NWSL High Impact Players, Tyler Adams Injury, and the 2025 Unfiltie Awards| Unfiltered Soccer

Who had the best 2025 in soccer? On Unfiltered Soccer with Landon Donovan and Tim Howard, our hosts are taking a look back at the year in soccer, handing out some awards for the biggest players like Lionel Messi, Rose Lavelle, and Matt Freese, and talking about some of the most shocking moments of the year, from Luis Suarez’s antics to Christian Pulisic’s decision to skip the Gold Cup. The guys go head to head in some podcast trivia, and cover a few stories from the end of the year including Tyler Adam’s MCL injury and the NWSL’s new High Impact Player rule. In the AT&T Mailbag, Tim and Landon are fixing American soccer, comparing the soccer heroes of old to the current GOATs, and even considering a penalty box for tactical fouls.
