We were recently joined on the Modern Soccer Coach Podcast by Oly Town FC head coach, Liviu Bird, to discuss the implementation of Game Models. The focus of the discussion is around the complexity of a model and how best to implement it when a season is condensed, like perhaps a summer development league or a college season. In the interview, Liviu gave his insights on the following areas: - What is the first step towards planning a Game Model? - What separates one Game Model from another? - Where do coaches make mistakes communicating their Game Model? - How do you judge the success of a Game Model after a game? And Much More!!!! You can get your copy of Liviu's game model examples below...

This week's Planet Futbol Podcast comes to you from Baltimore, the site of the 2016 MLS SuperDraft and the NSCAA convention. SI senior writer Grant Wahl and SI.com's Brian Straus, Liviu Bird, and Alex Abnos were all in town for the event, and together they'll give you a sense of what the mood is like at the biggest gathering of soccer people in the country. First, Grant Wahl sits down for a chat with MLS Commissioner Don Garber on the eve of the league's 21st season. In the talk, Garber discusses the importance of the SuperDraft, potential cities for MLS' next round of expansion, and what the league thinks of Dider Drogba's supposed flirtation with a return to Chelsea.

U.S. men's soccer teams endured a rough week, with the senior squad falling to Mexico in the CONCACAF Cup and U-23s failing to qualify automatically for the Olympics. The debacles provide plenty of fodder for the new Planet Fútbol Podcast, in which SI's Avi Creditor (twitter.com/acreditor), Grant Wahl (twitter.com/grantwahl) and Liviu Bird (twitter.com/liviubird) wrap up the performances and provide some perspective for a frustrating October international fixture window for American soccer. It's not all doom and gloom, though. North of the border, Toronto FC has secured its first playoff berth, and we pay tribute to the Reds (most notably the spectacular Sebastian Giovinco) and their drought coming to an end. We close with some EPL manager talk, with "The Special One," Jose Mourinho, under constant fire, while "The Normal One," Jurgen Klopp, gets set for his first match on the Liverpool sidelines. == -- ThePlanet Futbol Podcast is brought you by the SeatGeek app, available in app stores and at http://seatgeek.com.

The Planet Fútbol Podcast welcomes another esteemed guest this week, as SI Senior Writer (and this episode's host) Grant Wahl (twitter.com/grantwahl) speaks by phone with Petr Cech, the Czech goalkeeper who recently made the switch to Arsenal after 11 seasons at Chelsea. In the interview, Cech discussed what it takes to be a world-class goalkeeper, where he thinks the future of the position lies, and what his favorite song is to drum along to. The podcast then welcomes SI.com's Brian Straus to the fold with his observations from a thrilling night in Chester, Pennsylvania, where Sporting Kansas City captured its third U.S. Open Cup title with a PK shootout win over the Philadelphia Union on Wednesday night. Wahl and Straus also discuss why English Premier League teams are having such a tough time in the Champions League, rummage through the multitude of options the U.S. men's national team has at center back ahead of the team's crucial tilt against Mexico, and whether qualifying for the Olympics really matters as the U.S. U-23 team attempts to do just that later this week. Finally, SI contributor Liviu Bird (twitter.com/liviubird) checks in from the left coast along with Laura Harvey, coach of the NWSL's Seattle Reign. The two discuss the Reign's sustained success in the fledgling league, preaching posession with a purpose, and why there are still so many male coaches at the uppermost levels of the women's game.
