It's a set piece. It's a header. It's a goal. It's Chad Marshall.

How Marshall went from club soccer to Bradenton to college to the MLS Draft to put together the greatest MLS career for a defender & is #4 on our MLS Hall of Fame.

Tutul is smart. I got clear ideas from him that I didn't have before, such as parity (anyone has a snowball's chance of winning MLS Cup) getting in the way of teams focusing on development.

Alphonso Davies just became the first MLS alum to win Champions League.

Take a listen on how the Canadian phenom - who's parents escaped the Liberian Civil War to settle in Edmonton - became MLS greatest export.

This Sunday, Alphonso Davies will start at the Champions League final - the biggest stage in club soccer.

@25_stories Was listening to the Jaime Moreno episode. So the date in this https://t.co/z9pQsfkIf3 reference isn’t just coincidentallly interesting. I see a better depth of meaning to it.

@otscotty Thanks! That's all Neetol.

S2E3 - Dwayne De Rosario

Didn't reach MLS until 23, wasn't a starter until 26 and then went on a tear for 7 years the league hadn't seen before including the 2011 MVP season - where he played for three different teams.

Gotta listen to this. I'm down for any and all De Ro content. One of league's best, most distinct players ever.

Neetol's favorite DeRo moment is one of the best free kicks you'll ever see:

S2E2 - Jaime Moreno

The DC United talisman had 2 careers across 2 eras filled with trophies, accomplishments & stats. Never won the MVP but helped others get there, which speaks volumes about his play and is our 2nd person in our Hall of Fame

We mention it in the podcast but Moreno was in a serious golfing accident recently, so we donated to his gofundme here:
