Podcast appearances and mentions of Bruce Arena

Welcome back to the Bayou City Soccer Podcast! In this episode, the guys break down a tough week for the Houston Dynamo, starting with their disappointing exit from the U.S. Open Cup at the hands of Austin FC. A heavily rotated Dynamo side struggled against Austin's first-choice lineup, and a controversial penalty decision only added to the challenge—even as some regular starters saw minutes in the second half.The conversation then shifts to the weekend clash in San Jose, where Houston raced to a 2-0 lead before conceding three unanswered goals to Bruce Arena's Earthquakes. But in true Dynamo fashion, the team didn't quit—Griffin Dorsey delivered a dramatic late equalizer to salvage a point on the road.Looking ahead, Ben Olsen and the squad face a midweek trip to New York City, followed by a return home to Shell Energy Stadium for a key matchup against Sporting Kansas City before the upcoming FIFA break.Tune in for match analysis, key player performances, and what's next for the Dynamo!-And much more!-We invite you to follow us at Bayou City Soccer!-BayouCitySoccer.net-@BayouCitySoccer on Facebook, IG, and Twitter-Hit us up using our hashtag #AskBCS-Hosts:@rudysegura3 on Twitter@crisputallaz on Twitter-Again, BayouCitySoccer.net for everything!

Emiro Garces' last-minute mistake caused the Galaxy to hemorrhage more points. On today's show, hosts Josh Guesman and Kevin Baxter discuss the loss to San Diego and how the Galaxy's endless nightmare has now reached 15 games. Could it go further? And what should the Galaxy do about mistakes so big they make you question the team's structure? Will Vanney need to make an example out of Garces? Or does that hurt the long-term goals of the club? Plus, we talk about the game with San Jose and tell you why this podcast has had it circled for a while. Get ready for the Earthquakes and Bruce Arena coming back to LA.

And finally, AC Milan book a spot in the Coppa Italia final—but what does it mean for Yunus Musah? With his minutes dwindling, is it time to start thinking about a move?

Alexi Lalas and David Mosse dive into Major League Soccer's opening week. It was an electric start for San Diego FC as they took down the reigning MLS Cup Champions. Bruce Arena's debut with San Jose was also unforgettable, topping Salt Lake 4-0. Additionally, Alexi breaks down the infamous playing out of the back and giveaway goals we continued to see this weekend. Over in Europe, Josh Sargent remained unstoppable in the Championship. He earned a brace against Stoke City and recorded his 20th goal at home in 23 matches. AC Milan's struggles continued in Serie A as Christian Pulisic missed his first career penalty kick. To cap off the weekend, the guys discussed the USWNT's SheBelieves performance and back-to-back wins among many international debuts. (6:30) To wrap the show, Alexi and Mosse chat about MLS expansion options, two-tiered pro/rel system or east and west split divisions. The guys send best wishes to former USMNT goalkeeper Tony Meola as he recovers from a heart attack.

Welcome in for another edition of the Morning Espresso from the SDH Network, brought to you by Oglethorpe University, Atlanta's premier undergraduate learning experience and soccer powerhouse.  Wild Atlanta United win in their opener on Saturday night with two goals from Latte Lath and a banger from Edwin Mosquera. Good start, but definitely things to improve going forward. Had chances to break the game wide open in the first 45, but didn't and Montreal grew into the match and provided some real challenges. San Diego became the story of the opening weekend with a 2-0 win in LA over the Galaxy. The win could have been even bigger, huge statement for San Diego. Bruce Arena started his era in San Jose with a 4-0 win over RSL, Cristian Espinoza with 3 assists from a wing back position there. Philadelphia surprised everyone with a big win in Orlando. Columbus and Chicago combined for 5 goals in the first half of a very interesting match that saw the Crew get the win with Steven Moreira again providing the spark to unbalance the opponent. Youngest USWNT lineup since 2001 saw them defeat Australia 2-1 in the SheBelieves Cup. Japan defeated Colombia 4-0 so Wednesday's USA-Japan match will determine the tournament champion and the USWNT have to win due to Japan having superior goal differential.  Sportico had a fascinating story over the weekend about the US Soccer Federation's interest in overhauling some of men's college soccer. Early stages in all of it, but I can't wait to see where everything goes. The battle for Champions League spots in England will be the defining story the rest of the way as the title is pretty much Liverpool's after their big win over Manchester City. 7 points separate 4th place City and 11th place Brentford, and a 5th Champions League spot could go to England due to the country coefficients.  Rangers fired Philippe Clement as the San Francisco 49ers try to buy up enough shares to become majority owners, setting the table for a clear new vision for the club. The Turkish league has gone outside the country to assign the referee for today's huge clash between Galatasaray and Fenerbahce.Neymar scored an Olimpico to silence taunting fans on the road, he's been looking great for Santos in his early days there.  Foster Gillett's failure to pay has stranded another player, now Valentín Gómez's transfer to Udinese in Italy has collapsed and he'll be going back to Vélez Sarsfield. The proposed relationship with Estudiantes is also on the verge of collapsing with Juan Sebastian Veron potentially leaving Argentina entirely to get more involved with The Miami FC of the USL Championship, where his son will be playing.  More Espresso on Tuesday on the SDH Network, presented by Oglethorpe University.

Nico Cantor and Tom Bogert break down the biggest storylines from MLS Opening Weekend! Tom shares his five key takeaways, including big-money signings like Emmanuel Latte Lath making an instant impact and the new intra-league trade system already causing waves. Former USMNT coaches Bruce Arena and Gregg Berhalter had very different returns to the league, while Lionel Messi's fiery side emerged in Inter Miami's 2-2 draw with NYCFC. Plus, expansion side San Diego FC stuns reigning champs LA Galaxy—are they the real deal?

Welcome in for another edition of the Morning Espresso from the SDH Network, brought to you by Oglethorpe University, Atlanta's premier undergraduate learning experience and soccer powerhouse. The USWNT started the SheBelieves Cup strongly with a 2-0 win over Colombia last night in Houston. Ally Sentnor's bombazo was the headline, Catarina Macario also scored. Japan thrashed Australia 4-0 in the other match earlier in the day. Big fan of MLS using the "Only the Captain" rule this season, essentially a throwback to the days that only the captain could speak to the referee. They specifically want to see in contentious situations that the referee only speaks with the team captains. This worked well in the Euros, I think you'll see a good number of yellow cards early on as everyone adjusts their behavior, but I like the move. Only 9 coaches in MLS started the 2023 season with their current clubs, only 16 started last season with their current clubs. Wild numbers for a league that doesn't have any pressure, huh? The coaches definitely feel that pressure. Two familiar faces in new places are Gregg Berhalter in Chicago and Bruce Arena in San Jose. Will be interesting to see how both of them fare. Biggest roster move lately in MLS is Cengiz Ünder joining LAFC on loan from Fenerbahçe. I still have questions about LAFC this season, but Ünder could provide some answers for them. Awesome to see Chris Richards invest in his hometown team, the Birmingham Legion. Rangers in Scotland might be getting new investment from the San Francisco 49ers. Still some things to work through including the Scottish FA rules on dual ownership (49ers own Leeds United), but this could be a big shot in the arm for the current #2 team in Scotland that needs help to close the gap with Celtic. Some tasty matchups drawn for the Round of 16 in the UEFA Champions League. PSG-Liverpool, Real Madrid-Atleti, Bayern-Leverkusen, Benfica-Barcelona are the highlights for me. Christian Pulisic says that all is good with him at Milan, refuting Italian media reports. Argentine media reports say that players and clubs are "fed up" with Foster Gillett not living up to agreements. More Espresso on Monday on the SDH Network, presented by Oglethorpe University.

Alexi Lalas and David Mosse are joined by Apple TV's Taylor Twellman for a look into the 2025 Major League Soccer season. They discuss the biggest transfers of the offseason, Bruce Arena and Gregg Berhalter's first year in the league, USL expansion league, and more. In the CONCACAF Champions Cup's, Djordje Mihailovic and the Colorado Rapids topped LAFC in leg-1 of the first round. Over in Europe, seven Americans made a Champions League exit. Tim Weah scored a banger for Juventus, but it was not enough to advance the squad past the knockout stage. The U.S. Women's National Team is back in action this week as they face Colombia in their first SheBelieves Cup group stage matchup. (4:56) To wrap the podcast, Alexi and Mosse dive into the game that got them into soccer, parallels between hockey and soccer, and 30 years of MLS.
