Ep 24 - MLS saves the USMNT from Ruin! St Louis does its best to make everyone mad, especially St Louis fans, and Suarez actually is suspended in MLS PLUS The best weekend slate of matches this season
Kevin, Grayson, and The Chief are on an international break shortened episode this week. The USMNT had a very up and down international window, but MLS had to save the day in the end. What does it say when the national team looks better the more MLS players you put in it? St Louis takes the bold stance of being anti-anti-childhood cancer. St Louis also took a ton of shots with nothing to show for it! And Miami v Seattle might be without Suarez, but it's still the match of the week-ish. Thankfully, MLS delivers the best weekend slate of games of the entire season (so far!)
