World Cup qualifying is hours away for the United States national team, and Andrew and Matt dive into CONCACAF’s Fourth Round with both studs up. Well, not really, but there is plenty to talk about as Jurgen Klinsmann and his charges get set to take on St. Vincent and the Grenadines. Will Darlington Nagbe play? Can the US find and stick with a formation? Oh, and do Canada fans have reason for Hex hope as a young squad gets ready for another go?

The rumor mill is churning in MLS, as SI.com’s Grant Wahl drops some midweek bombs regarding TAM, Gyasi Zardes, Robbie Keane’s future employment and Osvaldo Alonso’s status as a Seattle Sounder. Plus, Laurent Ciman is the Defender of the Year despite some blemishes on his resume, and AT&T Rookie of the Year Cyle Larin joins Andrew to reminisce about his record-breaking season.

In the mailbag, fans chime in about that epic FC Dallas-Seattle Sounders clash in the Audi MLS Cup Playoffs, then one gets some serious swag for a creative email that blends the MLS Best XI with the fans that rep each team.
