It isn’t the Yanks Abroad show yet — we talk a little bit about WWC and the experience, then dig right into all the action we missed while we were getting all the sun, all the baguettes, and all the wine. Vancouver, NYCFC, Columbus, and Atlanta brought us to second place, and extend our at-home unbeaten streak to 10. We cover all the bad fouls, bad refs, young kids, amazing goals, general MLS discussion, NWSL TV deal, and more in today’s show with Steve, Tim, and Andrew.

In our last show before notre voyages en France, Tim, Steve, and Andrew cut it up while we watch the opening round of the CONCACAF Gold Cup. We talk about WWC & the multiple questionable VAR penalty calls, the general state of the Men’s National Team, the Bruin injury, implications for the Sounders, and more! We can’t get enough of Mitch McConnell’s fave whiskey, and the Macho Man Randy Savage is a better soccer analyst than any of us.

Open Cup was a blast, even if we didn’t get the result we wanted. Steve, Tim, Nate, and Andrew cover the first week or so of the Women’s World Cup, including the smashing USA debut vs. Thailand.

We move to the state of the Tacoma Defiance, and how we think that might intersect with the US Open Cup result. As usual, lots of chatter and a great time had by all.

One more show to come this week, and then some of us will be headed to the last two weeks of WWC in France!

So here is what I should have said when Nate asked me what I would do if I was to become the soccer czar of the USA…
