We talk to fellow Brit and long-term broadcaster Sophie Nicolaou.
The Beckham effect, the change in profile of women's football and watching soccer the American way, are all covered in this lively discussion by two soccer-loving ex-pats.
Sophie talks about her love of Arsenal, how MLS has grown and we discuss whether the women's club game would grow more quickly if the team's were affiliated to existing men's clubs.
We also talk about MLS rivalries, Zlatan and the rise of the USL.
