All it took for USMNT fans to get hyped again was a little trash talk (and a win against Mexico). ESPN’s Herculez Gomez joins the guys to discuss Miazga vs. Lainez, the coaching search with no end in sight, the (higher than expected) ceiling of the USMNT and why Campeones Cup matters. Then Andrew, Dave and Bobby have the great Tyler Adams debate (RB or CM), try to figure out whether Tata Martino will stay or go in Atlanta, take sides between D.C.

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.

Plus, circling back on Fire head coach Veljko Paunovic's doubt F bombs, a disappointing (maybe?) season for the Dynamo, FC Dallas' quest for R-E-S-P-E-C-T, Josef Martinez's ho-hum record chase, the job at hand in Orlando for 2018 and much much more. Skip around using the guide below!

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. Plus, Bobby responds to Sounders fans and listeners pose philosophical questions in the mailbag.

Andrew and David breakdown the transfer window closing with the bird dog Sam Stejskal. Bobby heads to Philly to sit down with new Union GM Ernst Tanner. The guys chat with Kellyn Acosta about his turbulent year and what his future holds. Plus a new game in the mailbag.

It’s crunch time in Major League Soccer. The heady highs of the preseason are long gone, the All-Star parties are over and the transfer window is just hours from slamming shut. So where do all 23 teams find themselves with the playoff push upon us? The guys devote three minutes (at least) to every single club to get you ready for the final three months of the season. Plus, you won’t want to miss Bobby’s epic rant in the mailbag.

The whole gang converged on Andrew's hotel room in Atlanta to break down Fanendo Adi's epic Timbers goodbye and immediate FC Cincinnati hello, Wayne Rooney's first goal (and busted nose), Zlatan being Zlatan and Alphonso Davies dominant display. Stayed tuned for an All-Star preview and an interview with Andrew Carleton and Ben Mines.

Alphonso Davies is headed to Bayern Munich, and bags of cold, hard cash are headed to Vancouver. What's the record transfer mean for Davies? Is it the right move? What's next for the Whitecaps? And what does it mean for future sales?

Plus, an examination of Bradley Wright-Phillips' legacy after goal 100 in MLS, Raul Ruidiaz gets on the board, Dynamo fans are riled up about a red card, Fanendo Adi is on the block and ETR mailbag fun.

• 55:25 - Guiseppe Rossi rumors
• 58:30 - Mailbag ... soccer kids books for Wiebe, FC Dallas youth development, building a national team around one star or solid core and Josef Martinez for MVP

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.

BONUS: Big ExtraTime + All-Star Game news!

The guys head to the Tire District and add a fourth co-host to tackle the hot topics around MLS. First up, serious US Open Cup drama as the Timbers protest their loss, Adama Diomande calls out an unnamed player on Instagram and Peter Vermes shreds his own guys. Then it's all about the transfer window, most importantly the reportedly $3.9 million bid Crew SC have for goalkeeper Zach Steffen. Should Columbus take the money? Is the move right for the USMNT prospect?

Plus, Ezequiel Barco's first half season, Rooney's first road game, Mauro Diaz's replacement, Homegrown draft and Thierry Henry, more Downton Abbey (ask Bobby) and Costa Rica in the mailbag.

MLS welcomed a new stadium in D.C. and Wayne Rooney made his much-hyped debut, but Mike Petke stole the Week 20 show.

Plus, drama in San Jose in the midst of a miserable season, Atlanta can’t beat the bunker and BWP gives the haters a shout out. Sam Stejskal joins to talk Portland in the second segment, and Ben Baer and Downton Abbey share the mailbag.

First, though, all the MLS transfer madness as the window swings open -- the deals done, the deals in process and all the reaction -- with special guests Charles Boehm and Pablo Maurer (@MLSist). Then, a new era begins in the nation's capital complete with a new stadium and new star in Wayne Rooney. So what's the present and future hold? Finally, a mailbag from the road!

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. Then, Jesse Marsch left the Red Bulls ... to be an assistant coach? Why that's not at strange as it seems, plus the after effects from the a NY Derby with two new head coaches.

Also in this episode ... Josef Martinez is chasing the single-season scoring record, LAFC might be the best expansion team of all-time and USMNT coaching candidates and much more in the mailbag.

With Andrew and David out of town, Matt Doyle and Bobby Warshaw take over. They start with a quick World Cup recap, breaking down Mexico's World Cup and Spain letting down the world, then get into the big MLS storylines.

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

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

Chicago has now gone 5 unbeaten? ... Why?

Montreal have won 3 in a row and 4 of 5? ... Huh?

Plus...it might be time for Toronto to hit the panic button; what would that look like? Giovinco for Piatti... which team says no?

No need to wait. We've got a Thursday morning show for your listening pleasure! First up, Mauro Diaz may be on the move. Is FC Dallas right to consider selling the Little Unicorn? What do they do with the money? What's up with ATLUTD's new d-mid? Plus, breaking news as Wayne Rooney signs with D.C. United, then GAM, TAM and Sam Stejskal runs down all the news around the league.

MLS is back, and Matt Doyle and Ben Baer join Andrew Wiebe in the Green Room to dig into Dome (not Domenec) Torrent's first game in charge of NYCFC, Philly-lona's blowout win complete with comeuppance for snarky Twitter heroes, Kellyn Acosta's early hook in the Red Bulls' rout and everything else from MLS Week 17.

Plus, The Athletic's Paul Tenorio gives the guys the lowdown on Orlando City's coaching search and Doyle goes on an epic Juan Carlos Osorio rant.

Calen Carr and Bobby Warshaw join Andrew Wiebe in the Green Room as MLS prepares to return from the World Cup break. Before the guys give all 23 teams a turn under the microscope, they round up all the MLS, Concacaf and PRO headlines from Russia. The good, bad and the ugly (and straight up false).

Then it's on to US Open Cup with the quarterfinals set before hitting all the headlines for the entire league at the almost half-way point. What's at stake? Who is worth watching? Who needs to hire a coach (looking at your Orlando)? Whose coach must keep things running as planned (that'd be you, NYCFC)?

Finally, a fun mailbag with listener questions/comments on the viability of a 48-team at the 2026 World Cup, changes to referee structure and the Mexico conundrum.

Which ExtraTime Radio hosts will cop to rooting for Mexico? And why is everyone up in arms in the first place? Plus, complete breakdown of the coaching change in Orlando. Was it fair to Jason Kreis? What now for the Lions?

Eight more years! As Russia 2018 kicks off, there's finally some good news for American (and Canadian and Mexican) soccer fans. United 2026 was a success, and the world's biggest soccer party is coming to our shores. Andrew sits down with Matt Doyle to digest the news, then USMNT legends Cobi Jones and Brian McBride camp out in the Green Room to celebrate and re-live their own memories.

Patrick Vieira said recently that his head and his heart are in New York City. Turns out the future of his coaching career is in the south of France. Andrew Wiebe, Bobby Warshaw and Ben Baer try to nail down Vieira's legacy with NYCFC, then turn their attention to Domenec Torrent, Pep Guardiola's right-hand man for more than a decade and the blue side of New York's new boss.

In the second segment, Fox Sport's Rob Stone, Kate Abdo and John Strong join Andrew and David Gass to discuss the network's World Cup coverage. How did they prep? What do they expect? Is the criticism from outside warranted or overblown?

Also in this episode ... Alphonso Davies takes a flamethrower to the Orlando City backline, the race for the Wooden Spoon heats up, Seattle Sounders chase a big name in Liga MX and listeners give their USMNT head coach picks in the mailbag.

Technical director Luke Sassano is on the clock, and the guys chat with the former MLSer turned front office executive about what it will take to make FCC competitive in Year 1, how they'll use DP spots and TAM and what style of play we'll see on the field next March.

Also in this episode...

Monday is all about the big questions around Major League Soccer. Such as...

Kevin Kratz or Sebastian Giovinco from a dead ball with your life on the line? Who is actually good in the Western Conference? Which team could win CCL with a couple extra million to spend? Are Toronto FC in trouble or is this fake worry? Last, but not least, are there dead animals in Wiebe's walls?

Free space is disappointment, for another year at least. David and Andrew get on the mic from Los Angeles ahead of Sunday’s ExtraTime Live (5 pm PT/8 pm ET) to talk Toronto FC’s gut punch in the Concacaf Champions League final. What’s the legacy of the Reds’ run? Of this tournament for MLS? Of another year spent wondering what if?

Also in this episode ... Concacaf Champions League leg 2 preview and predictions, Sam Stejskal on unbeaten (but hard to peg) FC Dallas and Ben Baer gets hot in the mailbag.

Free space is disappointment, and Toronto FC filled the #CCLFever free space on Tuesday by dropping the first (and home) leg of the Concacaf Champions League final to Chivas Guadalajara.

Also in this episode ... GAM, TAM and Sam Stejskal on the "elite teams and regular teams" per Alexi Lalas, Kaku shines and Jesse Marsch says he's ready for the XI, Western Conference musical chairs, plus Ben Baer in the mailbag

Could this be the best week in MLS history? If Toronto FC and the Red Bulls advance in Concacaf Champions League, it'd be up there. Then again, the #CCLFever free space is disappointment, so gird your loins for what has previously been the inevitable when it comes to summiting Mount Liga MX. The guys give MLS Week 6 the full breakdown treatment, then look ahead to Tuesday's matches at Red Bull Arena (in front of a boatload of Chivas fans) and at the Azteca.

Also in this episode ... Sam Stejskal on USMNT general manager search and Ben Baer gives the perfect wedding gift thanks to a fellow cast member.

#CCLFever is back, and it just keeps getting better. Toronto FC delivered a message to Club America on the field. Off the field, the infamous BMO Field tunnel struck again and Piojo stole the headlines. In Guadalajara, the Red Bulls made it ugly, saw red, missed some big chances and ... got a decent result. Meanwhile, Aurelien Collin Concacafed until he could Concacaf no more.

Also in this episode ... Paul Tenorio on the Iker Casillas-to-Chicago and Ben Arfa-to-MTL rumors, and Orlando's short- and long-term future. Plus Ben Baer in the mailbag talking the Bruce Arena book, D.C. United’s future, and much more.

Zlatan? Zlatan. Zlatan, Zlatan and Zlatan. One man stole the show this weekend in MLS, and everybody knows who is he and what he did to win "El Trafico" for the LA Galaxy the very first time he pulled on the jersey. With David and Bobby back from GA Cup, Andrew has company to break down Ibrahimovic's heroics in the first-ever rivalry match between the incumbents and LAFC.

"I think Jesse [Marsch] should go to sleep every night thanking God for a Bradley Wright-Phillips." - Luis Robles

True statement, but is BWP the best MLS goalscorer (and perhaps player) of all-time?

Andrew and Matt talk through the New York legend's case, then cover the rest of Week 4 with a fine-toothed comb.

An already awful week for the Sounders got even worst when Clint Dempsey saw red and the final score in Dallas read 3-0 ... same as it did in Guadalajara midweek when the Rave Green crashed out of the Concacaf Champions League.
