Waiting for Messi, Leagues Cup Excitement, USWNT Start World Cup Jul 21, 2023

Show notes

The boys do the Thursday night thing ahead of Lionel Messi's debut for Inter Miami and the start of the World Cup for the USWNT.

Jason and Jared debate the value of the weird new competition that is stopping MLS for a month, the Leagues Cup (spoiler: Jared thinks it's trash and Nick's not big on it either).

Note about the audio quality: It's a little rougher than usual because Jason is in Puerto Rico visiting La Familia. Don't worry, the content is still top-notch.

New Interim Manager, Nations League Roster, U20s, #KleinOut Jun 02, 2023

Show notes

Jason, Jared, and Nicky Soup & Sausage are back with a new edition of The Best Soccer Show that definitely does not suck. The boys get into the news that BJ Callaghan, assistant to the regional manager, is moving up in the world.

Then there's the Nations League roster, featuring the Folarin "Sun's Out Balogun's Out" Balogun and a weird midfielder without a clear #6. Who's missing from the squad and who maybe doesn't deserve to be there?

Jason and Jared talk about the U20 performance in Argentina, where Cade Cowell is Balls To the Wall and pushing the team into the quarterfinals.

There's some MLS news too, with Chris Klein finally getting booted and Phil Neville getting the axe in Miami.

Get some BSS gear. New designs coming soon! Make Nicky a happy boy.
