On today's episode, Ryan is joined by Graham. Joe and Taylor to answer some particularly wonderful listener questions:1) If Liga MX and MLS merged into one league with two divisions and promotion/relegation, who would win, who would be the MVP, and what other fun possibilities might there be?2) Does Gareth Bale playing in MLS benefit the USMNT or Wales more?3) Why haven't more clubs made an effort to sign John Brooks and who are some other notable free agents?4) Of the 32 teams in the Qatar WC, which one winning it all would be an equivalent shock to Greece winning the Euros in 2004?5) Are there any comparisons currently, or throughout history, to what Barcelona are doing to stay financially solvent?6) What can we do to help MLS add the net microphone that makes that sweet, sweet sound when a goal is scored?7) Will TSS preview the US Open Cup Final?8) Can all the problems with the England men's team actually be blamed on Ryan Bailey? (the answer is yes)Sponsors! Welcome to Wrexham! We are supported by FX’s Welcome to Wrexham, which premieres August 24th on FX and will be available to stream on Hulu!Roman!
