Mailbag/Weekend Recap Edition

Mon, 01 Jul 2024 15:56:55 -0400

On this week's Mailbag Episode of Soccerwise, Gass responds to a big batch of Patreon subscriber questions with an unbridled enthusiasm that only he could muster! From Copa America reactions (OH CANADA!) to midseason referendums on teams in MLS and the NWSL, Gass covers it all. He's even asked to confront his "hatred" of the Maritime Messi, Jacob Everett Shaffelburg, and he picks three of his all-time favorite Dairon Asprilla moments (and maybe names a roster designation after Mr. October.)

Be sure to catch Soccerwise live on YouTube and Twitch at 2pm ET every Tuesday (with Gass and Tom), Wednesday (with Gass and Jordan), and Thursday (with Gass and Tom).

MLS Edition

Tue, 25 Jun 2024 20:31:19 -0400

It was a busy weekend in MLS and in Copa America, so Gass and Tom had lots to discuss in today's episode of Soccerwise. They kick things off by talking about the big news in San Jose as Luchi Gonzalez was fired. Gass and Tom get to address the dire situation in San Jose and offer up some feasible coaching replacements. Then Tom digs in to what he's hearing about the validity of the Weston McKennie-to-Cincinnati rumors, and Gass lets us know what that says about Cincinnati's ambition. Plenty of transfer chat around Thiago Almada and Moise Bombito. Plus they even manage to throw in a cheeky Canada vs Peru preview for those of you that are locked in on Copa America this month.
