Is MLS facing its biggest challenge yet? The USL's new tier system and promotion/relegation model are putting pressure on MLS to prove its worth in its 30th anniversary season. With Messi in the league and the Club World Cup on the horizon, MLS must showcase its best product to avoid being seen as the "fool of the footballing world."
Hosts Hector Flores and Kelcey Coyne dive into the complexities of American soccer, discussing the pay-to-play system, grassroots development, and the cultural perception of the sport. They explore how the USL's move could reshape the landscape of US soccer and force MLS to adapt or risk losing ground.

Lots of new learnings coming out about Tidewater Landing. Plus we’ll talk about some preseason results against a certain club in Connecticut, and what pundits around the league believe RIFC will accomplish in their second season of play.
To kick off Season 2 of the United Soccer Lounge, we start with the Manager of Naples FC, Matt Poland. However, before that, welcome back to the show John Morrissey of USLTactics.com to talk about the news of USL’s new First Division.
As for Matt, the former professional player in Finland and Sweden was the former manager of Chicago House AC in the Midwestern Premier League. With House, he orchestrated a US Open Cup run that included a win over Forward Madison and a tough match with Chicago Fire. We chat about the kind of player he’s looked for as he builds a roster from scratch, how to sell Florida to the players he’s trying to sign, and how his playing days impact his managerial style.
