The weekend has come, and it's time to mulch!
On this week's listener questions episode, we're discussing whether MLS teams should be spending more on elite defenders, why VAR seems to generate far less controversy in MLS than in the Premier League, how Real Madrid replaced Barcelona as La Liga's premier basket case club, which three goalkeepers we would pick for the US, Scotland, and England if forced to commit no matter wha, and fnd finally, whether the Champions League Final between PSG and Arsenal signals a broader and growing trend: the slow drain of global soccer superstars out of Europe, with no one around to replace them?
