Summary

In this episode, Andrew Wiebe, Matt Doyle and Calen Carr talk Expansion Draft, specifically Inter Miami and their roster for Year 1 in MLS. Sporting director Paul McDonough calls in to explain his plan -- he was part of the expansion build for Orlando and Atlanta -- and gives details about the club's open Designated Player spots (they expect to use both), the team's first head coach (you'll recognize the name) and David Beckham's role signing players (they answer his phone calls).

Also in this podcast ... Top players available in the Expansion Draft and best selections of all-time. Former MLSers you'd want to see coach. USMNT handle business against Canada. Is it the first of many steps toward a more pragmatic approach or just a one-off? Which players impressed? What happened to Canada? Plus, lots of listener mail.
