David Gass, Tom Bogert, and Matt Doyle break down the Philadelphia Union reset, Portland's next chapter, and the biggest MLS storylines to watch this summer. They discuss the league's coaching landscape, Neymar and Casemiro's MLS links, LAFC's roster decisions, whether Real Salt Lake can keep Diego Luna and Xavier Gozo, and the biggest roster needs facing both New York clubs. Plus, they explain why they're buying stock in San Jose and San Diego and discuss what they need to see from the USMNT before the World Cup.0:00 Pork Roll, Taylor Ham & Soccer Culture9:01 Philadelphia Union Reset25:55 Portland Timbers Next Chapter41:04 The MLS Coaching Landscape50:14 Neymar and Casemiro to MLS?56:50 LAFC's Next Move1:01:32 Can RSL Keep Luna and Gozo?1:04:10 NYCFC's DP Spot & Red Bulls' Defense1:13:11 Buying Stock in San Jose and San Diego1:21:03 USMNT's Final Tune-Up
Can We Just Forget That Last Week Even Happened? Many MLS fans are still trying to figure out how to process a two month long break in the middle of the season. Most NYCFC fans had high expectations for this past week. A chance to advance to the semi-finals of the US Open Cup. A chance to change the narrative that the club never took the competition seriously. Pascal Jansen previously had said himself that the tournament was a great way to win a trophy. But after conceding the lone goal of the match in the 59th minute, NYCFC appeared to clean house and rest players for the next MLS match. If some NYCFC fans were not sure how to feel about the break, the last two matches will make you want to forget about the club for a while. This week Mike Anderer, Mike Allen and J.R. give their best takes on how NYCFC fell so low in such a short amount of time.

Get Well Soon, Maxi The hectic schedule for NYCFC continues. A midweek clash in Charlotte followed by a derby game on Saturday all leading up to a tough Quarterfinal coming up on Wednesday. It feels as if Jansen has the team running on fumes going into the World Cup break. This week the guys talk about the injury that saw Maxi Moralez leave the field on Saturday and the return of Malachi Jones to a more prominent role in the squad.
YEEEERRR!! We're back with a fun one as we look back at a great derby match and coming away with a result! we also give some thoughts on the unfortunate Maxi injury that may see him play his last match with us. #yktfv #nycfc

Charlotte FC finally got back to winning ways Saturday, taking down Toronto FC 3-1 at the Bank. But before that were two lackluster results – a draw with FC Cincinnati and a lackluster 1-0 loss to NYCFC. This week on the show, Matt, David and Corey spend most of their time breaking down the Toronto match but they don't overlook the issues we saw in the other two matches. Topics include: When things aren't going well, is it Dean Smith (and tactics and lineups) or is it the players?What was different about the Toronto match compared to the previous two?What needs to happen in the summer transfer window?And David compares himself Tim Ream and Ashley Westwood and shares his most recent heat map.--Want to get into our Discord to discuss all the matches this season, get access to the Secret Show and ask us questions for upcoming episodes?

In this episode, the boys celebrate another incredible week for Nashville Soccer Club. They highlight how the team notched their 100th victory, and Hany Mukhtar - in the middle of a hat trick versus LAFC - scored his 100th goal for the team. They also show much love for maybe America's greatest goalkeeper, Brian Schwake, as well as unexpected deep bench hero, Brian Acosta. And while the boys are certainly not fans of parking tickets, they aren't afraid - just like the boys in gold, who haven't feared any opponent in 2026. Cue Fleming & John from 1994! While they're doling out praise, the boys might as well shout out BJ Callaghan as the best coach in the MLS. But they aren't so sure that they love the World Cup being in the United States because it could disrupt Nashville's momentum. No worries, though, because there is still plenty of optimism as they look ahead to the upcoming match versus NYCFC. Let's just hope they don't start an OnlyFans. And they drink beer.

If you're looking for the best soccer betting picks and football predictions for this weekend, Andrew Passaro and Nick Dianni break down the biggest matches across England, Germany, and MLS. Headlining the episode is our Game of the Week — the FA Cup Final between Chelsea F.C. and Manchester City. We analyze the tactical matchup, potential game script, and whether this final sets up as a cagey battle or a high-quality attacking showcase. We also dive into key Premier League matchups including Brentford F.C. vs Crystal Palace F.C. and Leeds United vs Brighton & Hove Albion, breaking down form, tempo, and where betting value may exist. In Germany, we preview Eintracht Frankfurt vs VfB Stuttgart, a matchup with strong attacking potential and interesting market angles. Finally, we head to MLS for a rivalry clash between New York Red Bulls and New York City FC, discussing intensity, derby energy, and whether this matchup could produce goals and betting opportunities. As always, we focus on the numbers, tactical matchups, and market movement to help you find the smartest plays on the board this weekend. ⚽
The Crew drop a game on the road to a team they should have not lost to, let alone by three goals, in NYCFC. What does this team need to do to right the ship. Brett, Murph, and Sam discuss.
The Title Was Too Easy To Pick It felt like it had been 84 years since NYCFC won an MLS game. But it had only been seven regular season games and the only two victories were in the US Open Cup. Finally NYCFC broke out of their slump against a struggling Columbus Crew to slide back up the Eastern Conference table. This week Christian Smith fills in for J.R. with Mike and Mike as the three talk about Jansen’s coaching styles, the team’s response to the run of poor results and of course the hat trick by Hannes Wolf.

DC Outperforms On Marvel Day The US Open Cup victory against Red Bull on Wednesday was epic. A game for the ages with three nearly identical goals from NYCFC to defeat and eliminate their cross-river rivals. All of that elation was quickly diffused by another abysmal offensive performance by the team on Sunday afternoon in the shadows of what will soon become their home. This week the guys take a look back at where this team is under Pascal Jansen and can the results simply be due to the mass of injuries? We have audio from Malachi Jones, Pascal Jansen and Thiago Martins

Hudson River Desperation Match Pascal Jansen is losing his mojo. As the sixth NYCFC head coach following the underwhelming performances by the club under Nick Cushing, Jansen was welcomed with enthusiasm. His results also earned him favor in the locker room, and from fans and the media as well. Now after an abysmal stretch of six game where they only took 2 points with four of those games coming at home, the honeymoon is over. This week the guys are back to look at the results against FC Cincinnati and CF Montreal.

Your soccer sots spill tea on NYCFC's one point out of six in the last two matches and the miserable turn a once-promising season has taken. We chat Farnos' first-time first-team start, the baleful boys at the back line, the ghost of Martinez, judgments on Jansen, and much more. Plus: will NYCFC cost Matt Freese his USMNT glory? And: can we wrench some momentum from an equally-miserable Red Bulls at the Open Cup? Check your fanny pack at the sample sale security; you've got Blue Balls.

If we didn't get our fill from the bite taken out of The Big Apple, Cincinnati fans are getting a second mouthful right away. FC Cincinnati leaves the blue side of the Empire City, only to welcome Red Bull New York to TQL Stadium this Saturday. The Orange & Blue had their difficulties in the first leg of the matchup a few weeks ago, and the longer injury list only makes the work harder. However, RBNY has also managed to be consistent with their inconsistencies. While Cincinnati was locked in a 4-4 draw with NYCFC, Red Bull had their own high-scoring stalemate on Wednesday. What type of growing pains has new head coach Michael Bradley experienced with his young squad? We sit down with Michael from Red Bulls Nation and the new New York Soccer Journal to set up the chessboard again between Cincy and Red Bull New York. Can we expect a flurry of goals this weekend as well? Tune in and trade threads with us! #MLS #FCCincinnati #soccer Become a Patron!

It took us two tries but we recorded a Grade A episode! After some technical difficulties the boys get into the wild 4-4 draw with the Pigeon's.FCC are now down 5 center backs after Haggs, Teenage, and Powell all went off injured in this one (or in warm ups).

Charlotte’s Revenge In the 2025 MLS Cup Playoffs New York City FC went to Charlotte and achieved something they had never accomplished before, they defeated the home team, twice. Those two losses eliminated Charlotte FC from the playoffs and NYCFC would move on to face Philadelphia in the next round. This past Saturday Charlotte got their revenge. Mike Anderer, Mike Allen and J.R. diBart are back this week to look at how NYCFC dropped another home game and sit winless in four league games.

Are Arsenal F.C. doing it again? Another late-season stumble has fans questioning whether this team is truly ready to win the Premier League—or if expectations have gotten ahead of reality. We dive into the growing scrutiny on Mikel Arteta and ask the big question: if Arsenal end the season without silverware, is it time to seriously reconsider the project? Plus, we react to Liverpool F.C.'s massive Merseyside derby win over Everton F.C. and what it means for the European race. Then we're joined by NYCFC cult hero and Brooklyn FC midfielder Tommy McNamara for an unforgettable conversation. He shares stories from the early days of New York City FC, including what it was like learning from Frank Lampard, carpooling to training with Andrea Pirlo, and being part of one of the most unique locker rooms in MLS history. We also dive into his experiences playing under Bruce Arena and why he believes Arena is the greatest coach in MLS history. From veteran leadership to life after soccer, Tommy opens up about what he's learned throughout his career and what the future might hold once his playing days are over.

This week's episode hits on all the big stories in American soccer. Thomas Pinzone from The Blazing Musket podcast sits in as co-host to help Jason cover the game from post to post. We start with Matt Crocker's sudden departure as sporting director from US Soccer. Did Crocker make any headway on the big problems facing the game in the US? How will we judge his tenure? Then Jason and Thomas discuss Javier Mascherano quitting on Inter Miami seven games into a title defense season. Was there drama behind the scences? MLS went two-and-two in the quarterfinals of the CONCACAF Champions Cup against Mexican opposition. The guys get into the problems MLS faces in the CCC and the wide issues with a tournament that only two leagues can win. There's round-up of the US Open Cup action from this week with a special note for the cupsets sprung by lower division teams and some love for the SOCCER HERITAGE moments like the plethora of lines on the surface in Mount Vernon, NY for Westchester SC's match against NYCFC. Finally, Jason springs on Thomas the story of the Fernando Mendoza photo shoot that has an eerie similarity to a photo shoot featuring the 2002 USMNT. Photogs apparently can't say not to an athlete sipping from a water fountain.
