Three Footed Tackle Podcast

What if you could only listen to one album from now until the time it's safe to stop social distancing? Yes, this used to be an American Soccer Podcast and now it's a Music Podcast. DealWithIt.gif.

The biggest story in MLS, and maybe the only story in MLS, is Zlatan. Enrique joins me for some quick takes on how the Lion of Sweden is taking over the league and letting everyone know about it. We'll also discuss whether a home match with ATL Utd is a "must win" for LAFC, then branch out into the fantasy world with some DFS thoughts for Friday's Liga MX slate.

Enrique returns to the pod to join in the USWNT World Cup Victory Tour and wrap up both summer competitions for the American women & men. We also get into the ever more blended worlds of MLS & Liga MX where back and forth transfers are increasing and a new minicup competition adds some fresh intrigue.

It wasn't pretty but the USMNT moved on vs Curacao and into the Gold Cup Semis, meanwhile the Women have a World Cup showdown on tap with the nation that claims to have "invented the game" or some such rubbish. We'll also check in on the wild Western Conference in Major League Soccer, where even the currently-last-place Colorado Rapids might still have a shot at the playoffs

My guy M-Slip returns to talk Rapinoe's magical World Cup Quarterfinal, The US Men's B-Side getting it done in their Gold Cup group stage finale, and this week's anonymous flame job of the working culture inside US Soccer.

It won't heal the wounds of missing the World Cup at the hands of Trinidad & Tobago but the revenge served up beatdown style in the Gold Cup sure did feel nice. What does it mean for the USMNT going forward? We break it down with a brand new voice on 3FT. Also: MLS is Back!!

Possibly the most optimistic episode about the USMNT in the short history of this podcast, Tyler Boyd's big game vs Guyana has American fans in high spirits, especially when paired with a group winning 2-0 win over Sweden at the Women's World Cup. Plus: Mexico vs Canada Takes!

We welcome a new voice to 3FT as one of my oldest friends joins to talk Carli Lloyd at the Women's World Cup and make the case for the USMNT to hire Jurgen Klopp away from Liverpool.

We've always been an American soccer podcast....but for now we're expanding beyond borders to become a *North* American soccer podcast, with focus on Canada & Mexico as they prepare to kick off the Gold Cup. We'll spotlight a few MLS players making impact in the competition for their nations, and question what the US Women will do if their matchup with Chile turns into a laugher like the World Cup opener vs Thailand.

Who knew that scoring a record-shattering number of goals could be a bad thing? We examine the backlash to the USWNT dropping 13 goals all over Thailand in their World Cup opening match, then crunch a few ideas together on Tyler Adams' Gold Cup injury news and Round 4 of the US Open Cup.

After a long hiatus we're back in business. A first-timer joins the pod as we hit up ATL resident Enrique Palacios for thoughts on a resurgent Atlanta United in the East, then we wrap the U20 World Cup and preview the Gold Cup, neither of which feels particularly encouraging after a lifeless friendly vs. Venezuela.

We celebrate our iTunes debut by...completely changing the format! That's not totally true but we are giving most of the focus this week to talking young USMNT stars and debating the best path for prospects like Tim Weah & Josh Sargent. It's all viewed thru the MLS lens and we'll talk (and pick!) some huge matchups in the league this weekend as well. And we'll round off the changes with one more big one- music beds to keep your head bobbing during the discussion. Enjoy!

We're talking young players on the rise and managers on the hotseat, and of course marveling at the latest display from Carlos Vela. The battle for King of LA may continue raging but in Big D, it's all about Paxton Pomykal.

It's all about SoCal in this first DGW of the season as we look ahead to a pair of big matches in LA for Week 7 of the MLS Season. Who ya got for "King of LA," Zlatan or Vela?

We're back after a one-week hiatus and sadly, Disappointment is the theme of the day as we ponder which one of last year's powerhouse teams has fallen from grace the most in 2019, what's next for the USMNT after a so-so round of Int'l Friendlies, and what the hell was Leo Bonucci thinking when he failed to support his teammate in the face of racist chants. One thing we can promise tho: you won't be Disappointed if you listen!

Big things happening this week with a few big upsets in the league, and a change at the top of the 3FT picks leaderboard! We shout out FC Cincinnati along with the continued early dominance of LAFC, DCU, and Seattle, plus take some time to talk the recent USMNT call-ups and a renewed push for Pro/Rel. It's our most packed episode yet...enjoy!

Chad, Julian, & Daniel review Week 2 of the 2019 MLS season with a USMNT digression or two mixed in. Also: The debut of our Power Rankings!

After a wild Week 1, the guys take the opportunity to apologize (or not) to Michael Bradley, salute a stellar performance from DC United's most important player (Not that one...or that one), and pick some winners for Week 2.

Three buddies who love watching and talking soccer, each with their own different angle. Smashing ideas together to inform and entertain fans of Major League Soccer.
