The Colorado Rapids are back in the win column, and we're breaking it all down! Zack Steffen and Đorđe Mihailović led the charge, but who else has stood out six games into the MLS season? Plus, after a tough Champions Cup elimination, we evaluate the Rapids' early-season performance. Late-game heroics have been the theme—three of the last four goals have come after the 70th minute. Why are the Pids only scoring late? Do we have a *Kevin* problem, and could Omir Fernandez be the solution? It's time for some *Star Spangled Banter*! We check the USMNT panic meter and ask: Are the old heads right in their criticism of the national team? Plus, NWSL updates, predictions, and picks.

We're back! after a CONCACAF Champions Cup elimination and two very different ties two games into the MLS season. With the MLS season underway, it's time to overreact! We break down how concerned Colorado Rapids fans should be after the first few games. Are early struggles a sign of trouble, or is it too soon to panic? Next, we take a look around the **MLS Western Conference** and revisit some of the **best and worst preseason takes.** Who's proving the doubters wrong, and who's already making their supporters nervous? Plus, Colorado's **new NWSL team** has announced potential names! We discuss the options, our favorites, and what they could mean for the future of soccer in Colorado. 

The Colorado Rapids just came off a frigid win against LAFC with some magic from Djordje Mihailovic. We saw Sam Bassett's debut and a scary Reggie Cannon injury in a second half that had lots action as the Pids took down Olivier Giroud and muzzled Denis Bouanga. With the MLS season here we give out our preseason Western Conference preview and predictions.

For the Glory KC is back with the 110th episode of the show. Sporting Kansas City got their offseason started with not one, but two signings. The club added two 16-year-old Homegrown players in defender Ian James and goalkeeper Jack Kortkamp. We learn a little about the new signings and talk about where they fit into this ongoing roster build. Any conversation around these signings is colored slightly with the ridiculous compensation being paid to Minnesota United. MNUFC shut down their Academy, leaving their players nowhere to play. James and Kortkamp, among others, ended up in other MLS Academies. Sporting KC had to compensate Minnesota for their Homegrown rights at the time, then again when they signed them, and they had to give them a sell-on fee if they are sold to another club. It's an absurd amount of compensation for a team that literally shut down their academy. In other news, earlier today, Sporting KC CEO and President Jake Reid was named MLS Executive of the Year. The reactions online are what you would expect. We get into why he earned that award, including all of his accomplishments over the last few years. And this can't be said enough, he DOES NOT make soccer decisions. If you are unhappy with the product on the field or the roster, blame Peter Vermes (and now Mike Burns). If you are unhappy with the coaching staff, blame Mike Illig. However, if you are unhappy with the gameday experience, fan relations, etc., that rolls up to Reid. Don Garber also gave his annual State of the League address. We cover a few highlights: Leagues Cup may be down to just 18 teams in 2025 (Garber wouldn't comment) MLS will up the number of teams in the US Open Cup after only having eight this year MLS Roster Rules don't appear to be changing And the fall to spring schedule is still on the table for MLS The KC Current also got their offseason moving with the re-signing of Nichelle Prince. It will really kick into gear in the coming days with all NWSL roster decisions due by 5:00PM CST on Tuesday the 10th of December. Claire Hutton was also up for US Young Soccer Player of the Year and eight (!!) KC Current players were on the Guardian's list of the best players in the world. In the Digital Crawl, we touch on a few topics, including: An update on an unlikely Sporting KC rumored signing LA Galaxy defeated the New York Red Bulls in MLS Cup KC Comets lose their first game of the season MASL are holding most of their playoffs in San Diego FIFA is considering a 48 team Women's World Cup Kansas City are getting two more USL2 teams Plus, a potential USL1 team in Springfield, MO Here is a rundown of topics (and approximate start times): Sporting KC make two signings - 3:44 Jake Reid wins Executive of the Year - 15:08 SKC Expansion Draft Protection Lists - 29:29 Bonus Listener Q&A - 51:44 Don Garber's State of MLS - 1:00:37 KC Current signing and updates - 1:06:22 Digital Crawl - 1:10:21 As a special gift to For the Glory KC listeners and KC Soccer Journal readers, Backheeled dot com is giving away 30 days of their amazing, independent American soccer coverage for free.

James Emmett and David Cushnan reflect on a terrific opening day at The Summit from Allianz Stadium, which saw over 2,000 movers and shakers from across the global sports industry gather at the home of England Rugby.The duo discuss a range of themes and talking points from on-stage sessions, which featured a stellar lineup of speakers across three stages. Alongside the dialogue, this episode contains short snippets of sessions and from around the venue, featuring Gerard Piqué, Kosmos; Sally Horrox, World Rugby, Mark Shapiro, Endeavor; Don Garber, Major League Soccer; Gareth Balch, Two Circles and England Cricketer Tammy Beaumont.

It's Episode 323 (shout out to everyone in the 323!), and Filly is SPICY! Hold on to your hats, folks, as Filly sounds off on a great many things. Oh, and we also talk about LAFC's historic win at Tukwila!LAFC and Seattle somehow found their way over the river and through the woods to Starfire Sports Complex for the U.S. Open Cup Semifinal showdown on turf! LAFC would produce one quality chance in the first half, off the foot of Kei Kamara, but 6'6" Jackson Ragen, not goalkeeper Andrew Thomas, would keep us scoreless into halftime. LAFC would continue to thwart Seattle while looking for daylight of their own. Substitute Mateusz Bogusz's shot would find the arm of Pedro de la Vega, which would set up Denis Bouanga on the penalty spot. The man doesn't miss, and, after a little luck and good defending kept Jordan Morris from equalizing, LAFC would take their place in the U.S. Open Cup Final, to be held at BMO in September against Sporting Kansas City!Also on this episode, pretty much everyone catches strays from Filly. Everyone from Carlos Vela to all of Seattle to those on social media doing anything less than backing LAFC to the fullest! He was ON FIRE. Join us over the next couple of weeks as we talk a bit about Houston, as our next home match AND our next away match feature the Dynamo! And, more importantly, enjoy Episode 323!

On Episode 322, Filly and the Scarf break down another heart-wrenching defeat in Columbus. This time, it's a 3-1 loss in the Final of the 2024 Leagues Cup. Come with us on what we hope will be a chance to get it all out while we look forward to the Open Cup Semifinal the boys play in just a few days. An awful first half turned worse in stoppage, as LAFC just couldn't get in the locker room even. A beautiful header by Cucho put the home side up at the half. The second half was much, much better for LAFC, however. Olivier Giroud got on the end of a great Bogusz set piece for his first goal in Black and Gold, and LAFC would hold the deadlock until second-half stoppage. A dangerous cross turned into a heartbreaking goal, again from Cucho, and our Leagues Cup run was over. The Crew put one more away to make it even worse cosmetically. At least LAFC secured our spot in CCC, right? And hey, for now, we've still got Kike and Bogusz! Let's all be in our feels as we get set for a trip up to Seattle, and for the chance to play for another Cup!

Episode 321, and FINALLY, Filly is back from gallivanting across Europe! It's so nice to have him back and to hear someone else's voice on the pod. And, oh-by-the-way, LAFC HAS QUALIFIED FOR THE CONCACAF CHAMPIONS CUP! Let's talk about it!With a chance at the Leagues Cup Final, and the aforementioned CCC spot, on the line, LAFC announced their presence with authority and left no doubt. Four goals, two on each side of halftime, and the incredible, Liga MX-beating run by Colorado was a thing of the past. You'd expect the first three goal scorers, for sure, with Denis Bouanga, Mateusz Bogusz, and Kei Kamara all finding the back of the net. But the exclamation point, provided as Lewis O'Brien opened his LAFC account, was definitely a pleasant surprise. Also on this episode, we discuss the Cristian Olivera to Toluca rumors. Say it ain't so, Kike! Enjoy Episode 321!

Here on Episode 320, LAFC heads up to Seattle to do exactly what we did three-plus weeks ago, beat the Sounders, 3-0. This time, a berth in the semis of the 2024 Leagues Cup is on the line. LAFC would start out hot, as Ryan Hollingshead got behind the defense and slotted home a 13' goal to get the Black and Gold rolling. A dozen minutes later, Kei Kamara turned back the hands of time yet again, this time with a beautiful right-footed, leaping volley that sent the bouncing shot over the outstretched arms of Stefan Frei and into the back of the net for a two-goal lead.Just 8 minutes after the halftime whistle, Denis Bouanga, who had missed a similar opportunity earlier in the match, got the long pass from his good buddy Hugo Lloris, and the lead was three. Hugo went nearly 14 years between career assists one and two, but barely 14 days between two and three!Also on this episode, Lewis O'Brien makes his debut, FC Cincinnati may be to blame for Kike Olivera not playing, and Filly is still in Europe. Enjoy Episode 320!

LAFC cuts off the broccoli at the stalk, taking out Austin 2-0 en route to a Round of 16 date with the Smurfs!Denis Bouanga caught Austin's back line napping with his 11th-minute goal off a superb long ball from Hugo Lloris, his first assist since 2010. After a couple of great saves by Lloris, second-half sub Kike Olivera put it in the refrigerator with a deflected strike that bounded up and over Stuver for the nail in the coffin.  Hugo would record a clean sheet, Murillo would forget he wasn't a forward, and all 12,000 were whipped into a frenzy as Olivier Giroud was shown on the Jumbotron at BMO. LAFC survives and advances in the 2024 Leagues Cup! Enjoy 318!

LAFC gets set to host Austin FC in the 2024 Leagues Cup Round of 32! Will we see Giroud make his LAFC debut?

Here on Episode 317, we are back in action at BMO, and it's more Leagues Cup action. This time, we take on a very, very familiar foe as of late, the Vancouver Whitecaps. And boy oh boy was it a roller coaster ride!LAFC simply looked awful to start the match. Down 2-0 after 20 minutes, and playing rather uninspired football, the supporters at BMO were looking for any signs of life on the pitch; the 3252 was providing all the necessary energy off of it. Cue the dramatics! LAFC would make something out of nothing, and wait until the 87th minute to do so. Denis Bouanga would find the beautiful head of Kei Kamara, and just like that, LAFC was back in it, down 2-1. With just seconds left on the clock, Sergi Palencia's cross would find David Martinez, who taes his shot from well outside the top of the box. The bouncing ball finds the head of Mateusz Bogusz, and, completely improbably, we are level!LAFC would go on to lose in penalties, but the point we earned was enough to get us into the Round of 32! Yay us! Enjoy Episode 317!

On Episode 316, we pose the following question: Can LAFC win 3-0 AND underwhelm offensively? Xolos provides little resistance in our Leagues Cup opener as Denis Bouanga continues to put up video game numbers. Goals in both the first 10 minutes and the last few minutes of the half helped LAFC put a stranglehold on the match early, and Kike Olivera's goal just after halftime sealed the deal. LAFC takes all three points and gets set to take on Vancouver on Tuesday. Also on this episode, we wave goodbye to Fall, potentially say hello to a new midfielder, and remember the first cap raise in club history. Enjoy 316!

It's Leagues Cup, and with the start of the Don Garber Money Grab comes our first Liga MX opponent of 2024, Xolos! Here on the Getting to Know: Xolos episode, we run through all of the important items you need to know heading into Leagues Cup. How does the group stage work? Is there extra time, or do we go straight to penalties? And how do we make it out of the group stage? And what about Xolos? What's their history? Who should we be looking out for? Does anyone have an LAFC connection? And what is the deal with the really cute dog on their badge? Filly and Scarf answer all these questions and more on this very special episode. Enjoy!

The US men's national soccer team got off to a disappointing, yet expected, start in their quest for Olympic glory when they lost 3-0 to France in their opening match of the group stage. Although the result was not what they wanted, there was plenty of reason to be encouraged by what the youth squad did in their first appearance in the games since 2008.Christian Polanco and Alexis Guerreros break down the entire match, including why they were successful in the first half of the game, where they need to show improvement as they head into a critical match with New Zealand on Saturday and if not getting out of the group stage would be a complete disappointment for this U-23 squad.Also on this episode of The Cooligans, the guys get into the multiple controversies that have already occurred at the Olympics including the wild ending to the Argentina-Morroco match and two members of the Canadian women's soccer team being sent home for using a drone to spy on a New Zealand practice.Christian and Alexis close the show by touching on the MLS All-Star Game that happened in Columbus, as well as commissioner Don Garber giving his state of the league address.(6:15) - USMNT loss to France in Olympics(21:20) - Importance for US to get out of their group(27:11) - Wild ending to Argentina-Morocco(36:57) - Dominican Republic's first ever Olympic match(48:08) - Canadian women's team caught spying(55:54) - MLS All-Star recap + state of league addressExclusive content:https://www.patreon.com/SoccerCooligansThis is where we put everything we shouldn't say

The Morning Footy crew react to Don Garber and his comments at the MLS All-Star presser in regard to the U.S. Open Cup and the league's "relationship" with it. Garber claims the league is trying to find a solution but many are questioning that as well as his overall intentions as he sits on the board of USSF while being commissioner of MLS. The MF group zero in on particular statements Garber made at the presser and debate how this should and could all play out, why it's happening in the first place, and who should be responsible to leading the charge to make it work.

The guys gather to discuss the hottest topics in soccer, including Don Garber's shoddy history, the Henny Derby, and a Super League hiring that has some people angry.

Episode 456: It is a story that Don Garber would like to see go away. It is an MLS story that's only competition on the global sportspages was a scampering raccoon.

After a short hiatus, the boys are back and better than ever to take on the big stories of the day in American soccer.  First, there's the news that Sergino Dest did a knee and will miss Copa America. Who will Gregg Berhalter turn to at right back for the big summer tournament? Then the boys get into Weston McKennie's contract impasse with Juventus and the other...business...that Weston seems to be up to in the north of Italy. Listener discretion advised because that spirals into a discussion about soccer terms as sex positions. Get stuck in, you know what I mean? Finally, some MLS news hits the show, namely that Don Garber and MLS seem to have blown up Indy Eleven's stadium play in Indianapolis by talk to Indy's mayor. Did MLS do some dirty shit? Or is everyone just doing what American soccer has always done?
