A new villain in the league, the fan bases that should already be nervous, Concacaf Champions League chat, and much more from MLS Week 2
Taylor is joined by David Gass and Joe Lowery to take a long look back at Week 2 in MLS, and a quick look ahead to the start of the 2023 Concacaf Champions League campaign. We spend the opening portion of the show discussing how we all go about watching as many games as possible, before turning our collective attention to St. Louis' home-opener victory over Charlotte. Then we spend some time with teams who have started slowly (Charlotte, Houston, and SKC), and with teams that simply just started their season (Galaxy, LAFC, and Chicago). Plus, positivity for San Jose, Inter Miami, Dallas, and Columbus, and enthusiasm for the start of the CCL!-JOIN THE TSS+ PATREON!Check out our brand-new Patreon, which houses bonus podcasts, access to our exclusive Discord, blog posts, videos, and much more.Become a member today at patreon.com/totalsoccershow!
