Welcome to Allocation Disorder. I am Sam Stayskull, joined as always by Paul Tenorio.

We are coming to you, oh, roughly 36 hours before the start of the 2022 Major League Soccer

season. Of course, Concaf Champions League has been underway already, so we've seen some

MLS teams in action, but the full deal, MLS proper, gets underway on Saturday. So we're

going to be breaking it down. In depth,

we gave you a preview show last year. I think we went through our predictions at the end of the

season, Paul, and just how terribly wrong we were. It was remarkable. Yeah, I've got to save this

document in like an easily searchable way.

Yeah.

So, you know, hopefully we do a little bit better.

I think I picked L-AFC in Columbus to make MLS Cup, and I think I picked Columbus to win

the supporter shield.

Neither team made the playoffs.

So that about sums up how it went.

Wancho Obila.

I went back. I looked at these. He was my newcomer of the year selection. He got waived in like July. I appreciate the Wanchope love, though. Like I always said with Wanchoobabula, any Wanchop love, whether it's Paolo Wanchope or someone named for Paolo Wanchope, I'm okay with.

Yes, yes, indeed. So hopefully our picks this year go a little bit better. It would be almost impossible to do worse. So, you know, it's a low bar that we set ourselves here on Alocation Disorder. If you're listening to the show and you've listened to previous episodes, you already knew that though. Paul, before we get into our picks, I do want to take a moment to sort of reflect.

You know, I do want to take a moment to sort of reflect.

You know, I've lit a candle here in my office this evening.

Bath and Body Works, the aromas, you know, they're inflate.

Is it to cover the aroma of our picks? Because my newcomer of the Erospato, and I think

you played like 12 minutes. Yeah. Well, no, those picks, the aroma of our picks? Because my newcomer of the Euris Pato, and I think he played like 12 minutes.
