American Soccer Show

One house, 26 teams, no rules, no health codes. On this very patriotic episode, Patrick and Emmett discuss who will advance through to the next round of Real World: MLS Bubble, favorites to lift the Returnament Cup, and who will get to return to the comfort of their own home with their friends and family.

Emmett and Pat discuss the rubber match between the Seattle Sounders and Toronto FC, as well as Thierry Henry's appointment to the Montreal Impact and the state of the USMNT.

The first round of the new single-elimination format in MLS produced some historic games, with two 4-3 extra-time thrillers, a playoff hat trick, and the confirmation of the heavily anticipated Playoff Traffico.

Pat and Emmett breakdown Wayne Rooney's legacy, Minnesota United's first home playoff game, and of course the historic Union-Red Bull that saw the first ever playoff win for the Philadelphia Union.

Emmett is joined by Red Bull enthusiast Pat Murphy to discuss the Philadelphia Union's first home playoff game against the New York Red Bulls, as well as every first round match up. 

To round things out, Emmett and Pat discuss the USMNT and the upcoming match against Canada in the CONCACAF Nations League.

Emmett breaks down week 26 in MLS, which saw the mighty LAFC fall, Philadelphia Union regain first place, and a 4-3 thriller in Seattle. The Sounders will be down to a 12-man roster next week against Colorado, as the team reels from the first international break of the fall season.

Emmett and Erik preview the Gold Cup semifinal, and look at how we got to this point, including a Canadian collapse, a Mexican escape, a Jamaican masterclass and a boring U.S. victory.

They also discuss the two rivalries in the Copa America Semifinal between Argentina and Brazil and Chile and Peru.

Then, the big one, a preview of the U.S. vs. England in the Women's World Cup and a look at a potential rematch in the final.

Emmett and Erik discuss the Gold Cup as the group stage takes shape. They also discuss all international tournaments including Women's World Cup, African Cup of Nations and Copa America.

Emmett and surprise guest Erik preview the Gold Cup, run down the latest news in American Soccer, and give predictions for the Copa America.

Emmett breaks down last weeks action, which saw New England bag four goals in Kansas City, Atlanta winning for the first time at home, and Anthony Hudson getting the sack as a result.

Meanwhile, Montreal earns another shutout, DC loses late, and Seattle hang on for 70 minutes with 10 men. 

Emmett talks about some of the issues facing the best of 2018, as well as the teams that are stepping up to replace them. Is anyone even close to LAFC? Who is the best in the east? Emmett breaks down all the MLS action from the previous week.

Emmett is joined by fellow Wesleyan soccer player, Bryan Rice. Together, they talk about last week in MLS, who to take seriously this early in the season, and the struggles of Atlanta, The Red Bulls and NYCFC.

Emmett talks the highlights of MLS action from week three, USA vs Ecuador, and speaks to Philadelphia Union forward Fafa Picault about his role in the Union's new system and the hate mail he received on social media after the 1-1 draw vs. Atlanta United.

Emmett talks about the major topics from last week in MLS and Concacaf Champions League, and speaks to Philadelphia Union Kai Wagner on how he came to Philadelphia and his role in the Union's new system.

Erik is going on hiatus, which means Emmett will be taking over as the lone host of the American Soccer Show. The format will change slightly, so listen each week to see what Emmett has in store.
