Total Soccer Show: USMNT, Champions League, EPL, and more ...

Paul and Sam discuss some recent transfers out of MLS, as well as news updates on league leaders, struggling performers, and hot seat coaches.

3:26 - MLS continues to sell players, and that’s not a bad thing! Getting into the details involved in Reggie Cannon’s transfer and why the move itself makes a whole of sense. Plus, Lyle the Dog chimes in to support Sam’s arguments, and discuss Zack Steffen’s situation at Manchester City.

24:23- San Jose Earthquakes still don’t have a good enough roster, and the results are making that crystal clear. Where the gaps in their approach are most obvious, the names who should take responsibility for the state of the team, and why (according to Paul) Matías Almeyda is an evil genius.

38:10 - Additional thoughts on the season so far, including praise for Columbus’ roster build, creating Orlando City Stan accounts, Chicharito’s disappointing start, and much much more!
