Total Soccer Show: USMNT, Champions League, EPL, and more ...

We take turns answering your listener questions, including...1) If Man City were deducted every point they have gotten this season and had to start today with 0 points, could they stay up?2) How would you fix the Club World Cup if you were in charge?3) Would an Over-32 world best XI beat a U-19 best XI? Where would the two teams place in the Top five leagues? 4) What impact will the incoming rules on agent fees have? Will this help clubs who are currently having financial difficulties or is it simply going to inflate transfer fees?5) What is the Court of Arbitration for Sport? How did it start? Is it an actual court or do all sports teams just agree to abide by their rulings in order to avoid complete and utter anarchy?6) I want to support an EPL club, but I don't know which team to back. Can you help a mid-season acquisition find a club?--JOIN THE TSS+ PATREON!Check out our brand-new Patreon, which houses bonus podcasts, access to our exclusive Discord, blog posts, videos, and much more.Become a member today at patreon.com/totalsoccershow!--Sponsors!
