Warshaw and Gass called much of Generation Adidas Cup from the booth, the spoke to a lot of the coaches, and they’re brimming over with thoughts about the tournament, which saw its first ever MLS academy winner in the Champions division. I joined them on Twitch last week to talk about it all, and recorded the whole thing, and published it essentially un-edited. It’s a conversation that veers from specific player assessments to the future of U.S. soccer development and back again. Scuffed being Scuffed content. Only for the pure at heart.

Is James Sands the next Homegrown stud? Could be. Is Caleb Porter out for some revenge against Portland? You’d think, right? The biggest game of the weekend, however, comes on Sunday night, as Seattle visit LAFC. The Sounders’ Cristian Roldan calls in to talk flower planters (seriously), Seattle’s blistering form, his choice to re-sign on a TAM deal, draft-day motivation that lingers, his role with the USMNT and his best Clint Dempsey story.

"I think Jesse [Marsch] should go to sleep every night thanking God for a Bradley Wright-Phillips." - Luis Robles True statement, but is BWP the best MLS goalscorer (and perhaps player) of all-time?

Andrew and Matt talk through the New York legend's case, then cover the rest of Week 4 with a fine-toothed comb. Also in this episode ... Did Gio Savarese make the right move benching Liam Ridgewell?

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.
