A three-panel panel of Jason Davis, Thomas Pinzone, and Jonathan Tannenwald hits The Best Soccer Show this week. The trio talk about MLS Week 2, with special focus on a few teams. Inter Miami's big win over Orlando leads to some talk about Messi and Miami as the bad guys, and the discussion also hits on the Galaxy, Red Bulls, and more. Plus, a look at Josh Sargent's arrival in Toronto and whether he can help life the Reds back into MLS elite. Thomas gives us local view on the World Cup funding issue in Foxboro and we dive into the funding issues that threaten World Cup games in Massachusetts. From there the boys launch into USMNT talk. Goalkeepers and midfielders are the the focus with Mauricio Pochettino set to call up a squad for March friendlies. If you miss Jared, he's on this week's Besties Bonus.
