Introduction: As the dust settles on the tumultuous 2025 season for St. Louis City SC, fans and analysts alike find themselves reflecting on a year filled with disappointment and missed opportunities. From high expectations to a disheartening finish, this season review delves into the highs and lows that defined the team's performance, offering insights into what went wrong and what lies ahead.Main Content:1. The Season Overview: The 2025 season for St. Louis City SC was marked by a sense of hopelessness. As the hosts of the Mecca of Banter podcast discussed, the vibe can be summed up in two words: "hopelessly lost." With a lack of direction from the management and an underwhelming roster, fans were left wondering how the team could recover. The season concluded with a disappointing record of eight wins, eight draws, and 18 losses, placing the team 13th in the Western Conference.2. Key Issues: The podcast highlighted several critical issues that contributed to the team's struggles. One major point was the leadership and direction—or lack thereof—provided by the coaching staff. The team transitioned from an interim manager to hiring Olaf Melberg, who was expected to bring defensive stability. However, the results did not match expectations, with the team leaking goals and lacking a cohesive identity. The hosts lamented the team's failure to build on the momentum from the previous season and expressed frustration with the management's decisions.3. Player Performance: Despite the overall disappointing season, there were a few bright spots. Marcel Hartle emerged as a key player, stepping up in the absence of others and proving his worth on the field. He not only displayed leadership qualities but also scored some impressive goals, raising hopes for his future contributions. Additionally, the performance of goalkeeper Berkey was noted, as he continued to be a reliable presence for the team.4. The Honeymoon Phase is Over: The hosts noted that the initial excitement and optimism surrounding St. Louis City SC have faded, with the metaphorical "honeymoon phase" coming to an abrupt end. Fans who once felt invincible after a promising first season now face the reality of a struggling team. The discussion pointed to the need for a renewed focus on building a competitive squad that can reclaim the enthusiasm of the fan base.5. Looking Ahead: As the podcast concluded, the hosts expressed cautious hope for the future. They emphasized the importance of learning from the mistakes of the 2025 season and rebuilding for the upcoming year. The need for a solid strategy in player acquisition and management was underscored, as the team must not only improve its roster but also restore the confidence of its supporters.Conclusion: The 2025 season for St. Louis City SC serves as a stark reminder of the challenges in professional sports. With a combination of poor management decisions, underwhelming player performances, and a loss of identity, the team found itself in a difficult position. However, with a clear plan and the right adjustments, there is still hope for a brighter future. Fans will be watching closely as the organization looks to rebuild and reclaim its place in the competitive landscape of Major League Soccer. Key Takeaways:- The 2025 season was marked by disappointment and a lack of direction.- Key players like Marcel Hartle showed promise despite overall team struggles.- The honeymoon phase for fans is over, highlighting the need for change.- A clear strategy for the future will be essential for rebuilding the team's competitive edge.Tags for SEO: St. Louis City SC, MLS, 2025 season review, soccer analysis, team performance, sports management, Major League Soccer, St. Louis sports, soccer podcast, fan engagement.

We're back with another AFTN Soccer Show packed full of Vancouver Whitecaps, Major League Soccer, and World Cup chat and interviews. The long wait is almost over for the big MLS Western Conference semi-final between the Whitecaps and LAFC. We set the scene for the match-up and hear thoughts from Whitecaps coach Jesper Sorensen, Whitecaps centre-back Tristan Blackmon, MLS studio analyst Dax McCarty, and MLS match analyst Maurice Edu about the game and the playoff rivalry. We also sit down for a chat with a man who's been through these games for the last two years and is back fit and ready to go in this one, Whitecaps striker Brian White. Our feature interview this episode is with Whitecaps club reporter Sarita Patel. We chat with Sarita about her broadcasting journey so far, her time in Vancouver, and the wild year that 2025 has been, with hopefully more to come! In a monumental week for the league, we look at the MLS schedule change, the move to a fall to spring season, and the changes to MLS' Apple TV deal. Plus we talk World Cup 2026 qualifiers, more anger-inducing ticket releases, and Canada crashing out of the U17 World Cup in an epic, but ugly, penalty shootout. Music-wise, Camper van Beethoven continue their residency as our Album of the Month, we've two Britpop songs from Powder and Soda, and a Siberian post punk techno band feature in Wavelength.

The group jokes about aliens, mental shielding, and Guy's emergency hat deployment skills before shifting into the week's Apple news. They begin with VisionOS 26.2 Beta, noting incremental improvements such as fixes for stylus pressure, stability updates, and lingering bugs in AirDrop visibility, SharePlay DRM playback, and subscription syncing. The panel agrees the update feels like a tightening pass while everyone waits for the next major feature drop. Apple's newest immersive video, "Flight Ready," filmed with Navy F-18s, sparks lively discussion. The group praises the cinematic quality—especially nighttime carrier deck landings and aerial shots—but several mention Apple's signature issue with immersive content: the feeling that "people are way too close to your face." The panel also highlights the increasing amount of third-party immersive Vision Pro content, including music videos, training simulations, and niche experiences created in tools like DaVinci Resolve, signaling that spatial content creation is slowly becoming more accessible. Eric shares his in-store test of the Vision Pro M5, where he focused on widgets, Safari multitasking, virtual displays, and system responsiveness. He intentionally pushed the device hard to see if it stutters—and it didn't. Dave walks through updates in iOS/iPadOS/watchOS/tvOS 26.2 betas, pointing out UI refinements such as expanded Liquid Glass styling, an improved Alarm interface, app sorting options in Game Library, and message-pinning in CarPlay. CarPlay itself becomes a heated topic—Dave explains how answering a call sometimes instantly hangs up afterward. Marty expresses frustration over automotive UI "reactions" in group chats while driving. The general consensus: CarPlay is great… except when it isn't. The group digs into macOS 26.2 (Tahoe) with mixed reactions. While some see improvements, Jeff notes memory issues and audio stack quirks still need addressing. 1Password's new behavior—unlocking automatically after system login—splits the panel. Some appreciate fewer prompts, while others insist on strict manual unlocking for security. A retrospective on five years of Apple's M-series chips follows. Marty mentions real-world benefits moving from M4 to M5, Jeff feels his M2 Pro is still strong, Dave says his M4 Pro Mac mini is now his main machine, and Guy jokes that old Intel Macs were basically "space heaters with keyboards."

Chris Armas is a 2025 inductee into the US Soccer Hall of Fame. During his playing career, he played 12 seasons in Major League Soccer for the LA Galaxy and Chicago Fire, and was a 5x MLS Best XI selection, an MLS and US Open Cup Champion, and played 66 games for the US National Team. The 2000 US Soccer Player of the Year and 2005 MLS Comeback Player of the Year, untimely injuries derailed his inclusion in the 2002 and 2006 US World Cup teams. After retireing from playing, Chris began a coaching career that has taken him to assistant coach roles at Manchester United and Leeds United, as well as MLS Head Coaching stops with the NY Red Bulls (2018 Supporters Shield winners), Toronto FC, and in 2024-2025 the Colorado Rapids. In 2024, he led the Rapids to a remarkable improvement of 23 points, finishing 7th after finishing dead last in 2023. For this he was named an MLSCoach of the Year finalist. In 2025, the Rapids missed out on the playoffs on the final day, and Armas and the Rapids agreed to part ways. In our conversation today, Chris and John discuss the importance of building strong relationships with athletes, establishing trust, and helping each player get better. We discuss his time in England, meeting Sir Alex Ferguson, the British press, and his time in Colorado including the the joys of 2024 and the heartbreak of missing out on the 2025 players due to a stoppage time goal. You will see that Chris is humble, authentic, and driven to keep coaching and learning, and its a wonderful conversation to understand the humanity needed to coach at the top level.  BOOK A SPEAKER: Interested in having John or one of our speaking team come to your school, club or coaching event?

We're back with another AFTN Soccer Show packed full of Vancouver Whitecaps, Major League Soccer, and Canadian Premier League chat, and it's a landmark episode - our 700th one for the main show, the longest running soccer podcast in Canada. To mark it, we've a lot of talk about Vancouver Whitecaps' future - particularly when it comes to issues around their current and potentially new stadiums. MLS Commissioner Don Garber was in town last week. We bring you his media roundtable in full and chat about the main talking points coming out of it as it was confirmed that the Whitecaps haven't signed a lease to play at BC Place next year and they won't be unless they get a better deal. The MLS conference semi-finals are all set after a wild weekend wrapped up the first round of playoff matches. We look at how they played out and have an initial look ahead to Whitecaps vs LAFC. The CPL also wrapped up this weekend and the North Star Cup final was played in whiteout conditions in Ottawa. The scenes went around the world, but should the game have gone ahead and will the league see any actual long-term benefit from all the virality or was it just an in-the-moment buzz? Has this turned people on to watch and attend the league next year? Plus we look at the CPL awards that were handed out for the season. Music-wise, Camper van Beethoven begin their residency as our Album of the Month, we've two Britpop songs from Blur and Gorky's Zygotic Mynci, and Halftime Oranges are back in Wavelength. Here's the rundown for the main segments from the episode: 01.28: Intro - landmark episodes, college soccer, Rise move on to final 16.55: MLS conference semi-finals set after wild weekend 60.20: Don Garber Vancouver media roundtable 99.15: The future of Vancouver Whitecaps and the club's stadium issues 132.45: Snowy CPL final goes viral, but will the league see a real benefit? 156.10: CPL award winners announced 166.45: Wavelength - Halftime Oranges - Theme From Orange
