Sunset Soccer Club Ep 2: MLS Playoffs, Champions League Action, and Weston McKennie

It’s Episode #2 of The Sunset Soccer Club.We kick this episode off with some news and observations from a big Tuesday of action in the Champions League, featuring Real Madrid vs Liverpool and PSG vs Bayern Munich. Liverpool looks to have found their form, while Bayern proves they belong in the conversation with the top teams in the tournament. Our guest this week is none other than Arman Kafai, writer of the Football Analytics Musings newsletter on Substack, discussing the drama of the MLS Playoffs. With five of the eight series of first-round matches headed to a decisive third game, Arman shares his thoughts on whether or not Cincinnati FC can bounce back, Portland’s scrapiness vs San Diego, and the colossal failure it would be for Inter Miami not to advance. The show wraps up with our USMNT Player Profile of the week. This edition takes a look at Weston McKennie, the hometown kid from Little Elm, TX, playing for Juventus in Serie A.
