Real Salt Lake was seconds away from a huge road victory before a late stoppage-time goal turned three points into one. Matt breaks down RSL's frustrating 1-1 draw with Minnesota United, why the Claret and Cobalt are still exceeding expectations, and what their surprising position in the Western Conference means heading into the World Cup break.
Then it's time to discuss the biggest talking point surrounding the United States Men's National Team roster. Diego Luna was left off Mauricio Pochettino's World Cup squad despite becoming a regular part of the national team setup. Was Luna truly snubbed? And why wasn't Zavier Gozo ready for the call?
Matt also gives some well-deserved love to the Utah Royals, who continue to be one of soccer's best success stories this season.
Finally, a more personal conversation. Bungie has officially ended support for Destiny 2, bringing one of gaming's most influential franchises to a close. Matt reflects on the impact Destiny had on his life, friendships, podcasting journey, and why saying goodbye to one of his favorite gaming worlds is harder than expected.
