Unfiltered Soccer

Will US Soccer EVER hire the right Sporting Director? On Unfiltered Soccer with Landon Donovan and Tim Howard, our hosts dive into Matt Crocker’s tenure in the position, the announcement last week that he’s departing for Saudi Arabia, and what US Soccer needs when filling this vital position. In Major League Soccer news, Lionel Messi’s old friend Javier Mascherano is out of a job at Inter Miami, but that didn’t stop the herons from setting the second-highest attendance record in Colorado last weekend. And across the pond in the English Premier League, the Merseyside Derby turned red, the title race could be turning blue, and Spurs could be facing Lincoln City next season. In the AT&T Mailbag, the guys take your questions about Matt Crocker’s replacement and why the women’s side of soccer development has been on a more positive trajectory than the men’s side.

Agyemang’s pain may be someone else’s gain. On Unfiltered Soccer with Landon Donovan and Tim Howard, we're sharing our thoughts on the unfortunate news of Patrick Agyemang’s season ending Achilles injury and how it could potentially impact the USMNT’s roster for the World Cup. Will strikers like Josh Sargent or Brian White get a look? Could a wildcard like Zavier Gozo break through? Is Diego Luna’s spot now set in stone? Tim and Landon break it all down. Plus, we may be less than 10 matches into MLS’ season, but that’s not too soon for Montreal to make a move at coach. Was Marco Donadel really the problem or do the club’s issues run deeper than that? And what’s to be made of Son Heung-min's quiet goalscoring season? While some may be scratching their heads, Landon explains why it’s a whole lot of nothing! Finally, in the AT&T Mailbag, we're talking Lincoln City’s guaranteed promotion, Tottenham’s potential relegation and the U.S. Men’s “A squad” vs the U.S. Men’s “B squad.” New episodes of Unfiltered Soccer with Landon and Tim drop every Tuesday.
