The MF Crew discuss the potential of former Arsenal and current AC Milan number nine Olivier Giroud heading to MLS and signing with LAFC at the end of the Serie A season.

The MF crew take a look at the UEFA Women's Champions League which saw the Leg 1 Quarterfinals kick off yesterday. Chelsea defeated Ajax 3-0 and Lyon righted the ship after being down a goal to beat Benfica 2-1. This is the only title that eludes future USWNT coach Emma Hayes during her tenure at Chelsea.

The MF crew take a look at which MLS club in the east is struggling the most to start the season.

The MF crew take a look at which MLS clubs out west are struggling to start the season. LAFC has just one win in four matches and only two goals scored in total. They've conceded six and currently sit in 10th place in the West. Nigel believes the answer is simple, "Denis Bouanga is not scoring." Next up, the San Jose Earthquakes. They are winless heading into week 5. Scored 3 but conceded 9. Is Luchi Gonzalez on the hot seat?

The MF crew analyze the sanctions placed upon Nottingham Forest for violating the profitability and sustainability rules of the Premier League. The league has deducted 4-points which now puts Forest in the bottom three and will have to battle even harder to avoid relegation. Tough to see as teams like Man City and Chelsea spend so much and teams at the bottom are just trying to compete to stay in the top tier. This comes down to the club as it's ultimately their responsibility. Nigel believes it comes down to better scouting as opposed just chasing after players every body wants. And how will this ripple effect hurt someone like Gio Reyna who just made a move to Forest, will he see playing time in a relegation battle?

The MF crew take a look at Inter Miami's Messi-less win over DC United at the weekend. Alongside Luis Suarez, who just can't stop scoring goals, a lot of credit needs to be given to the supporting cast of the Florida side specifically Diego Gomez and Federerico Redondo who are finding their form. But, with a long grueling season ahead of them including multiple international breaks that will see their stars and up-and-comers not available, can they sustain this play we've seen to start the season?

The MF crew dive into Manchester United's win over Liverpool in the FA Cup Quarterfinals that saw the match go into extra time where three goals were scored. Amad Diallo delivered the game winner in stoppage time of the second half of extra time. This match had the feeling of 'old times' at Old Trafford with the warrior mentality showing it's face from the United. Moving forward, how can the squad build off this victory. The youth seem to be in place for a team that had been lacking an identity all season long.

The MF crew breakdown the USWNT's victory over Brazil in the first ever CONCACAF W Gold Cup final 1-0. Lindsay Horan scores the game winner in the first half which was just enough to get it done. Brazil at times were the better team but made too many unforced errors in the midfield which ultimately cost them. Horan finishes the tournament with 3 goals and 1 assist. The consistency just wasn't there for the US overall as the team was heavily rotated throughout the tournament. There's a long way go for this USWNT but a trophy is a trophy. Congrats to Twila Kilgore as well. Is this redemption for the US team?
