  • Will Promotion/Relegation Work In US Soccer?

    Will Promotion/Relegation Work In US Soccer?
    Mar 16 2026
    Promotion and relegation is one of the biggest things missing from American soccer, but could that finally be changing? On this episode, we break down whether promotion/relegation can actually work in the US, why it has become the standard around the world, how USL plans to implement it, and whether MLS would ever seriously consider joining in. From the financial risks to the possible upside for clubs, players, and fans, we debate if pro/rel would bring more legitimacy and excitement to the American game or create even more instability. Do you think promotion/relegation would work in the US? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

  • Is Bottling in Football REAL?

    Is Bottling in Football REAL?
    Mar 3 2026
    Is bottling in football real or is it just a word analysis people throw around whenever a team drops points in a title race? We break down what the term really means, whether it applies more to league races than trophies, and some of the biggest collapses football has ever seen, from Newcastle in 1996 to Arsenal in 2022/23 and more. We also get into what actually causes teams to bottle: pressure, inexperience, injuries, psychology, leadership, and whether those traits can be taught or if some teams just have that killer instinct. Let us know in the comments, do you still think bottling in football is real?

  • Is MLS Actually GOOD?

    Is MLS Actually GOOD?
    Feb 23 2026
    MLS season is underway, which means it's time for our Rondo guys to get excited about American soccer again. To be honest, they missed it quite a bit. So, to kick things off, we decided to ask one big fat question: Is MLS actually good? Sure, Lionel Messi plays here and teams are now valued at nearly $1.5 BILLION. But does anyone want to watch the product on the pitch? Should they care? And, most importantly, is this a RETIREMENT LEAGUE?Raheemovic, Corbin Mills, and Tom Hindle break down the league shortly after its 31st birthday as it moves from startup to major player in the soccer world.
