1: Well, this is probably the best starting 11 (minus maybe Franco Escobar) that we are going to be able to field. We looked up for it. We had a good amount of possession and we’re creating the opportunities for opportunities but we still can’t get much in the way of SOG. It wasn’t until the 31st minute that we had a SOG and that came from a set piece. It was until about the 40th that we had something from the run of play. I can’t really explain why there’s such a lack of shots. We have ample talent on the field. It’s gotta be more productive. A handful of shots per game I don’t think is gonna be good enough to get us above the playoff line.  2: Damm had plenty of time and space to work with tonight.  It felt very similar to how DC played us last time. They gave the wing a wide berth and i think in the first half we did a decent job of exploiting that space. But still that final ball is missing.  3: Guzan has been up and down all season. I don’t have an issue with his shot stopping ability but he’s continuing to make very questionable decisions with his distribution. I’m not talking about miss hit balls, I’m talking conscious decisions he’s making where I find myself in front of my TV screaming “Why would you play it out there???” Also, I think he’s gotta save that first goal.  4: Well, what are we gonna do when Gresselmania goes running wild on us brother?  That’s a really soft goal to give away at the end of the match and sadly that probably does it for the season. We now basically need to win out and get some help. The second goal, is a little more expected because you’re in full on desperation mode and taking every risk you can.  5: I feel like a broken record here but it’s consistent with us. We look ok. Attack looks ok. The opportunities are there. We have no final product. If we only ask a small handful questions of a quality keeper like Bill Hamid, he’s gonna have answers. Yes our goal was beautiful but we can’t win enough games off rare moments of brilliance like that. Even if we had got the result today it’s still not good enough going forward.

COG MERCHANDISE (SCARVES, T-SHIRTS, BUTTONS, COASTERS): http://www.cornerofthegalaxy.com/SHOP COG STUDIOS, Calif. -- With the LA Galaxy back at full training and the tournament in Orlando ready for its debut in July, things almost feel normal. But in a world filled with uncertainty, how the teams in MLS weather a global pandemic is anyone's guess. On today's show, your hosts Josh Guesman and Kevin Baxter, are discussing the many details that are missing around MLS and the Galaxy. Josh and Kevin will start with a discussion on scheduling as the Galaxy's website now shows only the two games they previously played. Obviously, this is gearing up toward a schedule release for the tournament. But it's also pointing toward a more significant schedule release for a regular season that is supposed to take shape after the August 11th Championship Match in the "MLS is Back" tournament. But the guys talk about how there is no guarantee any games will take place, and with more rises in COVID-19 cases around the US, how a regular-season could still be in doubt. And just because they voted to have the tournament, doesn't mean that MLS players will be happy about it. As DC United's Bill Hamid blasts the League for keeping them in "jail," while in Orlando, he's hitting a nerve that is common in pro sports. Even the NBA seems to be halting its progression towards restarting with player concerns about being quarantined for weeks on end. But Josh and Kevin really dig into a questionable transfer market and why MLS has the ability to be a world player come this summer and why each team's ability to grow will depend on their ownership. We've got a great show lined up for you, and we're glad you're safe and healthy enough to listen!

Atlanta United had a chance to clinch a playoff berth while jumping back into the lead for the Supporters’ Shield. Instead, it delivered one of its less convincing away performances of the season in a 3-1 loss to D.C. United. It wasn’t as bad as the 4-0 loss to the Houston Dynamo to open the season, but for a club that hoped to get a foothold against the New York Red Bulls in the standings, it was a poor time to come away empty handed. Atlanta looked sloppy in the early going with some mistimed passes and poor pursuit of the ball, which might have been foreshadowing for how the remainder of the night would go. As the match went on, it began to settle in a little and look for chances in the box, getting its best chance in the 24th minute as Bill Hamid misjudged a ball that deflected off Ezequiel Barco and off the post. But D.C. United struck first in the 29th courtesy of Lucho Acosta, who continued his strong recent form by getting behind the defense and firing it past Brad Guzan to make it 1-0. Later, a goal line clearance was all that came between D.C. and a 2-0 lead as Atlanta’s back line continued to struggle in front of a frustrated Guzan. In the 40th minute, Atlanta gained a equalizer from an unlikely source. Jeff Larentowicz’s perfect header off a corner kick sailed behind Hamid to knot it at 1. In the 52nd minute, Paul Arriola won a penalty as Barco was ruled to have taken him down in the box, and Wayne Rooney calmly converted to make it 2-1. D.C. United looked a step faster than Atlanta at times throughout the 2nd, and in the 77th minute, shaky defending doomed the Five Stripes once more. Acosta added his second in what turned out to be a dagger of a goal to put the momentum firmly on his team’s side. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Greetings once again, MLS fans! Welcome back to the show. This week we dive right in to recapping all the Week 24 action around the MLS. Columbus and Sporting KC get back to winning, Vancouver surprises Portland, and the stars were out for DC United: Luciano Acosta nets a hat-trick and Wayne Rooney makes the play of the week. The hosts dive into the state of DC United soccer, noting outstanding performances so far by Wayne Rooney, the rising Luciano Acosta, and the impending goalkeeper switch now that Bill Hamid is back in the capital on loan from FC Midtjylland. Current goalkeeper Ousted, who interestingly is from Denmark, needs to improve his form or he'll be ousted from his position. As the show wraps up, the hosts discuss the Supports' Shield race, and not surprising to everyone is that Atlanta United is the current favorite. However, the hosts discuss what happened to their original pick, SKC, whether a club from the Western Conference can claim the shield. Thanks for listening! Let us know your thoughts in the comments below, email us at podcast@sonsofapitchsoccer.com or follow us on twitter @SOPSoccer.

Welcome back to SOP Soccer! This week, we recap the scores around the league, noting the upset by San Jose (at FC Dallas), Toronto FC drawing Atlanta United (at Atlanta!), and Sporting KC picking up 3 crucial points in a physical game with the Houston Dynamo. We recap the MLS All-Star game vs. Juventus and discuss whether the games against big-name, international clubs still has its appeal. Is it all about the money or all about the game? Finally, the hosts discuss the latest transfer moves and rumors: -Christian Ramirez to LAFC. The expansion team adds more firepower, and why the trade is good for Minnesota United (despite the fans losing a favorite). Is LAFC going for it now? -Bill Hamid back to DC United? Speculation is that he wants to better compete for the USMNT job. Does he have a chance to supplant Bono or Steffen? -Wil Trapp to Blackburn Rovers? Pay us, says Columbus Crew! Coach Gregg Berhalter sends a message that they value their players much higher than their suitors. Should they?

Jon and Trey talk about a road draw that kinda needed to be a win, the lack of concrete transfer rumors surrounding DCU at the moment, and the prospect of Bill Hamid coming back to United.  Both Trey and Jon were tired as hell, so you know this show was great.

The USMNT finished their pre-World Cup friendlies against a solid UEFA opponent in Ireland and a World Cup favorite in France. Oddly, they lose to Ireland 2-1 and draw France 1-1 The hosts break down the goals and the line-ups, and discuss the future of the USMNT players and coaches. Wil Trapp captained the team amid speculation of a move from Columbus to Europe. Bill Hamid and Zack Steffen started in goal, and the hosts discuss how Steffen and Alex Bono are the keepers of the future. Also, the United Bid of Canada, USA, and Mexico won the right to host World Cup 2026. The news came the morning after our recording, and we at Sons of a Pitch are very excited to watch the greatest players in the world in our backyard (albeit in 8yrs or so). What are your thoughts on the USMNT roster and coaching candidates? Are you done seeing Jozy Altidore and Bobby Wood, like Nick? Do you want a European style coach, like Mike? Let us know in the comments below.

On this episode of Soccer 2 the MAX, Sean Garmer, Erik Watkins and Rachael McKriger look at the latest happening state side. First, they begin by discussing the United States Men's National Team's 2-1 loss to Ireland. Where there any good takeaways from the game? Was it a case of rust for Bill Hamid? Or something more? Did the squad have too many changes? Or just a case of a bad day for the team? Is Ireland just that much better? The trio also talk about the latest concerning the 2026 World Cup bid. The results are in from the FIFA surveys and the United bid has a nice lead. But will that actually go into account when the voting finally takes place? They also discuss where the United bid and Morocco bid waver, and more. Rachael also breaks down the United States Women's National Team call-ups for the games against China. All positions are taken into account. Who's Rachael excited about seeing? And who doesn't make the grade? Plus, Cincy joins Major League Soccer. The latest in both MLS and NWSL, and quite a few other things too.

Bilal (Bill) Hamid is a professional soccer player born and raised in the Washington Metropolitan Area. He is a star goalkeeper for the United States Men's National Team and a recent addition to Danish Superliga side FC Midtjylland. Signing his first professional contract at the age of 18, Bill worked his way up from DC United's youth academy to cement a place in MLS history as an all-time legend, winning the MLS Goalkeeper of the Year Award in 2014. While soccer has been a constant in Bill's life since he was 5 years old, he manages to stay balanced by focusing on two other factors that define him - faith and family. Bill is a proud Muslim who prays before every match and does his best to fast during the Islamic holy month of Ramadan. He's also very proud of his Sierra-Leonean roots. He shares stories of his experience as a first-generation American growing up in a strict immigrant household, where staying connected to his roots was of the utmost importance. At 27 years old, it seems like Bill has everything figured out. He has an unrelenting commitment to leave a legacy of greatness in this world, and it can be felt with every word he speaks. Tune into this episode of Culture Study to hear Bill share his life journey, one that expands way beyond the soccer pitch.

Back after our Thanksgiving break, Jason, Ben, and Adam are ready to give you an extra-long episode. We start with continuing are look back at the 2017 season, and what it means for 2018, and today we concentrate on the single most important day of this year: the transfer deadline day that brought in Paul Arriola, Zoltan Stieber, Russell Canouse, and Bruno Miranda. We look at what they did this year and what we expect them to do next year. In our second segment we continue with our reviews of individual players and ask if we want them back next year. Since we skipped last week, we have a lot of players to get through: Sean Franklin, Bill Hamid, Ian Harkes, Jared Jeffrey, Taylor Kemp, Chris Korb, Bruno Miranda, Patrick Mullins, and Patrick Nyarko. Finally, we get to your Twitterbox questions where we talk about turkey, D.C. United players as Thanksgiving dishes, Dos Equis, the Washington Spirit and NWSL, and so much more. Give it a listen!

Filibuster is feeling nostalgic today, and for obvious reasons. Jason, Ben, and Adam spend much of the episode talking about the send-off for RFK Stadium and less about the game between D.C. United and the New York Red Bulls. We start with the Legends Game that happened before the MLS watch, and talk with warmth and fondness about the players who were there. We also discuss the sneaky competition between Dwayne De Rosario and Louis Crayton in that game. We read some of your emails about your RFK memories, and also discuss how much this building has meant over the years. In the second segment, we talk a little bit about the game and how much we enjoyed that goal, set up by Russell Canouse and Zoltan Stieber, and finished by Luciano Acosta and Paul Arriola. We dive in specifically on Canouse before talking about the departure of Bill Hamid and the team's rebuild for next year. Give it a listen!

Well that was fun, wasn't it? Adam, Jason, and Ben are here to talk about D.C. United's 4-0 destruction of the San Jose Earthquakes, and we start by talking about Patrick Mullins and what his performance means for Deshorn Brown. We discuss the breakthrough of Paul Arriola and how Russell Canouse could have been the most important player on the field that day. Ben has a theory about why the young players didn't play in this game, and then we have to talk about the rumors swirling around Bill Hamid. We end the segment with a HOT TAKE from Adam. In the second segment we talk about the New York Red Bulls and what has been happening to them. We talk about their defense, the Dax McCarty-shaped hole in their team, and the confusing things Jesse Marsch has done. We ponder about their press, and gameplan D.C. United's best ways of breaking them down. We also recorded our thoughts about D.C. United's weekend game against the Columbus Crew; our Patreon subscribers will get access to that later today, while everyone else can listen to it in the regular way on Thursday. If you want to support us and get all the perks of being a patron, head on over and take a look!

Every single result result matters this time of year, and Andrew Wiebe, David Gass and Matt Doyle jump in the studio to break down MLS Week 29 (see below) before giving Real Salt Lake head coach Mike Petke a call (25:35) following his team's streak-breaking win against the Seattle Sounders. In this episode... Real Salt Lake's climb from last place to a playoff place (2:30) Did Tata Martino make a mistake by not resting stars in ATL? (5:52) Diego Valeri's MVP and Golden Boot chances (12:41) How will the wacky Western Conference shake out? (14:56) Did D.C. United send a message by benching Bill Hamid? (21:33) Gyasi Zardes ... right back? (23:23) The guys will be back for an extra-special ExtraTime Live driven by Continental on Thursday at 2 pm ET for an MLSsoccer.com exclusive. For the first time in the history of 24 Under 24, the Top 10 will be revealed on Facebook Live. Set a reminder below to follow along as MLS's best young players are honored!

Adam makes his triumphant return from his western scouting trip, and is back in the saddle with Jason and Ben. We talk about the highly improbably three game winning streak, and review how the big additions have performed based on a question from one of our Patreon subscribers. We talk about Russell Canouse, Zoltan Stieber, and Paul Arriola and how they have all made the team instantly better. We also discuss United's dedication to playing out of the back and the improved defense from these past three games. In the second segment we talk about the US men's national team's upcoming World Cup qualifiers. After the hole the team was put in, all qualifiers are big ones, and these against Costa Rica and Honduras are no different. We discuss the roster (and boo the decision not to have Bill Hamid) and look at what they need to do to qualify. Give it a listen!

Adam is still on loan to the Commonwealth of Kentucky, so we bring in Steven Streff as a replacement to join Jason and Ben. We start with D.C. United's improbable 1-0 win over the Colorado Rapids, and we have to start with Jared Watts' hilarious own goal. We also talk about how good both Bill Hamid and Russell Canouse were, and also sing the praises of Paul Arriola before wishing that players would just shoot the dang ball. Even without Adam we can have an Adam's Fun Time News Roundup Time, and so we talk about the injury status of various D.C. United players and the fact that the team will actually have players called up by their national teams for these World Cup qualifiers. Finally, we get to the two games this week: mid-week against Atlanta United, and the weekend against the New England Revolution. We first talk about the trade of Bobby Boswell to Atlanta, talk about their new spaceship stadium and how it doesn't fully work yet, and ponder the options to replace Steve Birnbaum. For the Revolution, we spend most of the time askinga single question: why haven't their young players gotten better? Give it a listen!

Who won the MLS summer transfer window? The guys break down all the moves after a hectic deadline day with former MLS executive and New York Red Bulls sporting director Ali Curtis. Who got the best of the flurry of trades that beat the close of the window? Which under-the-radar moves caught the eye? Who should have made a move and didn't? What on earth is going on with Krisztian Nemeth? You won't want to miss this episode. As far as winners go, D.C. United are an easy choice. The Black-and-Red introduced their newest crop of players on Thursday, including club record signing Paul Arriola, who cost a reported $3.5 million from Club Tijuana. General manager Dave Kasper chats with Andrew about the club's financial splash, effort to get younger and more dynamic ahead of the opening of Audi Field and ongoing contract negotiations with Bill Hamid. Two Baer's Lairs in one week? Consider it our present to you. Ben Baer jumps in for the mailbag to talk Sporting KC's US Open Cup semifinal win, the Union's lack of player movement, Minnesota's glut of wingers and banter for days. Want to be a part of the show?

After pausing so that we could take in the D.C. United game against FC Dallas, we immediately realized that was a mistake. However, Jason, Ben, and Adam are here to talk you through all of the soccer games in the past week and change, including the matches against the Montreal Impact and the New England Revolution. We start with the failures in the Dallas game generally, before focusing on Steve Birnbaum in particular. We also discuss D.C. United's passing accuracy as a false statistic, and pine for a new defensive midfielder. We also get into the US Open Cup loss so that we can talk about how Sean Franklin is. not. a center back., before giving up on the segment to talk about happier things. Those happier things are the US men's national team, for which we bring on our good friend Donald Wine II. We discuss this Gold Cup B team, why Bill Hamid isn't the starter even though he should be, and Dom Dwyer's appearance on the USMNT stage. We also give our thoughts on the Best XI that Bruce Arena could roll out and ponder the future of the Gold Cup in these Copa America times. Give it a listen!

Adam rejoins Ben and Jason, which is good because there is a metric ton of soccer about which to talk. We take the games against Atlanta United and the Philadelphia Union as a compare and contrast. We talk about the expected goals in each game and how they indicate some signs of life, but also talk about how it still isn't nearly good enough yet. We also discuss how important Patrick Nyarko is to everything this team does, how the Bill Hamid save at the end of the Atlanta game changed everything, and the admirable admission by Harris Medunajun that Luciano Acosta didn't kick him. To close out the first segment, we talk about Bill Hamid's call-up to the USMNT, and what it means for United in these next few games, and the signing of Deshorn Brown. In the second segment, we discuss the next two games: the US Open Cup matchup against the New England Revolution tomorrow night and their game against the Montreal Impact on Saturday. The Revs may be the team that has to rotate even more players than United, given their injuries and their compacted schedule as well. On the other side of the field. United may be buoyed by the return of some long-injured players, and may be forced to have them play significant minutes. Finally, ask whether the Montreal Impact are still a one-dimensional counter-attacking team and how they will deal with their Canadian callups. We end with our traditional question and try and figure out how to gameplan L'Impact. Give it a listen! We want to again thank everyone who has supported us on Patreon and who allow us to continue to make this show and make it better; if you want to help us, click the link and take a look! Patrons will be getting some more bonus content this week, in the form of the full story of how Jason spent 7 hours outside of RFK Stadium recently.

With D.C. United's first midweek game of the season coming up this week, we have a jam-packed episode; we also have to do it without the services of Adam, who is off on assignment. In his stead, Jason and Ben break down D.C. United's 1-0 victory over the Vancouver Whitecaps, including starting off by talking about Jose Ortiz's embellishment and Kendall Waston's role in all of it. We also talk about Bill Hamid's penalty and how bad the Whitecaps were in front of goal. We end this segment by breaking down how good Bill Hamid was and how good Ian Harkes was. We then move on to talk about tomorrow's game against Orlando City SC, including how poor they've looked since their great start. We talk about how Cyle Larin and Carlos Rivas run the show, how much rotation they may have to do, and who might start up top for United. For the final segment, we bring back one of our favorite guests, Josie Becker, to talk LA Galaxy. We get into how much better the team is without Jermaine Jones, whether or not Curt Onalfo can keep him on the bench, and how Romain Alessandrini has changed the team. We also ask Josie to gameplan the Galaxy for us, all in-between jokes about British accents and Scientology. Give it a listen! We are also launching the Filibuster Patreon(https://patreon.com/filibuster) today, so go take a look at the things that we want to do and the benefits you could acquire. This show as it is won't be going anywhere, but we really want to be able to take it to the next level, which we can only do with your support. Thanks!

So it turns out that cheaters actually DO prosper. At least in MLS under PRO referees they do. Vancouver Whitecaps' 1-0 loss to D.C. United, thanks to a dodgy winning penalty call, is a hard one to take. At least we now know what the D.C. aspect of the team stands for. But it wasn't all just down to that one call. The 'Caps did enough to win the game and their finishing, good goalkeeping, and the woodwork, all conspired to prevent that from happening. We look back at all the big talking points from the match and hear the thoughts of both coach, Vancouver's Carl Robinson and D.C.'s Ben Olsen [15:57]. We also chat with the Man of the Match, D.C. goalkeeper Bill Hamid and centre back Steve Birnbaum [53:04]. But the 'Caps have to put all of that behind them as they have a big game coming up this week with a Canadian Championship semi-final second leg in Montreal. We look back at the first leg, ponder what to expect from the second, and hear from two WFC2 players that made their competitive Whitecaps first team debuts last week - Dutch centre back Sem de Wit [73:32] and New Zealand defender Deklan Wynne [81:15]. And there's still time to look at the Whitecaps new training pitch and facility and hear the thoughts of Jordan Harvey, David Ousted, and Robbo on it and training on grass as opposed to turf [97:14] and have a quick look ahead to this Saturday's MLS match with Atlanta. The AFTN Soccer Show is brought to you in partnership with BCsoccerweb.com, your one stop site for all your BC, Canadian, and North American soccer news and links. Have a listen!

Even though we are a day late we are always here for you: it is Filibuster time! Jason, Adam, and Ben are here and we go deep on D.C. United's 3-1 win over Atlanta United. We talk about the first ten minutes and what a scramble it was, the D.C. United goals that changed the game, and the injuries to Luciano Acosta and Bill Hamid. We also break down the formation shift that happened early in the game, the expected goals for both teams throughout, and the play of Sebastien LeToux. In the second segment we preview the upcoming game against the Montreal Impact. We talk about their play on the counter and how important Ignacio Piatti is to that, as well as what the injury to Matteo Mancosu might mean for United's chances. We also talk formations, gameplans, and even some about magnets, so give it a listen!

Get out your super glue because we're sticking to soccer on this week's pod! Tune in as we cover MNUFC's loss to San Jose, recap the week's biggest MLS moments (all hail Bill Hamid!), and avoid all the week's supporters drama (insert single three letter word Borat quote here). That and a visit to the Glorious White Cock on this week's episode of We Call It Soccer!

D.C. United is off this weekend, but Filibuster is not! Jason, Ben, and Adam are here to talk about (another) depressing game. We talk about the penalty kicks in the recent loss to Columbus Crew SC and wonder why D.C. United is so bad in March throughout their history. We also discuss why the high pressure that worked so well at the end of last year is failing this year, what is wrong with them in open play, and what is going on inside the box. In the second segment we bring on Matt Doyle to talk about the USMNT and their upcoming World Cup qualifiers. We ask him what Bruce Arena will be forced to do with this roster, what he's going to do in central midfield, and if Bill Hamid will make the Gold Cup roster. We sneak a question about D.C. United in at the end, before asking Matt about the gameplan for the first game on Friday. Give it a listen!

The three horsemen of the Filibuster are back in action, and ready to bring you a (belated) episode this week. Adam, Jason, and Ben start off by catching you up on the week's news, with the re-signing of Jared Jeffrey and the fact that Chris Durkin will spend most of the year with D.C. United first up. We talk about the signing of Sebastien Le Toux and the signing of Ian Harkes, plus the injury and surgery of Bill Hamid. Finally, we end the segment by talking about Sean Franklin at center back, Nick DeLeon at fullback, and the trialists who are in camp (who also happen to be fullbacks). In the second segment we bring on our old friend Sebastian Salazar. We talk about his move to ESPN, the happenings at MLS Media Day, and Tim Howard's comments to USA Today. We ask him about the difference in the US men's national team under Bruce Arena, Major League Soccer, and the new expansion teams. We end his time on the show by laughing at the LA Galaxy, talking about D.C. United and their defense, and asking him if he misses his Capitol Soccer Show co-host, Greg Roche. Give it a listen!

You've waited for it, and now it is back! Jason and Adam are here to serenade your ears while Ben is off on assignment. We start with an Adam's Fun Time News Roundup Time™️️, which kicks off with the news of Bill Hamid's injury. We also talk about D.C. United's full schedule, the potential Ian Harkes signing, and the preseason schedule (which convenes next week!) The second segment is our SuperDuperDraft SuperFun Supertacular! We talk about how the three picks fit into the team, whether or not the third and fourth rounds should be ended, and how the consensus top 2 players from last week quickly turned into a top 5. We also talk about the surprising new amount of transperancy with allocation money in trades, and the weirdness of assigning draft grades.

The Filibuster crew is back to talk about all things soccer. Jason, Adam, and Ben kick off the show talking about the MLS Cup Final this weekend, and we break down how Toronto FC got here after talking Seattle last week. We discuss each team's defense, which will be facing imposing offenses, and we talk about who will be the difference maker for each team. We then get into talking about the re-signing of Steve Birnbaum, which evolves into a larger discussion about what we want to see done with targeted allocation money. In the second segment, we get into cake or death: We talk Kofi Opare, Jalen Robinson, Chris Rolfe, Alvaro Saborio, and Lloyd Sam and ask which of them we want back next year. And finally, we answer your questions! We talk about boats, D.C. United's tactics, the expansion draft and Atlanta United's signings, and Bill Hamid. Give it a listen!

It is a Tuesday, which means there is another Filibuster to delight and amaze your ears. We start off with a news roundup (Adam's fun time news roundup time), in which we talk about the departure of Davy Arnaud, the seemingly confirmed departure of Alvaro Saborio, and the rumors about the status of Luciano Acosta's negotiations. We then move into our player review series, and put Julian Buescher, Nick DeLeon, Andrew Dykstra, Sean Franklin, Bill Hamid, and Charlie Horton under the microscope. Finally, we gripe about the fact that there are no MLS Cup Playoffs this weekend (curse you, Toronto Argonauts!) and then talk about the disaster that is the US Men's national team. We also find some good things to talk about, such as the partnership of Jozy Altidore and Bobby Wood, before ending with our suggestions for Jurgen Klinsmann on how to gameplan Costa Rica tonight. Give it a listen!

Even though there wasn't a D.C. United game this weekend, there is still a Filibuster for you to enjoy on Tuesday. Jason, Adam, and Ben talk about the change in ownership of D.C. United, with Jason Levien and Erick Thohir buying out long-time investor Will Chang. We then shift gears to talk about the national team, talking specifically about Steve Birnbaum and Bill Hamid and tearing our hair out at the comments Jurgen Klinsmann made about Hamid's standing. We then shift to the NYCFC game this weekend, with D.C. United able to clinch a playoff spot with a win and controlling their own destiny for fourth place (and a home playoff game). We talk about what United need to do, how they should attack the Pigeons, and how important that fourth playoff spot is. We end by talking about what D.C. United has to do to stop New York, and who New York will target when they attack United. Give it a listen!

Earlier in the week, you got Jason and Adam, and for your Friday episode of Filibuster you get Jason and Ben! The two first talk about D.C. United's 3-0 victory over the Columbus Crew SC, and we first talk about the excellent play of D.C. United's two center backs. We also talk about how the first half wasn't as bad as people thought, how Bill Hamid's game was just as impressive even though it wasn't flashy, and the way D.C. United scored their various goals. We then spend a long time talking about who from this game will get rested for the Toronto FC game, before taking a break to properly talk about Saturday's game. We invite on Duncan Fletcher from The Vocal Minority to talk about Toronto FC. We talk about their three straight draws, and how, despite their stars, they are a defense first team this year. We ask Duncan about the non-American view of Jozy Altidore and try and figure out which goalkeeper will start against United this weekend. We finish by talking about Jonathan Osorio and a #10, trying to puzzle out what formation TFC will deploy, and ask why TFC are so bad when they are playing up a man. Give it a listen!

It is our 200th episode! Jason, Ben, and Adam are here to bring you the 200th installment of Filibuster by talking about D.C. United's miraculous 2-2 draw against the New York Red Bulls. We talk about the comeback and the wing play of Lloyd Sam, Patrick Nyarko, and Lamar Neagle, before breaking down how the central midfield did without Luciano Acosta and raving about how much of a weapon Steve Birnbaum has become on set pieces. After the break, we talk about D.C. United's upcoming game against the Chicago Fire. We ask what's been going on with them since we last met, and how they will have David Accam back after his flirtation with going to France. Finally, we break down the three ways they attack and point you back to our previous episode on the Fire if you want to hear us gameplan them. Finally, we bust open a 200th episode Twitterbox! We answer questions about how long Luciano Acosta will be around, our recommendations on where to sit if you come up to RFK for a game. We compare Jalen Robinson and Kofi Opare, and talk about some D.C. United legends that are on the same level as Andrea Mancini. We give odds on whether or not FC Dallas will win the treble, answer whether or not there is something wrong with Bill Hamid, talk about the upcoming expansion draft, and estimate how many points D.C. United will need to be above the red line at the end of the season. Give it a listen!

DC United goalkeeper Andrew Dykstra stops by the program to talk about his career, injury, Bill Hamid and his father's influential past.

DC United goalkeeper Andrew Dykstra stops by the program to talk about his career, injury, Bill Hamid and his father's influential past.

With a game this Wednesday, D.C. United is back on their regular Tuesday to help you get all the info you need. Jason, Ben, and Adam start by reviewing D.C. United's 1-0 victory over Sporting Kansas City, and start with the wonderfulness that was Alhaji Kamara's goal. We ask whether the team we saw in Philadelphia and Kansas City is true D.C. United right now, and we show some love to the return of Bill Hamid. We end the first segment by talking about Luciano Acosta and Fabian Espindola and what the latter has to do to fit in the with the rest of the team. We transition quckily into the Copa America Centenario, which starts this weekend. We ask whether or not the United States are going to be OK and talk about, of course, all of the players that Jurgen is playing out of position. We get out of the segment before we get too mad at Jurgen, but we truly do want him to confound us and do well at the Copa. Finally, we bring on Dave Clark from Sounder at Heart to preview United's midweek matchup with the Seattle Sounders. We ask what is going on with the Sounders attack as well as about Brad Evans and the stingy defense. We also ask about Andrea Ivanschitz, we have to ask about Jordan Morris, and wonder if there will be any rotation for this East Coast trip. We end by asking about some veterans on the team, Osvaldo Alonso and Herculez Gomez, before exploring whether or not Sigi Schmid is on the hot seat and how Dave would gameplan Seattle for United. Give it a listen!

The MLS SuperDraft was last week, and we had correspondents there to get all sorts of recordings for you. But first Adam, Jason, and Ben talk in studio, and we have to talk about the awful news that Bill Hamid is out for a couple of months with a knee surgery. We then talk about the SuperDraft, specifically D.C. United's two picks: Julian Buescher and Paul Clowes. We then throw it to Adam and Steven at the SuperDraft for interviews with: Russ Thaler of MLSSoccer.com Julian Bueschers, D.C. United's first round pick Travis Clark of Top Drawer Soccer and Charles Boehm of soccerwire.com Ben Olsen, D.C. United's head coach Paul Clowes, D.C. United's second round pick Kevin McCauley of SBNation.com

All good things must come to an end, and that includes D.C. United's 2015 season. Adam, Jason, and Ben are here to be your Virgil as we start the journey through the Divine Comedy that is the offseason. But first, we have one last D.C. United game about which to talk: we ask whether this was the right lineup for the game between United and the New York Red Bulls, whether Olsen could have or should have changed his system, and whether or not injuries should be a talking point. We also ask whether we should be talking about firing Ben Olsen, talk about Bob Bradley as an MLS coach, and the piteous state of D.C. United's scouting network. We then move on to talk about the upcoming qualifiers for World Cup 2018. We ask whether Bill Hamid will start, talk about the first-timers on the roster and specifically Darlington Nagbe. We also discuss who should start on the forward line and could Jurgen Klinsmann get fired in any scenario. Finally, we open up the Twitterbox to some D.C. United questions. We talk about whether Kofi Opare and Steve Birnbaum will force Bobby Boswell to the bench, whether Chris Pontius and Fabian Espindola will be back next year, wonder what do the teams left have that United doesn't, and ponder a 3-5-2 for DCU. This show contains 100% of your recommended daily value of soccer, so give it a listen!

Despite technology trying it's hardest, Adam, Jason, and Ben are back for another episode of Filibuster! We talk about the difference between D.C. United versus the New England Revolution and D.C. United versus the New York Red Bulls, as well as talk about the bad refereeing that almost led to Markus Halsti getting seriously injured. We then have to carry on without Adam and talk about how Pontius' injury affected the team, the second leg of D.C. United versus the New York Red Bulls, and D.C. United's road woes. We finish this section by talking about how D.C. United has to try something different than this 442 since they don't have Davy Arnaud and it hasn't worked against the MetroStars, as well as lamenting Michael Farfan's injury. We finish by talking about the rest of the MLS Cup Playoffs and then talk about the finalists for the MLS Awards, including Bill Hamid! Give it a listen!

A Tuesday Filibuster for your listening pleasure! Adam, Jason, and Ben talk about D.C. United's historic 1-0 win over the Montreal Impact, and we have to start with Bill Hamid. We then ask whether or not we were happy with this game, despite the win, ask if anything changed when Conor Doyle came on the field for Nick DeLeon, and discuss what should be the forward pairing against New York City FC given what happened against Montreal. We then welcome on Rafael Noboa y Rivera from SB Nation's NYCFC site Hudson River Blue. We start by asking him about Tommy McNamara, who was cruelly stolen from D.C. United in the expansion draft. We ask him who has been the best player in light blue so far this year, the team's deficienies, how bad Mix Diskerud has been this year, and how Frank Lampard is the team's original sin. We close by asking him about the leaky back four. Give it a listen!

Another Tuesday means another great episode from your friends at Filibuster! Ben, Adam, and Jason talk about D.C. United's 2-0 win over Columbus Crew SC and ask whether or not this is the way that Bennyball is supposed to work? We break down Crew Sc's tactics in this game, the Chris Rolfe and Fabian Espindola goal, the squad rotation that will be necessary throughout May and June, and Sean Franklin's set piece goal. After disposing of the Crew, we have to talk about Bill Hamid's extension and what it means for D.C. United. Finally, we talk about this weekend's game against Sporting Kansas City and have to start with whatever is going on with Benny Feilhaber's hair. We then move into more on-the-field matters, asking what is the story with the Sporks this year and what United should do against them to take advantage. We end by talking about Dom Dwyer and what United should do to gameplan the Sporks. Give it a listen! And finally, we're having a Black and Red United meetup on May 30. You can find all the details at https://www.facebook.com/events/950257298340362/ . Come join us!

After six weeks, who's good and who's bad in MLS? Who knows, it's springtime and that means we're still figuring it all out! Andrew, David and Simon are back together, and they break down the weekend that was in MLS. First things first, the Rapids scored. And then they scored again. And again. And again. Plus, what's going on in Portland? What's up with the new goalkeeper in Philadelphia? And should Bill Hamid shoulder the blame for D.C. United's Atlantic Cup draw?Hamid won't have much time to dwell on it, of course, as he is one of 14 MLSers in USMNT camp for Wednesday's friendly against Mexico. Could William Yarbrough get time in goal after making his debut against Denmark? Perhaps, either way the young dual citizen will be pulled both ways as his country of birth takes on his national team. Yarbrough needs a nickname, help us out ETR faithful!In the mailbag, where would Jason Kreis and Jurgen Klinsmann fall in their own depth charts? And is this the year of the Canuck?

OCSC, how much do we love bill hamid, keeping him around on a dp contract, nick deleon and michael farfan, bill hamid save of the week NYRB-DCU, who saw this coming, BWP, what does dcu need to do to be better, what is bennyball, in depth on bennyball, what does DCU need to do to be better in this game Filibuster rides again into your ears to give you all the news you need about D.C. United, soccer, and rice poofs. We start out by talking about the game against Orlando City Soccer Club, including writing a love letter to Bill Hamid, giving Bill Hamid a designated player contract, Nick DeLeon and Michael Farfan, and how Hamid is up for save of the week and you should vote for him (even you, Toronto fans!). We then talk about this weekend's game between New York Red Bulls and D.C. United, and start off by asking who saw United and the Metros being the two best teams in the Eastern conference by this point in the season. We also talk about Bradley Wright-Phillips and what D.C. United needs to do to be better in this game than the previous one against New York. However, in the middle of all of this NYRB talk, we take a long look into what Bennyball actually is and what its defining characteristics are. Give it a listen!

Welcome to the all-musical episode of Filibuster, where we sing you the entire week's news about D.C. United! That's not actually true, but hope that you can make it through the very bad singing at the beginning because we do eventually talk about the ATX Pro Challenge, the most awesome of armadillo sheriff trophies, D.C. United's defense, the return of Bill Hamid (already in fine form), Miguel Aguilar and the right midfield in general, and the style of play that D.C. United took in these two games. We then move into roster updates, and talk about D.C. United releasing Dan Metzger and Andrew Driver as well as the new trialists coming in to try and get the third goalkeeper spot. Finally, we talk about the new interpretations of rules that the Professional Referee Organization will be implementing, including the offside rule and persistent infringement. We also through in some talk of what possible rule change we would like to see to make teams and leagues take concussions more seriously. Give it a listen!

Steve Davis welcomes SI.com's Brian Straus and U.S. internationals Will Trapp and Bill Hamid to the show.

Despite some technical difficulties that eventually cost us Jason, the Filibuster crew is dedicated to its craft. We start off by talking about D.C. United's preseason losses and whether or not we should be worried by them. We then talk about the positioning of Chris Pontius and whether he is going to feature more as a forward or as a winger, how Markus Halsti has looked so far, and players such as Bill Hamid and Luis Silva returning from injuries. We finish up the first segment talking about trialists who have come and gone and then talk about D.C. United's acquisition of Michael Farfan. We then talk about D.C. United's new secondary jersey and the different crest that is upon it. We end the podcast by talking about the collective bargaining agreement and whether or not we think there will eventually be a strike over the issue of free agency. Give it a listen!

After a week off for the holidays, the Filibuster crew is rested and ready to take on 2015! We start by walking our way through the Hate Index, which measures the teams that are least hated and most hated by D.C. United fans. You won't believe the two teams that top the list! (Yes, you will) We then answer some of your twitterbox questions about Luis Silva and his national team prospects and whether or not United should give Bill Hamid a designated player contract. Give it a listen!

We are delayed by a day, but don't worry, Filibuster is back. We start off by talking about the MLS Cup Playoffs and with the New England Revolution vs. New York Red Bulls. We talk about whether or not this series matched our expecations, Tim Cahill replacing Bradley Wright-Phillips, and the tactics of the two teams. We then move into Seattle Sounders vs. LA Galaxy, and wonder how the Sounders lost that series and take a look at the performances overall. We close by talking about MLS Cup and who we think (and hope) will win. We then talk about the D.C. United stadium plan and the DC Council for a long time, including using such words as "supplemental budget" and "first reading." We try to walk you through what actually happened yesterday and what it means for the team. We then talk about the MLS Best XI, which features two D.C. United players in Bill Hamid and Bobby Boswell, as well as talking about MLS Coach of the Year Ben Olse. Finally, we end the show with some Goat or Fox on Jared Jeffrey, Samuel Inkoom, and Eddie Johnson. Give it a listen!
