Ep 13 - Does the USMNT reflect poorly on MLS? LAFC stands up to the federal government, Vancouver somehow smashed Seattle and could College Soccer be joining the US Open Cup!?

A very, very busy week off the field for MLS has so much to talk about in this one. The USMNT had two rough games in their tune-up match before the Gold Cup, but does it look worse for MLS that a team full of MLS-ers couldn't get it done? LAFC, the club and the fans, take a stand against the federal government while the Club World Cup looks to add ICE and Boarder Patrol to stadium security, where does this go from here? Vancouver Whitecaps continue their insane story with a very weird 3-0 victory over the Seattle Sounders and USSF and the NCAA are holding talks about how to incorporate college soccer in the broader soccer umbrella in the United States, what happens next? PLUS what to watch this weekend.
