  • Probably the best soccer analytics podcast with a focus on NWSL and MLS that has been around for 10+ years to exist.

  • UPDATE WEBSITE SOONER

    These guys have excellent analysis, excellent statistics, excellent blog posts but fail to update the statistics on their website in a timely manner after games. Other stat-based sites for various sports have their stats updated within a day or 2 after any given game. ASA takes several days and sometimes does not have previous games’ stats posted prior to new games being played several days later. Otherwise, there’s no better MLS analysis out there.
