male agression”. She also refused to apologize. If Eidevall had done the same to Hayes he would rightly be fired for such a reprehensible act. As to whether this would affect the USWNT, maybe not. But what it will affect is the fans. I do not want to cheer on bullies - wherever they may be. You can cheer her on with the USWNT, but I should expect you to condemn future behaviour when it inevitably happens in the future. You should be better and much less equivocal in your responses. I am disappointed.
