The 2026 MLS Schedule is here! We break it all down, from the St. Louis CITY SC opener on Feb 21 to the 2 month World Cup break to the many rivalry-related issues. We also look at some upcoming MLS leadership changes but start this show off with a recap of the CITY End of Year Press Conference!
A HUGE week for MLS. They announced the shift to a July-April season schedule w/playoffs in May + a single table format all coming in 2027! We open our 90th episode of the year w/a look at CITY's re-signings of Ben Lundt and Josh Yaro along with all the concerns that came with it and get you caught up on more Apple TV news!

On Monday November 3rd, Corey Wray was officially announced as the 2nd Sporting Director in St. Louis CITY SC history. Matt is joined by Justin Horneker from Talkin Soccer and STL Mag to dive into everything we know including Corey Wray's vast MLS experience, his strengths and what he brings to the job as well as a deep dive into the overall Sporting structure at CITY SC with a lot of comments from President/GM Diego Gigliani to guide the path.
A special airing of our Soccer in the Lou Postseason Roundtable where Matt and Phill joined Brendan Wiese on The Big 550 KTRS to break down big stories from 2025, the offseason so far and a look ahead to 2026! Before that though, a special announcement and a bit on Klauss.
Our 2025 Season Recap Show! A full recap of this season complete with stats, analysis and player awards! Then... we pivot to what's become a quickly active offseason, but without a Sporting Director in place. A deep dive into the player options and also who's making those decisions and what it means for the future of our club!
The final Fallout of 2025 as the season comes to a close for St. Louis CITY SC in a 2-2 draw to Real Salt Lake... but that wasn't the biggest news of the weekend. Roman Bürki, the only captain CITY has had, has signed a new 2-year contract w/a club option year! We start with the Bürki news before diving into the decision day match that saw CITY recover from a 0-2 deficit to take a point - something the club couldn't do earlier this year.
Decision Day is upon us but for St. Louis CITY SC, it's more about decisions around the Head Coach and Sporting Director. This final match of 2025 may cement David Critchley or it may raise more questions. We preview the match vs Real Salt Lake in full plus give CITY2 plenty of time as they begin their MLS NEXT Pro playoff push this weekend and in the wind down? We dive DEEP into the Sporting Director search and look at Conrad Wallem's unique situation.
St. Louis CITY SC is off this week, but with 1 week to go in the MLS regular season, there's a lot to take stock in. We cover the ongoing discussion of whether David Critchley will be named the full time head coach for CITY after this season and to do so, we bring David Critchley himself who spoke to us after training this week + a featured interview with Tomas Totland covering a range of topics and his thoughts on Critchley, but we start it all off with a look at CITY2 as they gear up for the MLS NEXT Pro Playoffs.
On the heels of St. Louis CITY SC being eliminated from the playoffs, our 1st of 2 remaining matches is at Austin FC. We preview it in full plus give a long look at CITY2's red hot season and playoff prospects & give a peek at our position by position look at what we might see this weekend & how it relates to next season too.
St. Louis CITY SC falls 3-0 to LAFC and is officially eliminated from the 2025 playoffs. The quality disparity was on full display as Son Heung-min notches a brace and Denis Bouanga adds another for LAFC while St. Louis wasn't able to get much of anything going. Matt & Santi break it all down and look at what we know and should takeaway about this CITY SC FO, staff & players after this one.
CITY welcomes LAFC and their dynamic duo of Son Heung-min and Denis Bouanga to town for another win or get eliminated matchup. We preview CITY/LAFC in full but start this show off with a look at 3 candidates that have emerged for the CITY SC Sporting Director job - and what those profiles mean for the search itself.
CITY WINS 3-1! Back to back wins for the 1st time under David Critchley and it's Brendan McScorely who is the hero. 2 goals, 1 assist and a goal line clearance are the headliners but he's not the only star. Roman Bürki's 9 saves helped cap a tale of two halves that we break down - in a rare postgame Fallout recorded immediately following the match!
We break preview the matchup against the San Jose Earthquakes, but not before talking about a scuffle in training and a strange week for player availability.

Amidst 43 shots, St. Louis CITY SC is only able to muster a 1-1 draw vs an FC Dallas team that was down to 10 men for over 70 minutes. Célio Pompeu scored upon his return to the Starting XI and continued discussion around Wallem v Totland surrounded this shot-fest. Matt and Santi recap it all + include plenty of big picture talk too about the future of CITY.
Another week of uncertainty and frustration paint the picture for St. Louis CITY SC. After falling 3-2 against Houston, CITY looks to right the ship again at home vs FC Dallas. We have the full preview + some takeaways from Houston and if you can believe it, we have some positives to note about the recent form from CITY (Matt's forte is finding the positive).
