Sean Franklin grew up in a large athletic family where all sports were accounted for, except soccer. That changed when the two-time MLS All Star picked soccer over basketball and discovered his natural passion for the game as a result. Franklin recalls high school as some of his best memories playing soccer while basking in a competitive high school rivalry, but it wasn't until he was called up to the U-20 Men's National Team camp that he realized he had the potential to play professionally. Tune in this week to hear more about Franklin's soccer journey where he received various accolades and played over 300 professional games in MLS. Bobby Boswell and his former D.C. United teammate, Franklin, also touch upon a variety of key soccer topics including the importance of team coercion, coming back from injury, and addressing racial inequality both on and off the field. 

This week, Bobby Boswell sits down with St. Louis City SC's multifaceted right-back Jake Nerwinski to talk about his soccer journey. Coming from a big soccer family, Nerwinski talks about the natural love he found for the game while playing under the same coach his father had growing up, Tab Ramos. Before getting drafted by Vancouver Whitecaps FC, it wasn't until Nerwinski's senior year at The University of Connecticut (UCONN), that he considered playing professionally. Between injuries and working to improve his game over the years, Nerwinski describes how shocked he was to be selected 7th overall in the 2017 MLS SuperDraft. Once drafted, he reminisces on how quickly his MLS career began and how Vancouver will always feel like home to both him and his wife.Spoiler Alert: Stay for the incredible COVID wedding story! 

It's showtime for Play By Players Season 3, and your host Bobby Boswell is kicking it off with FC Dallas defender Sebastien Ibeagha. Beginning his soccer journey back home in Nigeria as part of an exceptionally athletic family, Ibeagha came to the United States at a young age and continued his soccer career there. Ibeagha has played over 200 professional games and received various accolades throughout his college, USL and MLS career.In this week's episode, the two sit down and discuss the mental and emotional aspects that play into an athlete's ability to perform while Ibeagha pinpoints the common thread of feeling as though you need to prove your worth in the league. Listeners will get a candid look into Sebastian Ibeagha's life prior to his MLS debut and where it stands now in addition to how Ibeagha motivates himself to break down barriers and deliver his best performance.

On this week's episode, Cristian Roldan of Seattle Sounders FC and the U.S. Men's National Team talks with Bobby Boswell about the driving forces behind his midfield domination over 250 professional games, two MLS Cup Championships, and MLS All-Star status. Cristian spent much of his youth in Pico, California learning what it meant to build yourself from the ground up and remain loyal to family, community, and teammates. Playing soccer with his brothers at a young age, Roldan has never been a stranger to competition. While reiterating the importance of fan and community devotion as a professional athlete, viewers get to see how he fulfills his “rinse and repeat” lifestyle and how this translates to his role in the league. 

Bobby Boswell sits down with FC Cincinnati's dynamic forward Brandon Vazquez, to talk about his unique and ‘meteoric rise' to MLS. Growing up in Chula Vista, California, Vazquez spent many days of his week crossing the border from the U.S. to Mexico where he played for Club Tijuana. From playing across the country on dirt fields and training long hours every day, Vazquez worked his way up to his leading role on FC Cincinnati with no plans to stop there. Through the lens of Vazquez, listeners will be able to see how perseverance, family, and frustration come into play while navigating the MLS. *Recorded September 1, 2022

The Best of Soccer Matters featuring interviews with former Dynamo defender Bobby Boswell and former USMNT Youth Coach Hugo Perez.

The MLS Cup Playoffs are here! Pitch Pass will spend the next month breaking down the match ups and making BOLD predictions. Roche will be joined throughout the month by former MLS Defender Of The Year, Bobby Boswell, who will be sharing his expert analysis exclusively on Pitch Pass. Sounds legit, don't it?

Good friend of the podcast (and D.C. United legend), Bobby Boswell joins Roche to discuss the upcoming MLS CBA. Boswell has been in the room for the last two rounds of CBA negotiations and offers unique insight on what the players got last time and what they can achieve this time. He also advises you "stay woke" (his words) on what is and isn't important to the players(13:06). But first, he breaks down the recent appearance of the number 32 in a recent D.C. United match, how it got there (hint: Steve Birnbaum), and the magical powers of the iconic number. Pitch Pass is sponsored by Tropical Smoothie Cafe.

Bobby Boswell has an intense passion for replaceable blade knife design. He uses this style of knife on a very regular basis throughout the year doing work as a wildlife biologist, and he also uses them in the field for gutting or skinning game. The list of knives that Bobby has tested include models from Havalon, Tyto, Kershaw, Kestrel, Gerber, Civilware, Outdoor Edge, Columbia River, Gerry McGinnis and more. Topics of review include weight, ease of use, handle style, folding vs. fixed, safety, price, and utility. There are even replaceable blade knives that have attachments for things other than blades, such as bone saws or even backpacking sporks. Every knife seems to have a set of pros and cons, but Bobby lays out what features he's found to be the best in certain brands as well as what he'd wish to see from certain manufacturers.

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!

Today has been an insane day of news that it makes like everything seem like years ago. But it was only three days ago that D.C. United played against Toronto FC and got a point after having been down a man for over half the game! Jason, Ben, and Adam talk about that game, the start of which was the best D.C. United has played all year. We talk about TFC's performance in the game, Sean Franklin's up or down play, and the slew of tactics Ben Olsen used in the second half to stop TFC. In the second segment we go full-on news roundup, and today has already made some of this need further updates. We talk about Bruno Miranda and Zoltan Stieber, D.C. United's new wing acquisitions. We also talk about Gary Medel, the defensive midfield, and what the fact that they were offering all of that money means. We end by talking about two trades: that of Lamar Neagle, and that of Bobby Boswell (which broke while we were recording). Give it a listen!

We like doing a podcast more than we dislike reliving D.C. United's poor performance this week, so we are here for you. We open the show talking about the meetup that we are having on June 3rd, and you should definitely come to it. It's gonna be fun! Less fun was D.C. United's performance this weekend, and we open with the same position we've been opening with for awhile: the central midfield. Jason has some particularly bad stats about Marcelo Sarvas and Jared Jeffrey's performance in this game. We talk about David Accam's goal, the fact that, surprisingly, D.C. United did have a couple of chances, and the play of Steve Binrbaum and Bobby Boswell. We end by commemorating the return of Chris Korb, talk about the young players who could be making an impression, and wonder if new ideas or formations might help anything. In the second segment, we make the major announcement that we have been teasing: We're starting a Patreon! The link will be up soon, and we would appreciate it if those who could threw in a couple of bucks to help us record the show and to take it to the next level. But don't worry; this show isn't going anywhere. We then talk about the Vancouver Whitecaps game this Friday, including their inconsistency and the fact that they'll have to replace Matias Laba. We also investigate their attack and defense, before breaking down what D.C. United can do against them. Give it a listen!

Unfortunately, we have to talk about this game. Adam, Jason, and Ben are back to pick up the pieces after D.C. United's demolition at the hands of the Philadelphia Union. We talk about the disaster and try and figure out what happened to United. We ask if teams can use the blueprint that the Montreal Impact and the Union have used, fouling the crap out of United, to keep beating them. And we have to talk about Philadelphia's goals, the play of Jared Jeffrey and Marcelo Sarvas, and the play of Bobby Boswell and Kofi Opare. We can get through this together. When we finally reach the second segment, we bring on Sean Spence of Hot Time in Old Town to talk about the resurgent Chicago Fire. We talk about them spending money on things like Bastian Schweinsteiger, the play of Nemanja Nikolic, and the status of their right backs. Since its the Fire, we also have to ask about their goalkeeper situation, before asking what rotation we might see because of their midweek game. Finally, we ask Sean how he would gameplan against the Fire if he were Ben Olsen. Give it a listen!

Dave is down at GA Cup, where the best youth players in the country are battling international competition for bragging rights. He sits down with MLS youth technical director Fred Lipka and ATL UTD academy director Tony Annan to discuss how the US and Canada are trying to produce the next big star from the ground up. With David at GA Cup, Andrew and Matt tackle MLS Week 7 alone. Are Gyasi Zardes and Giovani dos Santos primed to explode? Are the Union in a tailspin? Should Pirlo ride the bench? Why is Bobby Boswell so important to D.C. United's success? Plus, your MLS LIVE game of the week goes down in Houston, and Timbers troll is gonna troll. Speaking of trolls, the Hot-Take Hotline is a hit, and you won't want to miss the latest crop of voicemails.  

Filibuster is back with another electric episode, so hold onto your hats! Jason, Adam, and Ben talk about what a difference a month makes against New York City FC and what D.C. United changes forced the Pigeons to do. We discuss how poor their crossing ways and how much Bobby Boswell had to do with that, plus the fact that goals are starting to go in. To close out the segment we embrace the ugly, talk about our preferred defensive midfielder for the game against the New York Red Bulls, and shower some praise on Nick DeLeon. In the second segment we welcome on Jason Iapicco of Once A Metro to talk about the Harrison energy drink concern. We talk about their 4-2-2-2 and whether it has come down from on high in Austria as well as the departure of Dax McCarty. We ask (evil) Jason about set piece goals, their right back, and the play of Bradley Wright-Phillips so far, before getting into their USL graduates and the enigma that is Gonzalo Veron. We end by asking Jason how he would break down the Red Bulls if he were in Ben Olsen's shoes. Give it a listen!

This is the first week that we really don't have any D.C. United games to talk about, but the Filibuster crew would never let you down, especially not on Election Day! We start out by talking about Steve Birnbaum's call-up to the USMNT, and talk about whether or not he will start come Friday evening against Mexico. We also talk about the reported departure of assistant coach Amos Magee, before moving on to the Goat or Fox/Cake or Death series: Luciano Acosta, Miguel Aguilar, Steve Birnbaum, and Bobby Boswell are up this week. We were also going to talk about Julian Buescher, but we went on a long tangent about a D.C. United USL team in the middle that we ran out of time. In the second segment, we talk about the MLS Cup Playoffs (yes, they're still happening!). We talk about each of the second legs, laughing especially at the LA Galaxy and both of the teams from New York. Give it a listen!

The Filibuster podcast, just like D.C. United, is on a rocket ride of success as we blast into the playoffs! We open with United's 3-1 win over New York City FC, and ponder whether or not the first half was the best 45 minutes of the year for the team. We talk about the delicious ridiculousness of Bobby Boswell crossing the ball to Steve Birnbaum and break down the pressure that United applied on the Pigeons that led to the third goal. We also wax rhapsodic about the team-wide beauty that was the first goal, talk about the United players on the team of the week, and try to ask whether or not this is a new version of Bennyball. We then talk about United's last game of the season, the rematch against Orlando City SC. We ponder whether they will be more threatening with nothing for which to play, and discuss the young players who have spots on next year's team in mind. We discuss why Kevin Molino has become the odd man out, whether or not this game will look more like the win against Columbus Crew SC, and then look wide to talk about the Colorado Rapids' style of play and how that compares to D.C. United. Give it a listen!

It is a grumpy night for the Filibuster crew, with a lot of good reasons why. Jason, Adam, and Ben have to talk about D.C. United's 2-0 loss to New York City FC, and we have to start with all of the misses of Alvaro Saborio. We then wonder why the heck Patrick Nyarko started if he could only make it 25 minutes, and wonder why Jared Jeffrey was the sub who came in and not Miguel Aguilar. We talk about Ben Olsen's substitute pattern in this game in general, before also focusing our criticism lasers on the very poor play of Bobby Boswell in this game. We end by talking about Chris Rolfe's concussion that has him out for an indefient amount of time and about D.C. United's potential new signing, Alhaji Kamara. We then have to talk about the other New York team, New York Red Bulls, as D.C. United play them on Friday. We talk about how the Red Bulls are figuring themselves out at exactly the wrong time for United. We mention their set pieces and how they are scoring, before turning back to United and asking how they are going to play against the Red Bulls. We break down United's central midfield, before figuring out how to best game plan NYRB. Give it a listen!

Filibuster is back on a Tuesday morning, and we're both happy (about soccer) and sad (about Prince). We start (7:30) by talking about D.C. United's 3-0 win over the New England Revolution, and we have to mention the Luciano Acosta goal. We talk about how Fabian Espindola got himself injured by shooting as well as the improved play of Bobby Boswell and the back four. We end by talking about the buildup to Lamar Neagle's penalty kick goal (and how nice it was to have a well taken penalty) and talk about Alvaro Saborio's goal and whether it should have counted. In the second segment we welcome back Sean Spence from Hot Time in Old Time to talk about D.C. United's upcoming trip to Chicago. We talk about the Fire's offensive woes so far and whether or not they are explicitly playing defense first. We compare Veljko Paunovic to Frank Yallop, and ask Sean about Paunovic's benching of Sean Johnson. We inquire about the state of a number of players, including Razvan Cocis, Kennedy Igboananike, and Gilberto (with a sad interlude about Harry Shipp), before ending by asking Sean how much he misses Chris Rolfe and Patrick Nyarko. Give it a listen!

Another day, another Filibuster to delight and surprise you. We have to talk about D.C. United's 1-0 loss to Toronto FC, and talk about how United played exactly into Toronto's gameplan. We talk about the bright first half versus the dour second, and spend plenty of time talking about Luciano Acosta, where he fits in this lineup, and whether or not there should be a formation change. We end by talking about how badly the Eastern Conference sucks compared to the West this year, and how Bobby Boswell has had yet another underwhelming game. In the second segment, we talk about this weekend's matchup against the New England Revolution. We talk about their weird season so far, and how their central midfield (and the lack of Jermaine Jones) have played a big part in that. We talk about why they aren't great this year before breaking down their gameplan, specifically Charlie Davies and their defenders. Give it a listen!

Filibuster is back for your ears and is good for your mind. Adam, Jason, and Ben are back and are here to review D.C. United's 4-0 win over the Vancouver Whitecaps. We discuss whether or not they were any good, and then get into D.C. United's play. We talk about Fabian Espindola playing team ball, Luciano Acosta and Fabi possibly playing together, and whether or not Alvaro Saborio is the new Alan Gordon. We also talk about Nick DeLeon and the central midfield, how Bobby Boswell was better, and answer your Twitterbox about D.C. United's keepers. In the second segment, we bring on Kristin Knowles of The Vocal Minority to talk about D.C. United's weekend matchp against Toronto FC. We talk about TFC's struggles since their first game and their formation changes. We also talk about their eight game road trip to start the season, the development of Canadian players, and how to gameplan TFC this weekend. Give it a listen!

The Filibuster podcast is back at its full length, but unfortunately it only has depressing things about which to talk. Jason, Adam, and Ben start off by talking about D.C. United's comprehensive 3-0 loss to FC Dallas, and why start out by asking what needs to change about this team. These include specific things, like someone who can score goals, and more metaphysical things, like a change in mindset. We then theorize on a potential Bobby Boswell replacement and a formation that might take best advantage of all of United's current midfielders. We then switch gears to a similarly hapless team, the US Men's National Team. We talk about what happened in Guatemala and all of their players played out of position (despite what Jurgen said) before talking about how they can right the ship in Columbus Returning to D.C. United, we give a full breakdown of the San Jose Earthquakes, and what D.C. United must do in order to come away with some point from the West Coast. Give it a listen!

Filibuster is back for your trip to wherever you are going for Thanksgiving, giving your ride or flight some much needed soccer. We start by talking about the MLS Cup Playoffs and, specifically, the Portland Timbers and FC Dallas. We talk about how Portland did to Dallas what Dallas wanted to do to them, how they made that role reversal work, the players that Caleb Porter will have newly available for the second leg, and whether or not FC Dallas can come back. We then talk about the New York Red Bulls and Columbus Crew SC, including the super-sub of Cedric, the nine second goal, how Columbus was able to frustrate New York's passing and pressing, and what will they do going forward. We then look at D.C. United, including the player season review articles that have gone up so far. We give our answers or whether or not Miguel Aguilar, Davy Arnaud, Jairo Arrieta, Bobby Boswell, Facundo Coria, or Nick DeLeon will be back next season. Finally, we turn to your Twitterbox questions! We talk about whether Ben Olsen will go after Mike Magee, who they should steal from teams with new coaches, and possible trade partners out there. Give it a listen!

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!

D.C. United are on a five game winless streak, but Filibuster shows up week in and week out. Ben, Jason, and Adam are here, and we're pretty sad. We talk about D.C. United's state of mind after the the loss to Columbus Crew SC, break down the two goals scored by Crew SC, and talk about whether Steve Birnbaum or Kofi Opare should be starting next to Bobby Boswell. We end this game by talking about Alvaro Saborio and by trying to puzzle out Ben Olsen's subsistute patterns. We then briefly touch on tonight's Concacaf Champions League game, asking who we want to see play and whether or not Perry Kitchen, who is suspended on the weekend, should play. We end the show by talking about the Montreal Impact, starting off with the suspended Marco Donadel. We then talk about the player who didn't play in the last game between these two teams: Can United stop Didier Drogba, and how will they do so if they can. We then finish by talking about the roles that Taylor Kemp and Michael Farfan will have in this game. Give it a listen!

After a goal- and drama-packed weekend of the MLS action, the gang jumps in the studio to break it all down, starting with Sporting Kansas City’s historic comeback against the Whitecaps. Philadelphia, meanwhile, were on the other end of a see-saw match with Chicago that left one player bemoaning their lack of maturity. Plus, Robbie Keane is trying to weasel his way into the MVP race, Kaka’s gone missing, the Red Bulls rolled Toronto FC and Seattle and #TeamOba are back in business. In the second segment, D.C. United defensive stalwarts Bobby Boswell and Steve Birnbaum sit down with Andrew for a wide-ranging interview that includes the guys’ thoughts on Instant Replay and MLS refereeing, epic trash talkers, ideal MLS dinner partners and Targeted Allocation Money. Don’t miss it. In the mailbag, a listener wonders what MLS’ most interesting XI would look like, a D.C. fan gets some swag and the guys try to come up with theme songs for all 20 MLS clubs.

D.C. United captain and centerback Bobby Boswell talks about his penchant to get forward (#WhiteRooney), United's current form and tight finances, and fishing in the Potomac River.

The Filibuster gang is still sad about Thursday night, but we're here for you. Adam, Ben, Jason, and Donald talk about what the hell happened in D.C. United's Concacaf Champions League game against LD Alajuelense, including dissecting the play of Andrew Dykstra, Steve Birnbaum and Bobby Boswell, and Davy Arnaud and Perry Kitchen. We also talk about the scheduling of the game and theorize if there would be any way to move it even a little later. Donald then regales us with the epic story of his cab ride during his layover leaving Costa Rica. If nothing else, please listen to this story: it involves the tourism police! We then turn back to soccer and talk about the second leg of the CCL quarterfinals, and ask if D.C. United can climb the mountain before them both offensively and defensively. We also discuss whether or not any of the likes of Jairo Arrieta, Miguel Aguilar, or Michael Farfan should start this game. In the third segment, we preview D.C. United's opening weekend match against the Montreal Impact, because we are optimists. We look at their first CCL game, whether they can translate that success into MLS, and whether or not the CCL will affect either team's performance on Saturday. Finally, in a rarely seen fourth segment, we have to talk about the collective bargaining between MLS and its players' union. We talk about how there may or may not have been some progress in negotiations, give our predictions as to whether the season will start on time, and beat the drum for the University of California solution to the problem. It is a jam-packed episode, so 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!

Four games to decide which four teams will see their MLS Cup dreams live on as the MLS Cup Playoffs, presented by AT&T, ramp up. The guys start by breaking down #DCvNY with the help of Bobby Boswell. He says D.C. United were angry at themselves after that 2-0 defeat at Red Bull Arena in the first leg. Now can they reverse it at home with 1,000-plus New York supporters headed south to RFK? And what about Columbus? Do they stand a chance at Gillette Stadium? Out West, Real Salt Lake and the LA Galaxy have yet another playoff battle to settle at StubHub Center. Will we see the Robbie Keane who is a favorite to win MVP or the one who was nowhere to be found in Leg 1? And what about Seattle? They've got to get by Dallas to set up a fairytale Western Conference semifinal. In the mailbag, Simon gives apple-picking advice, and Andrew's No. 1 fan takes one of the guys to task and praises another. It won't be who you think.

This week's 11: Sacramento vs. Minnesota, USLPRO expansion, Dayton moving, Ibarra's call up, contraction, LA's recent awesomeness, SKC's recent awfulness, BWP not for MVP, Red Bulls issues, Will Johnson's injury, and Bobby Boswell's credentials.Twitter: @FirstElevenPodFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/FirstElevenPodListen Here

D.C. United center back Bobby Boswell joins the show as our official World Cup analyst and we discuss the United's U.S. Open Cup match.

A double Feature tonight. We are celebrating what would be tenor saxophonist Stanley Turrentine's 76th birthday, He died in September of 2000 of a stroke. He was born in Pittsburg on April 5,1934. The first part of the Feature will be the title selection from Max Roach's album done in Paris in 1960 called "Parisian Sketches". It was in Roach's band that Stanley and his older brother Tommy, a fine trumpet player, were introduced to the Jazz world so it's fitting that we play this piece. Stanley and Tommy along with Roach, trombonist Julian Priester and bassist Bobby Boswell are the band. We follow with what was Stanley's debut album under his own name done in January of 1960 for the small independent label, Time Records. Max Roach set this date up for Stanley and he, of course plays drums on this along with the great bassist George Duvivier and two wonderful pianists; Tommy Flanagan on four tunes and the legendary Sonny Clark on three. Stanley displays his big sound and unique phrasing here. One can hear the great history of the tenor saxophone in his playing but it is decidedly modern. Stanley uses blues inflections in everything he plays which adds to his appeal. This is his debut album and right from the start you know that he was going to have a great career in Jazz and he did! Seven tunes are heard here and five are by Stanley. The ballad is the beautiful Cahn/Styne tune "Time After Time" and one appealing tune by 'Wild Bill' Strethan Davis called "Stolen Sweets". Enjoy Stanley's first and auspicious debut.
