We zijn terug, en hoe! We trappen het nieuwe seizoen van Grof Geld af met een aflevering vanuit Miami. Want wat betekent het eigenlijk voor een club en stad als de allerbeste voetballer ooit bij je komt spelen? Dat gaan we onderzoeken in deze aflevering. We dompelen ons helemaal onder in de Messi Mania, met als hoogtepunt (of, spoileralert, dieptepunt) de beslissingswedstrijd in de achtste finale van de play-offs om het kampioenschap tegen Atlanta. We keuren de merchandise, vergapen ons aan de Messi murals en spreken met een Atlanta-fan die aan het juichen was voor Messi. Verder spreken we met een oude bekende én gaan we voor Kos op jacht naar zijn favoriete Inter Miami shirt. Zo proberen we een antwoord te vinden op een vraag die ons al langer bezighoudt: is de komst van Messi naar Inter eigenlijk wel zo'n goed idee?

The football keeps coming and so do the podcasts! The Whitecaps' two games a week schedule saw them come away with nothing in Colorado, in a game in which they should have gotten something, and then with a point in Seattle, in a game in which they didn't really deserve anything.

We pick over the bones of both of those matches, look at what they've taught us about the current state of the 'Caps, round up the latest action across MLS, and look ahead to the circus coming to town this weekend - aka Lionel Messi and his Miami maestros. Before that Miami game there's the small matter of the Canadian Championship and a quarter-final second leg clash with Cavalry FC. We chat about that, hear from Cavs' head coach Tommy Wheeldon Jr, and chat about Vancouver FC first away win of the season in the CPL. Plus there's a new sheriff in town as Canada Soccer appoint Jesse Marsch as the new Canadian men's national team coach. Was it the right appointment, what does it mean to the program, and how about that funding of the position by the three Canadian MLS clubs? We chat about all of that and more.
