    Your favorite foursome is answering your listener questions, including: 1) Has MLS become too good to play games during international windows? 2) What do clubs, managers and players do during international breaks? 3) Why do Brazilian soccer players go by one name often a nickname? 4) How does one stop following clubs, and who are some less-heralded Premier Clubs worth keeping an eye on? 5) How do basketball and other US team sports succeed in developing players from underprivileged backgrounds when US soccer fails? 6) Which of the following Red Bull scenarios is most likely in the next 5 years: 1) New York Red Bulls win MLS Cup, 2) RB Leipzig wins the Bundesliga, or 3) Leeds becomes Leeds Red Bulls (or similar) with a new RB-branded logo?

    USMNT v Canada review and player analysis and some anger too

    Graham and Taylor are together on a pleasant Sunday afternoon to discuss a very unpleasant performance from the USMNT against Canada. What did Canada have that the US didn't? Which US players improved their stock and which ones did the opposite of that? How quickly could a Poch appointment turn around the creeping (or already prevalent?) negativity?

    We're trying out a new concept! The group reaches some "way too early" conclusions about the season, based on the first few games so far. Everton? A lot worse than one co-host thought. Liverpool? A lot better than that same co-host thought. There's also discussion of Brighton, Man United, Barcelona, Real Madrid and many more! JOIN THE TSS+ PATREON!
