Hello! In this episode of The USL Show, the crew talks about the USL and which teams are making the big news early. One Knox is signing every player, Phoenix is losing them left and right, and Omaha is searching for a new coach. That’s only a fraction of what is happening around the USL! Who is currently winning the offseason? Will they win the post season? Normally no, but it’ll be different this year!
