Summary

HEADLINES: What does PSG's decision to suspend Messi for two weeks mean for his plans next season; Barcelona's director of football leaving for... Aston Villa(?); MLS to San Diego; Don Garber takes poop on US Open Cup; USL picks guy fresh off being suspended by MLS to be league's new president - and why it may make sense; and winners/losers from the TST 7v7 group stage draw

WHAT IF: along the lines of Spurs players offering fans a refund after getting stomped by Newcastle, what if this type of thing -- getting a refund if your team gets spanked or getting charged extra if your team blows the doors off an opponent -- became codified in the fan experience?

PREMIER LEAGUE: an implausible-but-not-impossible path for Arsenal to win the league; how would this Arsenal team stack up against that recent Liverpool squad; where will Harry Kane be playing next season; Power Picks (predictions for top 4 and bottom 3) plus what games to watch this week/end

REST OF WORLD: bonkers final day in the Championship plus we pick a team to root for in the playoffs; Champions League preview + predictions and finally Blood Monday in MLS as managerial heads have begun rolling

0:00.0	All right, boys and girls, welcome back, Sam's Army episode 2.210 that we got a lot to
0:10.6	talk about this week.
0:11.6	We are going to start with headlines where we got messy, MLS, U.S. Open Cup soccer, U.S.
0:17.2	L, and TST 7B7, so basically all of the U.S. genres of soccer, weekly, what if we're

1:38.6	And if you're bitching about it, then you don't understand him, shut up.
1:43.0	Okay, fair, best defense, good office.
