What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
Summer is pretty much my favorite time to be a sports fan. The biggest soccer tournament of the summer just wrapped up. Baseball's on every night. Racing never takes a weekend off. And my calendar basically revolves around first pitches, green flags, and whatever game everybody's texting about. I realized I'm the MVP of my group. I'm always the friend that says, hey, I've got it. I've got a place. I've got some ice cold Miller lights. I got the TV. I got a big, comfy blue leather couch. Come on over. That's the behavior of a Miller time MVP. I almost never watch the big ones alone. I'd much rather be with my friends. And if I am alone, we're texting. We're sipping on our Miller Lights, toasting the day, toasting the big games.
For me, Miller Light is just a part of a big game routine. It's brewed for taste with simple ingredients, clean, refreshing, and easy to drink, especially in the Miami heat. It's a true American Pilsner and the original light beer since 1975. An all-American summer starts with an all-American beer, Miller Lite. Go to MillerLite.com slash Dan to find delivery options near you. Or you can pick up some Miller Lite pretty much anywhere they sell beer. It's Miller time. Celebrate responsibly.

It's a good song before you ruined it. So anyway, where am I supposed to go with that? What are you doing to me there? Where am I supposed to go?
Zaslow Show 2.0, wherever you get your podcasts.
Wouldn't it be nice if just LeBron would announce where he's going right about now? Steer us in a completely different direction. So we all saw with the World Cup ending, you know, the MLS has that commercial. We'll take it from here. Did you see what happened in the Inter-Miami game last night? Boy, did they ever.
Dude. All right, so I want to have a discussion about where soccer goes from here. I found myself missing the World Cup. You guys remember that? It was awesome. World Cup was great, man. World Cup was terrific. I'm going to miss it. But it's very clear that the United States only seems to have an appetite for international soccer played at the very highest level. Like, we'll get up for a World Cup.
I mean, that's... That's what our other sports are in this country, right? We have the best baseball, obviously American football. We have the best American football. We have the best basketball. We have the best hockey. So doesn't that make sense that we would really just want the best soccer?
It does. But we're also not ready to put the work in and build something out, which is what MLS's real problem is in that they got to make a huge investment, spend far too much money and guarantee that you're never going to get all the biggest stars. It's not going to be like that because there are so many formed leagues that make huge amounts of revenue. You're going to be competing against Real Madrid. By the way, Inter-Miami got into trouble. There's tampering charges being filed against Inter-Miami.
Yeah, because it's the shadiest franchise. Look, let Inter-Miami win. I'm fine with it. Obviously, it's a local team.
Are you familiar with what the charge is over, though, the tampering?
Yeah, it's like salary cap stuff.
It's because MLS. It's a shady organization. No, MLS is dumb. MLS is dumb. Discovery rights is what they're in trouble for. Are other teams getting pinged for this in MLS? It's a stupid thing that shouldn't exist. LA Galaxy discovered Casemiro? How did they discover him? They put on the Premier League one day and were like, hey, that guy's pretty good. That's our guy. Dibs. Dibs. Hey, this Messi guy is pretty good. Dibs. What is that?
I know, but the point that I'm making is it continues to be inter-Miami that gets pinged for supposed rules violations.
Yes, and the violations that they have are stupid. I think in some cases, like the Matuidi, they're clear. But it's also because inter-Miami's ownership group is an ownership group that... Like you say, you want MLS to be the best. You want them to spend a lot of money.
