Hey, soccer fans! We just witnessed the the greatest World Cup Final EVER, and the collection of talent in Qatar 2022 left us all in a state of shock. The beautiful game of soccer (or football) is growing around the globe and here at home. In this episode we talk about the MLS' impact on a global scale. From Thiago Almada (Atlanta United) being the first active MLS player to win a World Cup, to Seattle Sounders playing at the Club World Cup, and scouting international players that should come to the States, we've got you covered.

Hey, soccer fans! Argentina is back in the FIFA World Cup Final!

After their electric 3-0 victory over Croatia in the semi-finals, the South American squad will be competing for their sixth World Cup trophy. I'm sure there will be plenty of clips and video from the 2014 final - especially showing Lionel Messi and how he looked numb after that defeat.

Despite his career and taking up the mantle as the GOAT (arguably), I caution you from supporting Argentina just because Messi deserves to win. Tune in for all the reasons why. Yes, it may seem like semantics, but I assure you it's perspective.

We take a detailed look into this Morocco squad and their fairy-tale run to see if comparing the USA is appropriate.

In the 2nd half of the show, we review the latest trades, transfers, and rumors from Major League Soccer.
