Total Soccer Show: USMNT, Champions League, EPL, and more ...
Listener Questions returns! How does Vlatko stack up against previous USWNT coaches, how is Inter Miami able to spend what they are, League Cup impressions, and more!
On today's episode, it's the return of Listener Questions, and we have a lot to catch up on. (So much so that we only got through about two-thirds of the questions, so more LQ episodes to come in the near future!) For now...
1) How badly does Vlatko’s reign as USWNT coach stack up to all previous USWNT coaches?
2) How is Miami able to spend the way they are, given league spending caps?
3) Do you think this iteration of the League’s Cup between MLS and Liga MX has been successful? What changes would be useful going forward?
4) If MLS decided to expand to 40 clubs (20 in the east and 20 in the west), which cities would we give franchises to and would this improve the overall quality of the league?
