Grand Olympic Closing, Grand MLS Opening

Susannah is joined this week by newly minted Kickback Soccer Media member and TacticsFreeZone newsletter writer, Matt Doyle for this week’s show. With MLS’s 2026 opening weekend finally here, the duo discuss notable results from the past weekend including LAFC’s decisive victory over Inter Miami and RBNY playing the kids to defeat Orlando City. Josh Sargeant’s impending transfer to Toronto FC is confirmed during recording (Thanks, Tommy Scoops!). A new segment is debuted, Sip or Swipe, where the crew run down which soccer figures they would sit to have a couple of drinks with (and which ones they would not). Stay for Doyle’s A+ impression of Bruce Arena. Our newly introduced voicemail line attracted a number of callers over the weekend with various forms of joy, despair and reflection among fans after Match Day 1. Sooz and Doyle close out the show chatting about the end of the 2026 Winter Olympics including the exhibition gala and the US men’s hockey victory over Canada in the gold medal game.Listen to our shows, subscribe our newsletter at: kickbacksoccer.comSubscribe to TacticsFreeZone: tacticsfreezone.ghost.io01:17 - Doyle joins the Committee and talks about his first weekend as an Independent writer09:21 - Biggest Storylines from MLS Opening Weekend24:53 - Sip or Swipe?39:24 - We listen to your Voicemails55:08 - Olympics Recap58:53 - Close
