About this episode

"I just hope that if Lucho Acosta is available pre-World Cup for the USMNT, his name is at least a part of the conversation because I think his body of work has at least warranted him to be talked about, even in a short amount of time leading up to it".

Herc sat down with FC Cincinnati's manager, Pat Noonan, to discuss "all-things Major League Soccer", his thoughts about the playoff structure, what's changed in Lucho Acosta in Cincinnati that he has unlocked new levels, and whether things have changed in US soccer.
