Big MLS News, USMNT Concern Meter, and the Premier League Relegation Battle

On this episode of The Sunset Soccer Club, Arman and Tyler tackle a big batch of MLS news and rank how concerned we are about some of the most important players for the USMNT.

First, the Vancouver Whitecaps appear to be on the verge of being moved from the Pacific Northwest and sold to the highest bidder. We’ve seen this kind of thing before in MLS, with Anthony Precourt attempting to move the Columbus Crew to Austin roughly a decade ago. This conflict centers around the need for a stadium and buyers for the Whitecaps. Arman and Tyler share what stands out to them about this particular story.

Staying in MLS, the guys discuss the greatness of Bruce Arena, who has once again turned around a franchise and has the San Jose Earthquakes atop the Western Conference Standings. How does this guy continue to do it? On the other end of the spectrum, it’s dark days in Kansas City, where SKC is realizing a hard truth as they attempt to move on from the Peter Vermes era.

Finally, it’s time to rank our level of concern on a scale of 1-10 for a few of the USMNT players. Christian Pulisic can’t find the back of the net for AC Milan, Anotonee Robinson isn’t getting starts for Fulham, and Mauricio Pochettino doesn’t seem to know who his best XI is.
