D.C. United has played a game for the first time since March, and Filibuster is here to talk about.

We also talk about what we want to see given the performances in the game, and look through the scraps of an utterly awful first half. In the second segment, we break down this Friday's game against the New England Revolution. Give it a listen! 0:00 Intro 12:09 D.C. United versus TFC 55:33 D.C.

D.C. United came back to draw against the Houston Dynamo, and Filibuster comes back to break it all down. Jason, Adam, and Ben talk (8:32) first about the special place that is the Maryland SoccerPlex and try to first concentrate on the good, so we talk about the second half and Joseph Mora.

Esta semana tenemos un episodio de lujo porque tuve la oportunidad de sentarme a charlar con el mediocampista ofensivo de Columbus Crew SC, Federico Higuaín. Federico es argentino y después de jugar en Argentina, México y Turquía, llegó a Columbus a mediados de 2012 donde se ha vuelto un icono del Columbus Crew. En nuestra charla, Federico hablamos de su relación con el fútbol desde muy pequeño y cómo ha evolucionado a través del tiempo, los cambios en la liga desde su llegada y de las formas en que se vive el fútbol en los distintos países donde ha tenido la oportunidad de jugar. Federico es un hombre mesurado e introspectivo que no habla por hablar. Normalmente no da muchas entrevistas lo que hace a este episodio aún más especial.

Well that was another poor performance from D.C. United, but the guys from Filibuster are here to talk you through it. We talk about the game against New York City FC and start with some praise for Ian Harkes before diving into everything that went wrong. We talk about the midfield, the goals, and Steve Birnbaum and Sean Franklin. We also have to talk about the defensive midfield position, and the attack for good measure. We then bring on Kris Landis of Massive Report to give us the update on Columbus Crew SC. We talk about what has been missing from Gregg Berhalter's cookbook so far this season and the issues with Wil Trapp that reflect the issues with their gameplan. We talk about Zack Steffen and whether Federico Higuain's frustrations are a problem, Harrison Afful get subbed out at halftime, and his opposite number at fullback. Finally, we talk about their central midfield, the utility of Adam Jahn, and how to gameplan the Crew. Give it a listen!
Ben is too busy smoking delicious foodstuffs on his grill to join the podcast, so it is just Jason and Adam for the first of two episodes this week. First, the pair break down D.C. United's satisfying 4-1 victory over Orlando City SC, including discussing Taylor Kemp's great game, United playing direct and attacking without going Route 1, and how different this team is than the D.C. United of June. They also talk about Julian Buescher stepping in for Marcelo Sarvas as well as Nick DeLeon's debut at right back. In the second segment, Jason and Adam discuss United's attempt to get their first back-to-back wins this year against Columbus Crew SC. Jason breaks down what is going right for Crew SC with their two straight wins coming into Wednesday's game, and they discuss what was going wrong for them before that. They talk about who will play the #10 spot with Federico Higuain injured, ponder whether Crew SC's style has evolved in the past two year, and end by trying to pinpoint their weakness and find a way that United can exploit it. Give it a listen!
The Reds drop points again at home, only able to get a point through a scoreless 0-0 draw with rivals, the Columbus Crew. TFC had their chances, especially by way of dynamo DP Giovinco, but he was not clinical in finishing. Clint Irwin was up to the task at the other end of the pitch, keeping the likes of Federico Higuain and Justin Meram in check to preserve the point. With the Copas looming the loss of Michael Bradley will be huge, but also presents an opportunity for other players to step up and claim their position with the club.
Au menu de cette neuvième émission: On revient sur le différend entre Kei Kamara et Federico Higuain qui s'est produit en fin de semaine dernière lors du match entre Columbus et Montréal: -L'Impact doit-il tenter d'obtenir Kei Kamara? -Federico Higuain n'est-il pas une option plus intéressante pour le onze montréalais? -Quels sont les autres clubs de la MLS qui pourraient obtenir les services de Kamara? -Columbus aurait cherché à obtenir les services de l'attaquant ghanéen Emmanuel Banahene qui évolue en Égypte pour remplacer Kamara, bien avant l'algarade entre lui et Higuain. Est-ce que son salaire de DP et son nouveau contrat s'avèrent des contraintes pour la direction du Crew? L'actualité footballistique africaine de la semaine: -La Fédération béninoise de football a été suspendu par la FIFA, ce qui met en danger sa possible participation à la CAN 2017 alors que le Bénin va bien en qualifications. -Qui a remporté le prix Marc-Vivien Foé du meilleur joueur africain de Ligue 1? -On revient rapidement sur les décès de Patrick Ebeng et de Jeanine Christelle Djomnang.

With Andrew on the road and David in Mexico, the guys get together late Sunday night to put a bow on the weekend. Kei Kamara and Federico Higuain certainly weren’t exchanging gifts after a contentious draw that saw Columbus Crew SC’s Designated Players fight over a penalty kick (then air grievances in the media). Sporting KC’s Peter Vermes used the media to challenge his team after another loss, Toronto opened the new BMO Field in style, Jordan Morris can’t stop scoring and the Rapids (!!) are first in the West and the Supporters’ Shield standings. On Friday, LAFC got the go ahead on their sparkling stadium in South Los Angeles. To celebrate, club president and co-owner Tom Penn joined Andrew to give the lowdown on the design and the future of the club on and off the field. The mailbag begins with a Mother’s Day story then the guys mull Cyle Larin’s future and Frank Lampard’s legacy (so far) with New York City FC.
MLS Cup Preview Edition: We talk to Portland Timbers midfielder Diego Valeri about his playoff beard, trash talking with Federico Higuain, craft beer drinker and MLS Cup. In the second segment, CSN-Washington anchor and reporter Sebastian Salazar joins us to breakdown MLS Cup. Don't miss this one!
Toronto FC once again miss out on glory as a Federico Higuain brace sinks the Reds who've only lifted the trophy once in seven years. It was a disappointing performance considering the displays of the last month and few players stood out, most notably Joe Bendik who was called on time and time again to keep the score respectable. The arrival of Maximiliano Urruti did not open a floodgate of goals as TFC's offensive approach is still conservative and timid at best. It will take much more than a few South American signings to get Toronto's attack looking anything dangerous through the rest of the season.
Federico Higuain, Wil Trapp and MLS Commissioner Don Garber join the program to talk Crew vs. RBNY and the MLS Business Summit returning to Columbus in September.
On the season finale episode, Neil and Duncan check-in with Crew legend Brian McBride and Crew midfielder Federico Higuain on his first season with the Black & Gold.
