Total Soccer Show: USMNT, Champions League, EPL, and more ...
Copa America: Panama v USMNT deep-dive review and analysis
•
No spoilers in the title even if everyone almost certainly already knows what happened...
The USA's second game of the 2024 Copa America went about as disastrously as possible, with a deserved first half red card for Tim Weah turning the match on its head. But could they have done more, despite being a man down? Did Berhalter get his changes right? What does this mean for the USA's future at this tournament, and for Berhalter's future after it? We answer those questions, and many many more... and try not to just resort to just cursing or crying. It was a difficult task.

39:19|We're once again sorting through your hot takes! We're discussing whether MLS should ditch the idea of a sprint season and instead use an 18-month bridge to a true fall-to-spring calendar, the case for the United States hosting AFCON as World Cup prep for both sides, and how the unique ecosystem of MLS may actually complicate the transition for coaches moving to Europe. We’ll also debate whether the Europa League and Conference League are simply more fun than the Champions League thanks to chaos, atmospheres, and underdogs, before closing with a bold striker take — that Kai Havertz will outscore Viktor Gyökeres this season.WATCH TSS EPISODES ON YOUTUBE!We're posting all our episodes here!
