The 2025 Major League Soccer season is just around the corner.  Just like every year we are all excited to see what the new season holds for our Claret and Cobalt. Before a the first whistle blows everything is still possible. From lifting the MLS Cup to everything in between. Good or bad. Exhilarating or generational trauma inducing losses. Damn you Humberto Suazo and Aurélien Collin.

So in the interest of full disclosure and idiotic courage, here are our thoughts on the upcoming season. We asked each other questions on the podcast and this how we divine the future. No sooth’s or sayers were injured in the process.

See if you agree with our answers and whether or not you agree or disagree with any of the RSL Random Fan Podcast hosts more than prescient answers.

So there you have it. We stuck our necks out again and put it black and white. Over the last few seasons we have been pretty good at gauging wether or not RSL will have a decent season and hopefully this year is the same. Maybe you agree, maybe you don’t. Either way we can not wait for that first whistle to blow and the season is under way. Hopefully we wont hear the last whistle of the season until December.
