Hello,

Hello, everybody, and welcome to the Total Soccer show.

My name is Taylor Rockwell and here with me to answer my many, many questions about Major League Soccer is the man with hopefully all the answers.

It's Joe Lowry.

Hello, Joe.

I feel a heavy weight on my shoulders today in the absence of David Goss.

It's a big burden to bear, but Taylor, I hope that I'm ready to bear it.

I hope so, too. I have a question about pretty much every team in the league. We're going to see how many we end up getting through. Every single question I do have is inspired by the MLS coverage over at Backheel. Joe, can you refresh our collective memory about the weekly conference recaps you all provide? And maybe feel free to plug any other good stuff you all have going on because there is a bunch. Yeah, sure. Thank you for the opportunity. So every Monday, Ben Wright, who's based in Nashville, does great local coverage of National SC, does stuff for MLS Soccer.com and has a really good feel for

the pulse of the league as a whole. He and I split up Major League Soccer, which is still a big task,

even when you divided amongst two people. But every Monday, Ben writes about each team in the East,

and I write about each team in the West. And we sort of publish these as side-by-side,

almost like brother columns on backheeled.com.

And so if you want to go and read about your team or anybody else's team or your least favorite team, you want to hate read a section, you're welcome to do that. You can go check that out. We're over on backheel.com. And then later in the week, we've got some data e stuff. We've got some features coming that are in the pipeline right now that I'm really excited about. and while I'm doing the back heel plug

on top of the MLS stuff

and John Morris is doing

great USL stuff for us

we're really ramping up

the end of in the pipeline right now that I'm really excited about. And while I'm doing the back, you'll plug, on top of the MLS stuff, and John Morris is doing great USL stuff for us, we're

really ramping up the NWSL coverage these days. We've, we've currently, we're rocking out with two

NWSL pieces every week. And one is a more like long form, sort of thoughtful, probing questions

sort of piece. And the other is a look at each team in the league as well.

So I think we're doing really good stuff.
