About this episode

“Multiple sources told me MLS recommended that the winner of the MLS Cup Cup should get the spot the for Club’s World Cup (…) I was told that like the Commissioner's office wasn't thrilled about how this was all handled”

Herc sat down for a candid chat with Tom Bogert, a friend of the house and the MLS/USMNT insider for CBS Golazo Network, SoccerWise, and GiveMeSport. Talking all things MLS, covering a lot of ground such as the MLS Playoffs in the Eastern and Western Conference, the debate of Messi for being a candidate as the MVP this season, Neymar's rumors of possibly reuniting with his BFFs in Florida, and some transfer rumors about some USMNT players.
