Take It or Leave it: MLS on Apple has been a bad thing, European women’s super league, plus the U.S. men lose to France at the Olympics
The whole crew is back together -- and we've brought Take It or Leave It back, too! After discussing the U.S. men's loss to France in their Olympic opener, our foursome dive into your hot takes. Is the group stage really the best part of a tournament? Is a European women's super league a good idea? Has the Apple TV deal been a net-negative for MLS? And should there be a yearly minutes cap on players? All that -- and more -- on the show.

Customer Reviews
Excellent content
I really appreciate the breadth of perspectives given by TSS along with their much more thorough tactical analysis than is given in the typical American soccer shows that go exclusively for personalities and soccer bros rather giving any sort of intelligent commentary.
Last couple episodes have included repeats
And now today it seems like the entire episode is a repeat…
First part of the show is current and on topic then after about 20-30 minutes and a break it switches to a replay / repeat of previous episode
Ads<
Just wondering if you think you have enough ads? The first 5 minutes is ads you literally don’t start speaking until 5 minutes in.. imagine sitting watching a show and having 5 straight minutes of commercials but then not even that bc they have visuals.. literally tuned out and done before it starts and you have more throughout the show wow.
British people feeling the need to rhyme every single intro is absolutely insane… you all sound like children coming up with an intro.. low iq move instead of actually coming up with a introduction.. good for you have fun in elementary school this week child
