Show Notes

In this episode of the Designated Players Podcast, the guys are back to continue the series where we talk about some of the biggest headlines in MLS/USMNT in the news recently. This week we are covering the recent coach firings, the US Open Cup upsets, and the Zardes trade to the Colorado Rapids. We start things off picking up from a small bit we discussed last episode on Matias Almeyda, except now there's another coach in that boat, Hernan Losada for DC United. We talk Losada's time in DC and whether or not this firing was fair. Next we talk about the first round of the US Open Cup for many MLS teams, specifically, the few teams that were upset by USL sides. We talk about whether USL sides have been improving, or if the results are more from MLS teams not caring and playing rotated squads. Finally, we end with Gyasi Zardes' move from the Columbus Crew to the Colorado Rapids. Will this be the move to get him a ticket to Qatar? A lot of fun topics, but we want to hear from you as well. What are your thoughts on these topics? If you like this series please let us know!
