Welcome to S.I's Planet Football Podcast, for each week we discuss the latest in the world of soccer.

I am S.I.com soccer editor, Avi Craigter, joined today by

SI senior writer Grant Wall and SI dot com's Brian Strauss. Today guys we're

gonna get into a little MOS All-Star game, some Gold Cup fallout, and then a little

diving back into the MLS oral history now that it's all out there for all to see, and I kind of

want to get into Zlatan because I got a chance to meet

him last week and that was fantastic. But first I want to welcome you guys in Grant and

I even travel in a bunch between Women's World Cup, Gold Cup, and

M-L-S all-star, so welcome back to New York.

Good he back.

And Brian, welcome it as well.

Thanks, Avi.

I'm excited to Pod today.

There you go. That's what I love to hear and that's what everybody loves to hear.

Guys, start with the MLS All-Star game. I was whelmed by it. It didn't overwhelm me. It just it was what it was. It was a bunch of not entirely first choice

Emelis All Stars playing against fifth place, sixth place, caliber, EPL team.

MLS 1, Kaka, played well for 45 minutes, which was great to see.

Some entertaining moments, second second half not as much

uh... great i guess was your take you you were there you saw it all what uh... what what do you think

yeah i was out there i mean i can get a few of these all-star games by now and it's always

for me and I realize I may not totally represent all the fans because for me what I

really enjoy is going out there on a Monday before the Wednesday game and seeing everybody
