Total Soccer Show: USMNT, Champions League, EPL, and more ...

On today’s show, Taylor, Ryan, Graham, and Joe answer your wonderful listener questions! From USMNT depth charts to transfer minutiae, there was plenty to get to. You can find the full list of questions that we answered down below!

1) When club options are included in transfers, can a player reject the option by refusing to agree to a new contract?

2) What is the FC Dallas academy doing differently than everyone else?

3) How did the Gold Cup shake up our USMNT depth charts?

4) Why are soccer trophies called “silverware"? Why silver instead of gold?

5) Do soccer teams ever have spotters in the stands to help give managers a better idea of what's happening on the field?

6) How can an offensive team force a defensive team to “chase shadows”? And if your team has been shadow chasing, what can they do to fix that?
