Then it’s time to remember Run DMB. DaMarcus Beasley did his thing for 20 years and he’s still got six months to go. The crew explains how a kid from Fort Wayne, Ind., made it and how he inspired thousands in the process.

In this episode, the guys give underdog-turned-MLS goal king Chris Wondolowski his due. Landon Donovan lost the all-time goal record to the Quakes legend thanks to a flurry of goals, four to be exact, and all were pure one-touch Wondo. The guys explain what it means – to them, to Wondo, to MLS history – then chat to the man of the hour. How’d Wondo celebrate? What does it mean to him? What’s the coolest message of congratulations (spolier: David Beckham)?

Also in this episode  … Winners from Week 12: Red Bulls and Tom Barlow, Colorado Rapids, Real Salt Lake and the Bruce Arena Effect in New England, plus everything else that matters in Major League Soccer.

In this episode, Andrew Wiebe, David Gass, Bobby Warshaw and Matt Doyle go in on Major League Soccer’s Week 12. Monday means winners and losers, and there’s no bigger winner than LAFC these days. Bob Bradley, Carlos Vela and the rest of the Black and Gold are on track to obliterate every record in the book. Who would you take in the trophy chase? LAFC? Or the field? Are they actually the Man City of MLS, as Caleb Porter proposed? Other winners: Pity Martinez (finally off the schneid) and Atlanta United, teams that fired their head coaches (no, not the Rapids) and the Houston Dynamo … after a loss.

As for Week 12 losers, the LA Galaxy lead the pack after NYCFC handled them easily. Zlatan can’t do it all, but is he also holding the Galaxy back? Andrew is coming around to Team Bobby, and everyone else is rolling their eyes. Minnesota United have a conundrum, too. How do they get the best out of Darwin Quintero AND Angelo Rodriguez? And how can they start picking up wins at home? Sporting KC are also in the wilderness … and their numbers are dwindling by the day.

Also in this episode … Ben Baer joins for the mailbag to play “Guess that Designated Player!” and explain what Porter was talking about when he said Expected Goals told the real story of Crew SC’s season.

52:40 – MAILBAG: Name that DP! Caleb Porters xG comments!

In this episode, Andrew Wiebe, David Gass, Bobby Warshaw and Calen Carr tackle the close of MLS’s primary transfer window. Which moves did the guys like the most? Which teams did what they had to do as the count ticked down?

The Rapids certainly didn’t sit on their hands, getting younger and filling holes after they fired head coach Anthony Hudson. The Crew weren’t playing around either, but the winner was either the Seattle Sounders or Portland Timbers. The Athletic’s Sam Stejskal calls in to pull back the curtain.

Meanwhile, Paul Tenorio (yes, too much Athletic) doesn’t have a good nickname, but he does have the lowdown on the Fire’s proposed move from Bridgeview to Soldier Field downtown. FC Cincinnati president and GM Jeff Berding also calls in to explain why he dismissed head coach Alan Koch just 11 games into the club’s first MLS season and what comes next. Could David Moyes coach FCC? It’s possible.

In this episode, Andrew Wiebe, David Gass, Matt Doyle and Charlie Davies go deep on Major League Soccer’s Week 10. First up, as always, the winners from the weekend: Ezequiel Barco, Jim Curtin and the Union, Dab God aka Derrick Etienne Jr. and New York City FC. As for losers, FC Cincinnati’s tailspin continues – now with hard-truth quotes from Fanendo Adi – and referee Ted Unkel is under the microscope again as Columbus feels jobbed by a controversial call.

Also in this episode, analyzing the Francisco Calvo trade to the Chicago Fire, Diego Valeri joins the 70-70 club and the Timbers make a massive move! Brian Fernandez is headed to the Rose City in a record transfer from Liga MX’s Necaxa. Where will he play? How will he change the Timbers? Last but not least, some extremely MLS-y trades as the transfer deadline looms.

In the mailbag … Charlie picks his all-time 5v5 teammate, the guys identity surprise MLS stars of 2019 and the Houston Dynamo’s fast start is fun (but may not be sustainable).

In this episode, Andrew, David, Bobby and Susannah gather to discuss Major League Soccer’s current trend: coaches calling out their own squads. First up, Andrew’s 2019 MLS All-Star presented by Target XI. Got a chance, says Wiebe! Gonna get rolled by Atletico Madrid, says everyone else. Then it’s on to FC Cincinnati and Alan Koch – with plenty of props for the first-place Union – after comments from the coach that made it clear he believes the current squad isn’t enough to compete.

It’s a risky move, as Anthony Hudson found out. The Rapids parted ways with their head coach this week, and GM Padraig Smith called in to Extratime to explain the firing, lay out what comes next and take some responsibility himself. Who are the best candidates for the job? Bobby has a list, but we want to know what you think. In the Week 10 preview, planning for Baby Cameron’s first-ever MLS game at Red Bull Arena, the state of the Texas Derby (and Austin’s place in a few years), Sporting KC’s injury crisis and our ESPN+ games of the week featuring the Ozzie Alonso game, Crew struggles, Toronto FC rumors and Whitecaps-Rapids.

• 54:06 – MAILBAG: Black trash bag of swag, best MLS attacking duos, Roldan chatter

Andrew, David, Doyle and Calen sit down to analyze every nook and cranny of MLS Week 9. First up, the winners! Omar Browne and the Montreal Impact, who sit tied atop the East. Boniek Garcia and the Houston Dynamo, the quiet powers out West. Oh, and anyone who watched Sporting KC and New England go full-on Concacaf. The Week 9 loser? Gotta be the Rapids, by virtue of Colorado being the final team in the league without a win.

Also in this show … Zlatan talks trash, scores the game winner and tried to go to the Real Salt Lake locker room to apologize. Nedum Onuoha wasn’t having that. The guys put Pity Martinez’s body language and Atlanta performance under the microscope. Minnesota United gets to belt out Wonderwall thanks to another shut out. Seattle and Cristian Roldan have red card beef and a courageous point. Jeremy Ebobisse gets another goal, but should he keep his place in Portland?

• 49:03 – What is violent conduct? And did Cristian Roldan commit it?
• 54:09 – It seems you either love Jeremy Ebobisse or you don’t rate him at all

Andrew, David, Bobby and Susannah pick out the highs and lows of Week 9’s midweek slate and look ahead to the weekend. Are NYCFC back after Dome Torrent admitted he was under pressure? How did the Impact handle business despite travel issues? Is Matias Almeyda’s man-to-man system finally catching on? Plus, back to expansion reality with FC Cincinnati, Sporting KC’s injury woes, Minnesota’s mixed signals and The Athletic’s Paul Tenorio talking LAFC and those Bob Bradley comments.

Also in this show … Tenorio explains why MLS front offices are encouraged by MLS’s move to participate in training compensation and solidarity payments, listeners dream big with new league and playoff formats and Bobby declares himself an “Asterisk Guy.”

Dave and Bobby are back, complete with Frisco glow, to break down MLS Week 8 and talk expansion (30 teams!) with Andrew and Doyle. Best team in MLS? No doubt LAFC after Bob Bradley’s team dropped the Sounders 4-1 on Sunday. What makes them special? Can the team (and Carlos Vela) sustain this pace? Plus, Dome Torrent wins after admitting he was on the hot seat, Thierry Henry gets shot down as a replacement for Chris Armas, Frank De Boer puts lipstick on a pig, John Molinaro explains the Jozy-Bill Manning drama and much more!

Plus, takeaways from a historic GA Cup, where Seattle knocked off a who’s who of top international clubs to win the title, and the MLS Board of Governors votes to expand MLS to 30 clubs. What does that mean?

• 2:31 – LAFC make a statement against the Sounders
• 9:02 – Dome Torrent says he’s under pressure … then gets first win!
• 14:33 – Will he? Won’t he? Thierry Henry to Red Bulls gains steam then dies

The crew also explains why Friday’s UniMas game is a test for both the Galaxy and Dynamo, then wonders when Alberth Elis might be sold. Are Atlanta United making progress? Hard to tell. Is James Sands the next Homegrown stud? Could be. Is Caleb Porter out for some revenge against Portland? You’d think, right?

The biggest game of the weekend, however, comes on Sunday night, as Seattle visit LAFC. The Sounders’ Cristian Roldan calls in to talk flower planters (seriously), Seattle’s blistering form, his choice to re-sign on a TAM deal, draft-day motivation that lingers, his role with the USMNT and his best Clint Dempsey story.

In the mailbag, in honor of the Thierry Henry-to-Red Bulls rumors, the crew unearth former Designated Players they’d like to see become MLS head coaches, for all manner of reasons, good and bad.

1:08 – Good riddance, Sam Stejskal (just kidding, we love you)

Plus, is Bradley Wright-Phillips’ role evolving with the Red Bulls? What makes Sporting KC teenager Gianluca Busio so special? Is this the Ezequiel Barco ATLUTD paid $15 million for? Que golazo! Who gets more trophies: LAFC or Sounders?

Plus, Kei Kamara’s legacy examined after the Rapids striker moves into 5th on the all-time goal list, the Galaxy land a new center back who you’ll know from Concacaf and the World Cup and the United States’ Gold Cup mandate.

In this episode, it’s all about otherworldly performances from No. 10s. First, Alejandro Pozuelo has Andrew guzzling from the poisoned Toronto FC chalice after one of the best debuts in MLS history. But the Reds’ $11 million man couldn’t match the jaw-dropping exploits of LAFC’s Carlos Vela, who is following Bob Bradley’s request to aspire to Leonel Messi levels while he chases the Landon Donovan MVP trophy. Don’t forget the kids, either! Doyle says a change is underway in MLS. More domestic teenage attackers than ever before are playing and making a real impact.

In the second segment, a heaping helping of #CCLFever with Sporting KC manager Peter Vermes and Peter Brownell. Who, you might ask? The man who discovered #CCLFever, of course!

Who knows, to be honest. Plus, Bobby explains how coaches build a cohesive culture in their teams, Orlando City goes back to basics thanks to a Nani-led players meeting and Zlatan might be back for the Galaxy.

Andrew, David and Matt jump in the Green Room to celebrate the Five Stripes and dig into Chris Armas' gameplan. Did New York overthink it ... again?

Then The Athletic's Paul Tenorio calls in just minutes after breaking Zack Steffen to Man City, and MLSsoccer.com's own bird dog, Sam Stejskal, explains why Tab Ramos is a prime candidate for the FC Dallas job. Plus, more on Orlando City parting ways with their GM, and the Galaxy's chase for the director of Mexico’s national teams to lead their soccer operations.

In the mailbag, the guys put together their Best XI of MLS managers. Who will play center back? It's a tough choice.

What are the guys thankful for this year? Listen to find out. The meat of the show, of course, are previews for both Conference Championships. Will Red Bulls-Atlanta United live up to the hype? Can Portland lay claim to title of MLS elite? Does Sporting KC have what it takes to get to the promised land? Plus, in the mailbag, listeners give their Thanksgiving dinner equivalents in MLS. Warning: it gets petty.

Adios Papi in Dallas? One more year for Jim Curtin in Philly? The coaching carousel just keeps spinning in MLS.

Monday brought big news for FC Dallas and the Union, so Andrew, David and Doyle start there following an off weekend for the Audi 2018 MLS Cup Playoffs. First up, what does a one-year deal mean for Curtin, the Union and sporting direction Ernst Tanner? Then, with the news literally breaking on the show, what's next for Oscar Pareja and FC Dallas?

Also in this episode ... Doyle's message to panicking USMNT supporters, Josef Martinez's insightful article in the The Player's Tribune, another World Cup for Tab Ramos and the US U-20s, FC Cincinnati folks give their take on the new crest and much more.

What are we doing? That question remains topical for the US national team as another friendly comes and goes with no head coach, no discernible direction and no real positives to speak of. Andrew, Bobby and David go in on the loss to England and the ongoing coaching search, then move on to more positive things, like FC Cincinnati’s new crest and DP news, alternative MLS Best XIs, Marc Dos Santos’ new gig in Vancouver and much more.

After a two-week sprint, four teams are left standing in the Audi 2018 MLS Cup Playoffs. Andrew, David and Doyle gather in the Green Room to rehash all the action. First, why is Dome Torrent going off on reporters and what happened to NYCFC post-Vieira? Second, Atlanta United are back, and they’re pretty darn scary. Third, the Red Bulls did what their regular season suggested they would! Is the curse waning? And what now for Gregg Berhalter? Finally, Sporting KC held on by the skin of their teeth at home despite Mike Petke making some head-scratching lineup decisions. Oh, and stick around for some critical evaluation of the MLS awards season, Best XI and a new Ben Baer catchphrase in the mailbag.

The guys get together in Brooklyn, still riding a soccer high from the thriller in Seattle, to break down one of the best playoff games of all-time. They also look ahead to three huge matchups looming this weekend. Can the Red Bulls break through? Will Atlanta United come out at full throttle against NYCFC? And can RSL spoil Sporting KC's first postseason home game since MLS Cup 2013 without Albert Rusnak?

Who says the first leg of aggregate series are boring? The Audi MLS Cup Playoffs delivered on Sunday with four games full of storylines and highlight-reel plays. Even better, all four series still hang in the balance. Andrew, David and Doyle gather in the Green Room to talk about Gass' trip to Providence Park and breakdown all the matches.

They guys get together late night in the Green Room to digest an incredible start to the Audi 2018 MLS Cup Playoffs, from penalty shootouts to Kreilach Karate and the return of NYCFC. Then they look ahead to the conference semifinal first legs coming up on Sunday.

It’s the last week of the regular season, and that means all hands on deck. Andrew, David, Bobby and Doyle gather in the Green Room to attack the Tata Martino news from all angles. How should Atlanta United supporters feel? What’s the Argentine’s legacy? Will he exit with a Shield and/or MLS Cup? How did his sheer presence change MLS?

MLSsoccer.com bird dog Sam Stejskal joins the show to give his Tata take then guide the guys around the league. How did Dom Kinnear revive the Galaxy? What’s this about naked cartwheels, Chad Marshall? How could a rule change affect Homegrown players all over the US and Canada?

Heineken Rivalry Week is in full swing and the guys spend more than an hour in Wiebe's backyard sinking their teeth into the juiciest topics. First up, the NY Derby, in which the red and blue sides of New York shared the points but left with entirely different tastes in their mouths.

Happy Monday! There is now a four-way tie for MLS's single-season goal record. Josef Martinez did it by August, and now the only question is by how much will he blow the mark out of the water. The guys also tackle the Supporters' Shield race, #SenorWayne and D.C. United, the wacky and wild Western Conference, Caleb Porter's comments to The Athletic, the Jozy Altidore rumors and which MLS team they'd like to see be the subject of a Hard Knocks-style documentary.

Plus, Heineken Rivalry Week + a trip to the in-laws? How is Wiebe going to balance soccer and family life? Suggestions appreciated

Everyone has an opinion about Jozy Altidore, but let's talk facts. The man has scored in five straight finals, and his goals sent Toronto FC to yet another Concacaf Champions League appearance. Andrew, David and Bobby dig into midweek MLS madness, then Katie Witham joins to talk about FS1's all-female broadcast team on Sunday and the tricks of the trade on the sideline.

What happened around MLS this weekend? Andrew, Bobby and Ben go around the league to applaud #SenorWayne and Lucho Acosta's contribution to Audi Field lore, the red mist that doomed Toronto FC, karate chops and head butts in Seattle and everything else worth talking about from Week 24.

Just try to predict what's going to happen next in MLS. You can't do it. Kellyn Acosta to Colorado? Yeah, right. And yet here we are, breaking down a trade nobody saw coming, pondering the best path forward for wunkerkind Alphonso Davies in the wake of interest from Bayern Munich and mulling why Justin Meram would move back to Columbus after leaving just months ago. Silly season indeed.

The guys are back, including David after three full weeks in Russia, to catch up after a week off. First up, World Cup hacks and adventures in St. Petersburg and beyond.

Adama Diomande has 7 goals in less than 300 minutes ... How?

Dome Torrent has already started to make changes at NYCFC? ... What?
