Welcome to Allocation Disorder. I am Sam Staskel. He is Paul Tenorio. MLS is back. We are back. And this week, Paul, we are sponsored by... Drumroll, please. Wonderball. You remember those?

Yeah, I remember the... I remember the song. I remember the song. I remember the song. Sing it. No, I'm not singing on this show, but I remember the... You remember the song? I remember the song.

Sing it.

No, I'm not singing on this show, but I remember the jingle.

Do you wonder, wonder, wonder, wonder, wonder, what's in Wonderball?

You're such an idiot.

Shout out to somebody, I think, in my live Q&A that I did on The Athletic this week, who suggested that.

Thank you for that.

I appreciate it.

Any help is always appreciated.

It's thinking of fake, weird 90s food or drink sponsors is kind of a struggle when you get past the first three or four from me.

So any assistance greatly appreciated.

Paul, I said it already.

MLS is back.

The season is starting today. If you're

listening to this when it comes out on Friday, April 16th, two games. You have Houston and San Jose

and Seattle and Minnesota, followed by a full weekend of action on Saturday and Sunday. It's been a

long offseason. The longest offseason, in fact, in nearly 15 years, thanks to COVID and CBA and yada, yada, yada, all that stuff that we've already talked about a million times on the show. Now we finally have games back, and that is exciting. And what does that mean? That means we have to make some picks, Paul. A couple of quick house keeping

notes before we get there. Rastor rules came out earlier this week.

Woo-woo, it's a holiday at allocation disorder.

Yeah, geez, just like a lot of like legalese-esque reading. We were joking around. We both

should have been lawyers. That was her calling in life that we missed. But instead we talk about soccer for probably a lot less money than we would have made as lawyers.
