How about a team in Canada?"},"content":{"rendered":"

It’s been a long time since an episode of Soccer 2 the Max<\/strong><\/a> came out, but Erik Watkins, Rachael Kriger and Sean Garmer are BACK! Soccer 2 the Max has taken a more organized approach, with Sean once again hosting the show.<\/p>\n

First in the show is the Headlines segment. In this segment, Rachael talks about the NWSL, and why it needs VAR implemented. Sean brings up how beautiful it was to see fans in the stands — packing the stands, really — in Europe. Meanwhile, Erik takes a look at the Cristiano Ronaldo situation with Juventus-PSG-Real Madrid.<\/p>\n

The next segment is What We Watched. As shocking as it may seem, Rachael takes the time to talk about the greatest rivalry in MLS: Seattle Sounders vs. Portland Timbers, and how giddy she was staying up past her bedtime to watch the Sounders score six goals. Meanwhile, Sean details some Leagues Cup action while Erik raves about Manchester United over Leeds.<\/p>\n

In between the next segment, the trio takes a look at some hot-topics in the world of soccer, including the possibility of Canada getting an NWSL team. All three podcasters agree that Canada needs an NWSL team and should look at Toronto or Vancouver. Erik gets into numbers when talking about UEFA proposing a salary cap with a luxury tax.<\/p>\n

Finally, the segment where the three hosts really get to shine, is the Supporters Club. This is where the three get to really dig into their favorite clubs and celebrate them.<\/p>\n
