Unfiltered Soccer with Landon Donovan and Tim HowardAbout this episode
It's time for the MLS Playoffs! On Unfiltered Soccer with Landon Donovan and Tim Howard, our hosts dive into this past weekend’s Decision Day, and give their predictions for the wild card and first round games. They're also looking at Christian Pulisic’s reported injury and what it means for the relationship between AC Milan and the U.S. Men’s National Team. PLUS, we take a trip down memory lane to Landon’s USMNT debut 25 years ago. We’re talking Ronny Deila’s firing at Atlanta United, Ange Postecoglou gets the sack at Nottingham Forest, and Erling Haaland in top form at Manchester City. Plus, are Liverpool in free-fall after 4 losses in a row? In the AT&T Mailbag, Tim and Landon talk captain’s arm bands, the dog in Chris Richards, why no one’s talking about Miles Robinson and whether or not coaches are to blame for team failures.
