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

With the European Super League now appearing to be dead in the water, Adam Snavely joins Taylor to discuss where things stand and how we got to this point. Plus, we try to get to the bottom of some big questions, like why did the owners ever think this would ever go well, what will happen next, how severe will any potential punishments be, what might this mean for MLS, the possibility that this was all a ploy, and much much more. Plus, we break down the new Champions League format that was agreed earlier in the week, and the USA's group at the Olympics this summer.Sponsors! SoFi!

Ryan, Taylor and Graham are here to discuss the weekend’s best action—and the story that could redefine the sport: the announcement of the breakaway European Super League.- The European Super League! A fundamental and seismic change to the sport at its highest level might be on the cards, with the announcement of a breakaway league. What does this mean for the teams involved, the players, and the sporting integrity of the beautiful game as a whole?- Jose Mourinho! The Special One was given his marching orders on Monday, a matter of days before the League Cup Final. Seems harsh, but there's a (cynical) reason for the timing...- Chelsea vs. Man City: The FA Cup! How quaint! We look at how Tommy Tuchel got the better of Pep Guardiola at Wembley!- Barcelona vs. Athletic Club: Lionel Messi got his hands on the (massive) Cope Del Rey trophy once again, at poor Bilbao's expense.- Inter Miami vs. LA Galaxy: The pick of the MLS litter on opening weekend was a thoroughly enjoyable affair in Fort Lauderdale!Sponsors! SoFi!
