Taylor is joined by Joe and David to spend even more time on the USA's 2-0 win over Mexico in the Nations League Final. Gass tries to claim the Number 1 spot in Tyler Adams fandom, and has praise for a few players we were more negative about in our initial reviews. We also focus on standout performers, as well as areas of vulnerability ahead of the Copa America this summer.

And then we close things out in the final segment with an abbreviated looked around MLS, including concerns for Toronto, big performers for RSL and Portland, and impressive wins for LAFC and the Red Bulls.---JOIN THE TSS+ PATREON!Check out our Patreon, which houses bonus podcasts, access to our exclusive Discord, blog posts, videos, and much more.Become a member today at patreon.com/totalsoccershow!
