Justin and Maria explore the history of the terms, their origins in England, and how they've evolved in the United States. Discover why this seemingly simple debate has sparked such passionate discussions. From the early days of the sport to the modern-day MLS, we uncover the cultural and historical factors that have shaped the way Americans perceive and embrace the beautiful game.

LAFC and Sporting KC will face off in this year's US Open Cup final on September 25. In anticipation, we're looking back at the two teams who are tied for the most ever US Open Cup titles: Maccabee Los Angeles and Bethlehem Steel--both with five titles to their name.
Bethlehem Steel FC, a powerhouse of early 20th century soccer, is a quintessential example of the industrial teams of the period. We cover the early amateur years, the birth of the American Soccer League, their ultimate downfall in the soccer wars, and a scoring record that stood for decades. The
Los Angeles Maccabee Soccer Team was a prominent force in American soccer during the 1970s. The club, founded in 1958, represented the Jewish community in Los Angeles and was known for its competitive spirit and talented players. We take a look at their most successful years in the midst of turbulent times in American soccer, as well as some of their most interesting players and dynamics of a diversifying squad.

Welcome back pumpkin spice season I mean English Premier League! On today's podcast Justin and Maria talk about EPL's matchweek 1, some antics from Arsenal, and the state of the kits--with a specific focus on the neck region. They also bring it back to MLS and chat about changes happening at the Chicago Fire with the announced exit of sporting director Georg Heitz and DP Xherdan Shaqiri. So sad to say goodbye. But it's also time to say hello to Mauricio Pochettino as we welcome him to the USMNT. Big news as the USL introduces it's latest addition: the USL Super League--a designated Division One women's league. In the post-olympic void, Maria and Justin discuss the history of the very first Women's soccer game in the US dating back to 1893, and what we can do to make sure we keep women's soccer at the front of our minds.

This week, we continue our exploration into the history of the beautiful game in Chicago. This episode is part of an ongoing series focused on the rich history of soccer in the United States, with a special look at the game's long and fascinating journey in the Windy City.
In Part 2 we pick up where we left off in Part 1, at the start of the 20th century. We introduce the character of Peter J. Peel, Chicago soccer's biggest advocate and the founder of the Peel Cup. We then discuss three powerhouse teams that dominated the Chicago Leagues and played on the national stage in these decades: Pullman FC. The Bricklayers and Masons, and Chicago Sparta. We also discuss the role of parks and school in the development of the youth and women's game. Each of these teams were born from and reflected a unique aspect of the Chicago community, and give a window into the politics and culture of the times.
