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

We review the MLS All-Stars vs Atletico Madrid, and then answer five listener questions: 1. Where did the term “soccer” come from? 2. What's the benefit of having 2 transfer windows as opposed to just one transfer deadline (like other sports)? 3. Would you rather manage a top club team or a top international team and why? 4. What advice do you have for someone trying to start a new female soccer podcast focusing on the NWSL? 5. Is MLS actually a detriment to the development of American players?

We sit down with Alexi Lalas to talk about how we'd improve the MLS All-Star Skills Challenge and how he prepares for a broadcast. Alexi also joins us in answering some listener questions: 1. If you could re-write history and manage a disappointing USMNT (e.g. 1998, 2006, 2018) which team would it be and what would you do differently? 2. What do you make of Zlatan's comments about MLS teams not spending money? 3. How did this seemingly giant gap between the USA and Mexico national teams arise? 4. What are those bumps on players backs? Today's show is sponsored by Dollar Shave Club.
