Chapter Eighteen: MLS Kicks Off w/ Jeff Agoos

Chapter Eighteen: MLS Kicks Off w/ Jeff Agoos

When the United States was awarded the 1994 World Cup, no top-flight professional league existed in America. But, part of the proposal to FIFA included the creation of a new domestic league, and US Soccer went to work creating Major League Soccer (MLS) in parallel to preparing for the 94 World Cup. The magnitude of the event delayed the start of MLS, but when it finally kicked off in 1996, the league featured US Men's National Team and international stars expected to draw crowds to the inaugural season's games.

Jeff Agoos had storied career at the University of Virginia, and was reunited with Bruce Arena as part of the first DC United team. He played in the very first MLS game and was a key part of the league's first great success story. Agoos won MLS championships in five of the league’s first eight seasons, and emerged as a stalwart for the USMNT -- playing in 134 international games. He was inducted into the National Soccer Hall of Fame in 2009.

Agoos joined Founding Futbol to share his memories from the early days of MLS and talk about how the league helped move his career forward.

Founding Futbol is a year-long exploration of the critical moments that have led to soccer's emerging popularity in America.

Narrative Overload at Anfield

Narrative Overload at Anfield

On this edition of the ArsenalVision Podcast, Elliot is joined by Clive and Tim to discuss a day of crazy narratives at Anfield. The pod starts with a discussion of the importance of earning the draw rather than capitulating after a poor first half. Then the discussion shifts to some of the narratives around the game including the Anfield crowd’s antagonistic attitude towards Arsenal and Mikel, Arteta’s post match interview, and the Liverpool supporters booing Trent Alexander-Arnold. Then the pod shifts to discussing the game starting with the first half. There’s a bit on the opening chances not taken and then a conversation around the slight capitulation that followed. The pod moves on to the second half fightback and discusses Martinelli playing through the middle. There’s discussions about Saliba, White and Merino, plus a bit on Ethan.

The pod covers the key individual performances, the goals, the penalty and the big chances that went begging as well as the subs that were made and the subs that weren’t made.

Episode 893 - Paris Win Can Make League Struggles Irrelevant

On this edition of the ArsenalVision Podcast, Elliot is joined by Paul and Tom Canton from The Gooner Talk and Football London to discuss another league disappointment, and how it can all be forgotten if the team can produce an historic win in Paris. The show starts with some big picture thoughts on the state of the league season and how to think about Arsenal’s dreadful run of domestic form. The lineup is scrutinized before a positive first half is discussed including the key moments. The Second half struggles are also dissected as well as a small section on the decision to allow Bournemouth’s second goal. The group attempts to answer why Arsenal have struggled defending set pieces and why so many points have been dropped from winning positions despite a good defensive record overall. Individual performances are analyzed with a focus on Declan Rice, Martin Odegaard and Myles Lewis-Skelly. The pod covers the late subs as well. After that there’s a small section on the rumors linking Saliba to Real Madrid before attention turns to the second leg in Paris and the group previews that matchup both in terms of the tactical battle and in terms of the significance for Arsenal’s season.
