The Locker Room: The Post Ronaldo Era Is Here

The crew discusses Real Madrid's convincing start to life without CR7, and wonder, in the case of Barcelona, whether there's such thing as too much squad depth. The aforementioned CR7 failed to score on his Serie A debut, while wunderkind Kylian Mbappe lit up Ligue 1 on his first game back after the World Cup, although not everyone is singing the PSG striker's praises. But one thing everyone can agree on: Gary Bailey's beloved Red Devils are in turmoil.

The Future of U.S. Soccer: Pro/Rel

In the second installment of our three-part mini series, the conversation turns to the contentious topic of Pro/Rel. Are the barriers to entry anti-competitive? Is the current closed system partly to blame for the men's national team failing to qualify for the 2018 World Cup? Can newly-elected USSF president Carlos Cordeiro relinquish control from the de facto gatekeepers, the MLS owners? Kevin Egan sits down with NASL interim commissioner Rishi Sehgal, 13-year MLS and NASL veteran Hunter Freeman, five-year NWSL veteran Stephanie Ochs, and a man who has seen (and called) it all, Phil Schoen, to discuss the future of the sport in America.

The Future of U.S. Soccer: Dollars vs. Development

The U.S. men's national team missing out on the 2018 World Cup sent shockwaves through the soccer world and saw Sunil Gulati call an end to his 12-year reign as USSF president. In the presidential election that followed, one word rang louder than all others: 'change'. The eight candidates vying for the job all promised change in some form or another, whether it be to do with the current scouting networks, pay-for-play, inequality in the women's game or the need for promotion/relegation. When asked about the federation's top priority though, the election's eventual winner, Carlos Cordeiro, said his first order of business would be securing co-hosting rights for the 2026 World Cup - along with Canada and Mexico. Using the new president's comments as a jump off point, Kevin Egan sits down with NASL interim commissioner Rishi Sehgal, 13-year MLS and NASL veteran Hunter Freeman, five-year NWSL veteran Stephanie Ochs, and a man who has seen (and called) it all, Phil Schoen, to discuss the future of the sport in America. Part one of our three-part series focuses on how to best marry the business side of the game with youth development.
