Which domestic tournament is more compelling?
Back on the World Stage
After a wild night in the Amway Canadian Championship, the guys wonder if the Voyageurs Cup is more compelling than the US Open Cup. The table is certainly divided. Then Philadelphia Union manager John Hackworth joins the show to break down a huge win in Kansas City and a celebration that will stick with him the rest of his career. With MLS still rolling along while US camp gets rolling in Palo Alto, which team is going to suffer most?
As the USMNT gathers to prepare for their seventh straight World Cup, the guys reminisce with 1990 World Cup boss Bob Gansler about his attempts to qualify for as a player and a coach before finally leading his young charges to Italy. How did the US celebrate the 'shot heard around the world?' Why didn't Gansler lead the team in 1994? Plus, Jurgen Klinsmann...a diver?
Finally, Las Vegas' merits as an MLS expansion city are debated, readers vouch for Simon's sainthood and wonder what effect the TV windfall will have on CBA negotiations. Is this the new MLS and U.S. Soccer anthem? Plus, the merits of virtual Panini sticker are debated. Email us at ExtraTime@MLSsoccer.com or tweet us at @ExtraTimeRadio.
