They talk about all there is to know about soccer in the United States. Card carrying member of the Goalkeeper's Union Emmett McConnell writes for Prost Amerika and played Division 3 soccer in college. FIFA striker and Football Manager legend Erik Alcantar has done play-by-play and color commentary for the Ball State Cardinals soccer team and the Northwestern Wildcats Men's soccer team. He's also a former host of the Fantasy Express on WCRD 91
