MLS Talk Podcast : This Week in US Soccer, November 7, 2011
On the latest edition of the Major League Soccer Talk Podcast : This Week in US Soccer, your hosts Chris Webb and Chris Riordan bring you a view of the beautiful game from a regional and American perspective. After taking an unexpected week off, the show is back with the main focus being a comprehensive review of the MLS Cup playoffs from the Wild Card round, all the way through the Conference Finals.
Chris and Chris briefly discuss MLS’s finalist picks for the end of the year awards, but decide to shelve this discussion until next week’s MLS Talk awards segment. The crew discusses the Galaxy’s deserved finalist spot as well as Houston’s somewhat storied run. They talk about teams like Philly and KC that have made huge leaps and should be good for several years, as well as teams that maybe didn’t need to be in the postseason. So buckle up for your condensed MLS playoff review.
Finally, Chris squared breaks down the USMNT roster for the upcoming friendly in France. We talk about Klinnsman finding his core players as well as look forward to the day we see Donovan and Dempsey on the pitch at the same time under the new regime. All this and more on the latest MLS Talk Podcast : TWIUSS!!!!

I first started listening to you guys about a month ago and
immediately got hooked. You guys are great, informative, funny, and
you talk about the CCL which is the one competition that nobody
talks about. There is only one problem. It seems that after every
analysis you guys have the need to say “This isn’t DC bias okay.”
You guys do not have to say that 20 times in every podcast, I know
your DC supporters but you guys do your job perfectly. So just my
two cents. Keep up the great work, you guys have a new listener.
Jimmy, Thanks for listening, we really appreciate your support. We
hope it’s fun listening to us, because we are having a blast doing
the show. As for your sentiments on the “non-DC bias statements”
… I couldn’t agree with you more. I began to realize that we
don’t need to keep stating it, (though it is more of a running gag
than anything) because we are being objective about things, from
now on we will just let our commentary handle those statements.
There’s no need to constantly justify our non – bias, as such
statements might lead people to actually think we are biased. Keep
listening and tell your friends. Thanks again.
