Christian Polanco and Alexis Guerreros react to a crazy weekend in the MLS playoffs. First, LAFC were stunned by the Vancouver Whitecaps — how did it all go down, and does this make Vancouver the Western Conference favorites? Then, Inter Miami dominated FC Cincinnati. Will Javier Mascherano bench Luis Suárez permanently?
Next, Christian and Alexis bring on MLS and USMNT center back Tim Ream to chat all things USMNT, including Gio Reyna’s unlikely return. How will the USMNT prepare heading into the final stretch before the World Cup, and what difference has Pochettino made for the team?
Later, the boys break down whether Arsenal can stave off competition from Man City and Chelsea and continue their impressive start to the season. They also look at Liverpool’s struggles and what that means for Arne Slot.
