That’s So MLS

One Goal Over The Line

Nick and Bates talk the week's MLS games, including a goal that wasn't, the LA Galaxy rout of Kansas City, what defenders should be asking for in the next CBA and a walkout in Seattle.

Red Card Souvenir

Nick and Bates talk all the games on a lighter international break week, NWSL, Canada's Nations League swing against Cuba, MLS' one-sided "debate" and who we'd be excited to see in the MLS playoffs.

Toyeing with LAFC

It wouldn't be MLS without some unlikely heroes and this week it's none other than: Colorado and Minnesota?! We also dissect the ongoing saga that is MLS fighting supporters on what exactly a fascist is. After we recorded, the Whitecaps responded that they didn't "mean" to ban a supporter, simply to warn them. We're not buying it.

Return to Hurtado Island

Nick and Bates talk away trips to Montreal, the Whitecaps' record-setting performance in a loss to San Jose, a blowaway El Trafico and not fighting your own fans, as well as a starmaking display in Kansas City.

Oh Look! An Expansion Side!

What would the tail end of the MLS season be without the announcement of another club?! We talk about the news from St. Louis, some reorganization at the Whitecaps, and of course all the games and news from the game week.

Giving Fascists the Red Card

There was some great footy this week but unfortunately supporters had to reckon with getting tossed out of stadiums, receiving bans, and having their belongings confiscated, all because the league can't decide how it feels about supporting fascists, Nazis, and violent thugs. We do talk about the golazos, the continued dominance of some familiar faces, and the firing of two MLS coaches, one who couldn't keep from blowing his lid and the other because he lost to Philadelphia?

Nine is Not Enough

Andrew and Nick talk Alejandro Bedoya's call to end gun violence, DC's busy transfer day and a goal-filled *checks notes* Colorado Rapids game?

Plague Season

Nick, back from international duty, and Bates tackle the newest calamity plaguing the Rapids, Whitecaps getting a point, the All-Star Game and the post-World Cup NWSL bump.
