Live from Copa America | Episode 1 TDS

From Atlanta we talk to Simon Evans, US Soccer Correspondent with AFP, about the upcoming Copa America tournament and the teams to watch. We preview the opening match between Argentina and Canada, the potential of the US team (despite their tough group), and the challenges faced by Mexico. Who are the standout players to watch, including Lionel Messi and young talents such as Endrick? Mexico is going through a challenging period and needs a strong performance in the tournament. South America continues to produce incredible talent, and the tournament is an opportunity to discover new stars. "There's something different about seeing him play for Argentina than there is seeing him play in MLS." - Simon Evans "South America still produces an incredible amount of talent that always ends up going to Europe." - Simon Evans Thanks for listening to The Daily Soccer !

Will People Still Watch MLS?

The ‘ Summer of Soccer’ is upon us with Euro games all day and Copa America matches all night. Even stranger than having the two biggest continental tournaments running simultaneously – is that MLS is playing through it all. It’s nothing new, MLS plays through the CONCACAF Gold Cup and even World Cups and in general ignores the FIFA windows for international breaks. There’s no other top soccer league in the world does this. Should MLS change its approach, or is it not an issue? Narrated from the original newsletter [https://www.thedailysoccer.com/p/why-cant-mls-ever-catch-a-break]. Enjoy! This is a public episode.
