Waiting for Messi, Leagues Cup Excitement, USWNT Start World Cup

The boys do the Thursday night thing ahead of Lionel Messi's debut for Inter Miami and the start of the World Cup for the USWNT.  Jason and Jared debate the value of the weird new competition that is stopping MLS for a month, the Leagues Cup (spoiler: Jared thinks it's trash and Nick's not big on it either).  Note about the audio quality: It's a little rougher than usual because Jason is in Puerto Rico visiting La Familia. Don't worry, the content is still top-notch.  Make sure you check out our bonus stuff and support the show at patreon.com/thebestsoccershow.
