He also talks about his time as the New Zealand National Team manager, and what led him to the USA. This episode is brought to you by Sports Recruiting USA, the College Soccer Recruiting Experts.

It was a hot, sleepy night in St. Louis, but by golly we learned stuff. Different challenge, different lineup. We break down the big moments of the game and assess individual performances.

Breathe. The season has just begun. We take some time to reflect on the Premier League season thus far and lament would could have been and dream about what could be. We cover the North London Derby and Brad's experience at Flannery's (Spurs bar in NYC) in depth, have Mike's daughter Abby make her first appearance, and talk about our early season overreactions and predictions. Then some Champions League fodder. Then some USMNT chatter because we're back to it and excited about the future. Not sure why but our numbers have been way down and that's a bummer. Not sure how much longer we'll keep this up but #35 is in the books. Let us know if you listen.

We are absolutely stoked to be joined by Tommy Thompson of the San Jose Earthquakes. Tommy has gotten a lot of praise this year, not just for what he's doing on the pitch, but what language he's speaking off of it. After the Argentine Matias Almeyda joined the club as head coach, Tommy took it upon himself to learn Spanish on the Duolingo app and now he is even doing interviews in Spanish as well. We also discuss the North London Derby and some Labor Day MLS Player's Union drama! Segment 1: It was laces out, Carli!
