On this episode of Soccer 2 the MAX, Sean Garmer, Erik Watkins and Rachael McKriger begin with a look at the weekend's Major League Soccer action.
Orlando City somehow get a scoreless draw, even with two red cards. Sporting KC, New England and FC Dallas roll to comfortable wins. While Vancouver eeks one out against NYRB and more.
Plus, who's to blame for Real Salt Lake's major struggles? And does Mike Petke deserve to last the whole season? Is Colorado proving stats are overrated? Two grind it out wins recently, may prove Pablo Mastroeni right.
Then, focus shifts to the U.S. Men's National Teams, who both had games against Venezuela. The Senior team battled back for a 1-1 draw, but did anyone particularly impress? The U-20's got outplayed and almost run off the pitch, but actually held on and put up a fight to a 2-1 loss in extra time. How should fans feel about another Quarterfinal exit? Is this progress? Or should they be doing more?
Rachael has plenty to say about a mostly MLS led 40-man roster of U.S. players heading into training camp for Gold Cup 2017.
Finally, Rachael also leads the guys in talking about the National Women's Soccer League play for Week 8, before they take a break for almost two weeks due to international duties.
