World Cup News

(For games the week of April 11) This week we look at some unlikely winners who have perhaps turned their MLS fortunes around.

Andrew and Nick talk the week's games, including a flick and a stomp, Canada practice jerseys and Tyrone Mears' MLS memories.

The new MLS season has begun! Andrew and Nick talk their introductions to soccer and introduce you to the whopping 24 MLS teams, with a view to where they've been and where they're going.

Another late night Cooligans recording after the MLS Cup Eastern and Western Conference Final. A cold evening for American soccer, but we still had some hot games.

Much to our chagrin, we acknowledge that MLS has brought in another retire... superstar. We also break down all the games, including some teams who have apparently been listening to us and have turned their fortunes around.

With another goal filled week, we challenge whether it's really worth discussing who are the MLS frontrunners. And then we pick our teams of the week.

Week 2 of MLS did not disappoint and neither did CCL. All the MLS teams won their CONCACAF Champions League matches last week so we are thinking Liga MX may have to be cancelled now. Also, a team owner in Greece brought a gun to the field. Lots to unpack on today's episode. Segment 1: No fake guns or real guns allowed on the pitch Segment 2: It's not pronounced Tia-Juana New Cooligans "Gulliest" Tees are now available for pre-order!
