    This show is one of a few that mainly focus on lower league soccer in the USA. If you want soccer to grow in America this is where your support should go.

  • Much needed US soccer pod

    Great perspectives and great for keeping up on the rapidly changing American soccer landscape. The 3 shows per week cadence is perfect and was much needed in the us soccer podcast space.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

MLS Next Pro Making Moves, Forest Park Rangers, College Soccer Reform + More
Q: What is Forest Park Rangers and what's been set up so far?
Franklin describes the club's progress, including hiring a sporting director and head coach, recruiting players, growing its membership, preparing for a 2027 Midwest Premier League debut, and securing Hummel as its kit supplier.
MLS Next Pro Making Moves, Forest Park Rangers, College Soccer Reform + More
Q: How does this affect USL two, Midwest Premier League, the League of Clubs, et cetera?
A longer college season could make college players less available to summer leagues, prompting those clubs to rely less on Division I players and consider other player pools.
Playoff Clinchers, Domed Soccer Stadiums, Kit Talk + more
Q: Mark, is it geography that you reach to first, first and foremost, when you're looking for design inspirations for a new kit?
Jenkinson says geography is not always the first source of inspiration. The design depends on the club's story, and local references work best when they are researched and integrated meaningfully rather than used as decoration.
Playoff Clinchers, Domed Soccer Stadiums, Kit Talk + more
Q: What are some of the instructions that you give to people or maybe some parameters for a kit, like what you'd see on this template translates into a real shirt?
Jenkinson says a kit should connect with people through a story, drawing on color, architecture, local or club history, and the values represented by the design. Submissions can use different media, and Bastion can help translate the concept into a finished shirt.
Ultrafest 10/24, USA VS Spain Part Dos, USL1 Playoffs + More
Q: What do you make of both games going down 2-0 early, and what do you see in how they come out?
Ryder says the center-back pairing was playing together for the first time, with injuries forcing defensive changes. Building those relationships takes time, and the team must balance developing a core group with testing combinations.
