In the ASB Season 2 Premier, Alex & Jordan welcomed S.F.O.P., Sounders supporter, & Minnesota United season ticket holder Peter Granlund on the show to share his musings about the forthcoming 2019 MLS season. The trio discussed the changing league dynamic, high profile player signings & departures, new comers FC Cincinnati, and the new stadium in Minnesota. All three lads also gave their overall 2019 season predictions and even ranked their top 3 favorite kits from the 2019 collection.

After a summer hiatus, ASB returns with a two part special! ASB On Tour 2018, is the first time Jordan & Alex have ever been able to podcast in the same room (even though it was a car), along with SFOP Mike Wheeler. In Part I, Alex, Jordan and Mike reflect on a World Cup without the USMNT, and how US Soccer will look going forward in this new cycle.
As World Cup 2018 kicks off in Russia today, Alex and Jordan mourn US Soccer's absence. Yet, they also were able to look on the bright side thanks to Dave Sarachan recent success with younger players during the pre-World Cup matches. The boys gave their predicts of who will win it all in Russia, while also highlighting FC Cincinatti's exciting introduction to MLS for 2019, and even USL's latest expansion side in New Mexico.
