Promotion and relegation is one of the biggest things missing from American soccer, but could that finally be changing? On this episode, we break down whether promotion/relegation can actually work in the US, why it has become the standard around the world, how USL plans to implement it, and whether MLS would ever seriously consider joining in. From the financial risks to the possible upside for clubs, players, and fans, we debate if pro/rel would bring more legitimacy and excitement to the American game or create even more instability.

What is a bottle? Many have accused Arsenal of ritually chucking away the Premier League for a few years now. But is that fair? Are they serial chokers limited by their own shortcomings?

Our guys have all experienced soccer trauma with their teams falling short over the years. Raheemovic, Corbin Mills and Tom Hindle get in to some personal trauma in a ragebait-y exploration of football's most overused term. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

MLS season is underway, which means it's time for our Rondo guys to get excited about American soccer again. To be honest, they missed it quite a bit.

But does anyone want to watch the product on the pitch? Should they care? And, most importantly, is this a RETIREMENT LEAGUE?Raheemovic, Corbin Mills, and Tom Hindle break down the league shortly after its 31st birthday as it moves from startup to major player in the soccer world.
