The intersection of soccer, money and politics (with Jeremiah Oshan)

John is back from Florida and has a lot of thoughts on the political divide between that state and California, which ties in well with today's conversations about international soccer coming to the United States this year and next.

After the guys talk a bit about politics and the Padres' beatdown of the Dodgers last night, they bring on Jeremiah Oshan from Sounder At Heart to talk through the battle between Sounders players and ownership over what they should be paid for playing in the FIFA Club World Cup and if the protests we've seen in Los Angeles might carry over into other cities during the tournament.

Finally, Darren and John are shocked at how bad things are going with USMNT and, later, they dig through the dates to try and figure out just how much the international tournaments will hurt SDFC over what should be a challenging next month of MLS action.
