Total Soccer Show: USMNT, Champions League, EPL, and more ...

Jeff Reuter takes a break from covering all the soccer to discuss... all the soccer. We spend the first 2 segments of the show discussing Canada and the USA's respective performances at the Gold Cup, and also take a look at the USMNT's semifinal matchup with Guatemala. After that, we break down the MLS All-Star selections, ponder the arrival of Timo Werner and mourn the departure of Olivier Giroud.
