Summary

The Rank Squad has a new member! Bastian Schweinsteiger joined Jack Collins, Dean Jones and Sam Tighe in Chicago to talk about the people that had influenced him most in his football career (17.00), where he has won the World Cup and the Champions League. Bastian also chatted about his life in Chicago (13.31), how he has moved to becoming a ball-playing centre-back in his time at the Fire and taught the squad about his homeland, by ranking the best things about Bavaria! (29.40) In this week's Hot (Fire) Takes, we discussed whether LAFC could survive in the Premier League (02.10) and the increasing standard of MLS; how Grizi and De Jong's additions at Barca could spell the phasing out of legendary Sergio Busquets in their midfield (05.58); and who was the most crucial of three searing USMNT prospects - Tim Weah, Tyler Adams and Weston McKennie (08.44). The Roulette wheel got banned from our hand luggage, so it was Lucky Dip instead this week - discussing MLS style Penalty Shootouts (33.30) and who we think is the signing of the summer (35.14), before Sam ranks three things that Football could learn from Baseball in this week's special US Nonsense Rankings (40.00).
