Joining the best team in the world are the Czech Republic, New Zealand, and Iceland. We discuss the tournament and how it's a good thing to switch it up this year and play some unfamiliar teams.

Is Gregg Berhalter doing enough to put this team in a position to win? Does this tournament even matter to US Soccer? Injuries are unfortunately front and center for the squad and the guys debate their replacements on the current squad and who could be called up. Plus, who's stock has risen or fallen from the Gold Cup - James Sands has emerged as a reliable player in the back for Berhalter and the US in the group stage. Finally, Atlanta United have sacked Gabriel Heinze after reports of him withholding water from the team, players picking up eating disorders and Josef Martinez refusing to train with the manager. Is Carlos Bocanegra (who Jared played against in HS) on the hot seat now? Support The Best Soccer Show on Patreon: https://bit.ly/360mTM6

After a promising start to the year in Concacaf Champions League, New York City FC has dropped its first two matches in Major League Soccer. In the latest installment of the "Soccer in the City" podcast, the boys review the 1-0 defeat at Toronto and also look ahead to the CCL quarterfinal at Red Bull Arena on Wednesday. Also, the guys take a close look at the performance of the Philadelphia Union in their 3-3 draw at LAFC on Sunday night. One of the more thrilling MLS games you'll see that didn't end until after 1 a.m. Eastern. At halftime of that broadcast, former New York City FC coach Jason Kreis announced his 20-player roster for Olympic qualifying. That group did not include NYCFC midfielders James Sands and Keaton Parks.

Who played, who played well, and who has a future with the USMNT? Freed from the constraints of things like “producers” and “brevity” and  “Andrew Wiebe,” MLSsoccer.com analyst Matt Doyle joins the pod to go long on the young American player pool in the domestic league. We look back at 2019 and look ahead to 2020.(Yo! We forgot to mention Gianluca Busio! Major omission. Interesting young player at Sporting KC. My mistake for not having him on the list. I’d put him in the “who knows” category, for what it’s worth.)0:30 Intro, etc.7:45 Reggie Cannon11:20 Jackson Yueill17:30 Brenden Aaronson21:40 Miles Robinson25:00 Paxton Pomykal32:55 can Ebobisse, Toye or Pepi be a top MLS striker in 2020?41:15 will any young wingers break through?

This week we preview the MLS Cup Final between the Seattle Sounders and Toronto FC with a pair of coaches who are generally underrated - yet are now facing each other for the third time in four years for the title. Also, a look at the USMNT as they prepare for their next Nations League matches while the USWNT begins an new era under coach Vlatko Andonovic with Carli Lloyd making a strong statement in front of her new coach. Jason Kreis selects NYCFC back/midfielder James Sands for the U23’s - but is Kreis also talking to Real Salt Lake at the same time, and is that a conflict?

The boys review Decision Day and what it meant for New York City FC. While City welcomed James Sands and Anton Tinnerholm back to the lineup, both Heber and Ismael Tabour-Shradi sustained injuries that leaves a question about their availability for the Eastern Conference semifinal. We also take a close look at the opening round games in the Eastern Conference, especially Toronto FC - D.C. United. The winner of that match takes on NYCFC on October 23rd at either Yankee Stadium or Citi Field.

Pro Soccer USA's Glenn Crooks sits down with former New York City FC winger Jonathan Lewis after City defeated the Colorado Rapids on Saturday. You'll hear James Sands after Tuesday's training session talking about his return to the lineup. Also, the voice of the USL, Mike Watts.

Tom Kolker, Roberto Abramowitz, Glenn Crooks and John Rojas talk about whether the break in New York City FC's schedule was good for the team or bad considering its seven-game unbeaten streak following the 2-0 win in LA over the Galaxy two weekends ago.  The guys also provide a detailed preview of Saturday’s road match against the Chicago Fire. Also, why is James Sands not on either the U20, U23 or full USMNT rosters for competitions this summer? 

The Athletic’s Sam Stejskal joins the Andrew, Doyle and Susannah to bounce around Major League Soccer ahead of Week 8. First up, a very MLS-y midweek win for the Whitecaps, who might not have the results but are starting to show signs of life. The crew also explains why Friday’s UniMas game is a test for both the Galaxy and Dynamo, then wonders when Alberth Elis might be sold. Are Atlanta United making progress? Hard to tell. 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. In the mailbag, in honor of the Thierry Henry-to-Red Bulls rumors, the crew unearth former Designated Players they’d like to see become MLS head coaches, for all manner of reasons, good and bad. 1:08 – Good riddance, Sam Stejskal (just kidding, we love you) 3:30 – How the Whitecaps got a very MLS-y win vs. LAFC 8:34 – Big test for both the Galaxy and the Dynamo on Friday 14:48 – When should the Dynamo sell Alberth Elis? 16:55 – Are Atlanta United back on the right track? 20:09 – James Sands appreciation hour, thanks to NYCFC fans 23:56 – Revenge game for Caleb Porter … DP rumors for the Timbers 26:46 – INTERVIEW: Cristian Roldan on Sounders, USMNT, best Dempsey story 46:24 – Bobby and David check in from the GA Cup 55:44 – Henry to the Red Bulls?
