Straight Red

It's Geoff's birthday (yesterday)!  What did you get him?  Nothing?  Oh well.  Instead Alex and Geoff bring you the gold cup jersey leak, your Kings of Canada, Toronto FC, the future for Dom Kinnear, and the belated return of movie questions.  On that note resend, or send new movie and food questions.  We are out.   #WarOnAlex #Tramp100K   Follow @StraightRedPod on Twitter for dispatches straight from the StraightRedplex.

What's that?  We're still here.  Damn right.  It's Straight Red Episode 109 and the government hasn't shut us down.  Yet.  Instead, we yammer on about World Cup Qualifying, the concept of FC Cincinnati, the virtues of curry, and why, exactly, Denver is God's country.  All that and more in the latest Straight Red.   #WarOnAlex #Tramp100K   Follow @StraightRedPod on Twitter for dispatches straight from the StraightRedplex.

Despite the efforts of fate itself, Straight Red is back!  Enjoy another round of food questions and the oddly named Geoff's Movie Corner as well as barely-informed talk about the state of the Eastern Conference Geoff Cameron's contract extension, and how a little bit of rain can set a construction schedule back by a year. All that and more on the latest Straight Red.    #WarOnAlex #Tramp100K   Follow @StraightRedPod on Twitter for dispatches straight from the StraightRedplex.

We're back!  What did we talk about this time?  The Philadelphia Union finally won a game, the US Open Cup started, The joint World Cup bid is kind of sort of, but not really approved, Miami may or may not exist, and, of course, Alex did a quick inventory of his shirts.  Of course.   Of course.   All that and more on the latest Straight Red.    #WarOnAlex #Tramp100K   Follow @StraightRedPod on Twitter for dispatches straight from the StraightRedplex.

We ran out of food questions, but somehow Alex has conjured up Geoff movie questions and, uh, it gets off track.  But, there is still soccer on this podcast, believe it or not, and we do get to it eventually.  Alex's beloved Newcastle have been promoted which means DeAndre Yedlin is back in the Premier League (maybe), the Copa America will once again have 16 teams, Chicharito may be an LAFC man, and Alex's worst memory from college is the lamest thing ever.   All that and more on the latest Straight Red.    #WarOnAlex #Tramp100K   Follow @StraightRedPod on Twitter for dispatches straight from the StraightRedplex.

The NAFTA World Cup is coming and, brother, it will be one for the ages.  In addition to that we talk about MLS' weird salary cap rules, the second (fourth?) coming of Jack McInerney, and Alex's weird taste in Pixar movies.  It's upsetting, really.   All that and more on the latest Straight Red.    #WarOnAlex #Tramp100K   Follow @StraightRedPod on Twitter for dispatches straight from the StraightRedplex.

They still let us make this?  FINE.  HERE'S ANOTHER ONE, YOU ANIMALS!  This time we talk about the continued failure in CONCACAF Champions League, MLS TV ratings, Schweinsteigerfever in Chicago, and precisely where and how Alex gets his hair cut.  The answer will not surprise you.   All that and more on the latest Straight Red.    #WarOnAlex #Tramp100K   Follow @StraightRedPod on Twitter for dispatches straight from the StraightRedplex.

How much CONCACAF would a CONCACAF CONCACAF if a-- oh, nevermind. Bruce Arena teaches us all to love again, everyone gets injured, and Alex talks about ground up food that a horse would eat. All this and more on this week's Straight Red. #WarOnAlex #Tramp100K   Follow @StraightRedPod on Twitter for dispatches straight from the StraightRedplex.

Normally, this part of the season would be a quiet time, but with RSL Her Coat Jeff Cassar's firing and Bastian Schweinsteiger becoming a Chicago Fire man, we had more than enough to talk about.  But did we stop there?  Of course not.  We also mumbled on and on about world cup qualifiers, Jonathan Klinsmann (the potential golden boy), a baby named Cassius, and what, exactly, a Boiled Dinner is.   The answer surprised us all.   All that and more on the latest Straight Red.    #WarOnAlex #Tramp100K   Follow @StraightRedPod on Twitter for dispatches straight from the StraightRedplex.

Got a fresh USMNT roster for ya.  And a fresh Alex food question for ya.  And a fresh Straight Red for ya.  Oh my, what have you done to deserve this?  Too much sinning?  Probably, but that's not my problem, Ginger.   #WarOnAlex #Tramp100K   Follow @StraightRedPod on Twitter for dispatches straight from the StraightRedplex.

In spite of a spirited and relentless letter-writing campaign your beloved Straight Red has reached 100 episodes.  We refuse to apologize.  Meanwhile MLS is back, Orlando opened a new building, Atlanta and Minnesota got an emphatic "welcome to the league" from unimpressed opponents, Mix and his hair have a new home, and Alex finally answers for his sins.   All that and more in the latest Straight Red   #WarOnAlex #Tramp100K   Follow @StraightRedPod on Twitter for dispatches straight from the StraightRedplex.

We are short on food questions, but that doesn't stop this train of...alright, I ran out of analogies pretty early.  You know who else ran out early?  Owen Coyle, who is once again out of the job.  Plus, we talk about the forthcoming Audi Field in DC, how short Maxi Moralez is, and precisely which transit line goes to Qualcomm Stadium.   All that and more in the latest Straight Red   #WarOnAlex #Tramp100K   Follow @StraightRedPod on Twitter for dispatches straight from the StraightRedplex.

Fredy Montero is back in MLS!  With Vancouver?  Apparently.  Also, Atlanta has sold a boatload of tickets for their home opener, Deuce has been cleared to play, US Soccer has released a somehow even more ugly shirt, and Alex explains what the hell Mornay sauce is.  What a gem.  All that and more in the latest Straight Red.   All that and more in the latest Straight Red   #WarOnAlex #Tramp100K   Follow @StraightRedPod on Twitter for dispatches straight from the StraightRedplex.

The USMNT is back and once again we are mediocre!  But Qualcomm stadium sucks big time.  It's a dump.  My God.  What a disaster.  But in addition to that, we talk about the return of the original Gooch, MLS expansion bids, various sources, and dubious temperature statistics.  All that and more in the latest Straight Red.   All that and more in the latest Straight Red   #WarOnAlex #Tramp100K   Follow @StraightRedPod on Twitter for dispatches straight from the StraightRedplex.

Straight Red is back, baby!  The government has yet to shut us down.  Let's celebrate the opening of the new season of Straight Red (and MLS, I guess) with another insane food take from Alex, the latest on the USMNT, some pre-season personnel moves, and one of the strangest threats ever issued on the podcast.  We'll probably have to apologize for it.   All that and more in the latest Straight Red   #WarOnAlex #Tramp100K   Follow @StraightRedPod on Twitter for dispatches straight from the StraightRedplex.

Seattle is your MLS cup champion and with that the 2016 season is done!  Congratulations to all of us, tbh.  In this episode we also talk about the off season, the prospects of Minnesota and Atlanta, and what exactly is "fancy mayo,"  All that and more in the latest Straight Red.   #WarOnAlex #Tramp100K   Follow @StraightRedPod on Twitter for dispatches straight from the StraightRedplex.

IT'S MLS CUP TIME!!!!  We'll finally find out who is the best city in America.  Seattle or Toronto...I guess.  Look, I don't make the rules.  Plus!  Talk about Atlanta United's latest moves, the shockingly not-dead-yet NASL, and soft cheese.   It's one for the ages, I swear.   All that and mor sin the latest Straight Red.   #WarOnAlex #Tramp100K   Follow @StraightRedPod on Twitter for dispatches straight from the StraightRedplex.

The conference finals are over and the MLS Cup final is set.  Did you pick right?  Probably not.  No one did, but, my God, it was entertaining to watch.  Also, the NASL is on fire for some reason and we try to sort it out.  Plus, Adrian Heath is back on the job, Bruce Arena is too, and Alex has a lot to say about french fries.

Jurgen Klinsmann has been fired and Bruce is back!  A Canadian team will be in the MLS Final!  Chili buns are a type of food! 2016 is officially the strangest year in recorded history (take that, 1215!).  But don't worry, Straight Red is here to walk you through it all.  Put on your headphones and get your doctor-recommended dose of piping-hot food takes and a word or two about soccer.  Guaranteed™.   #WarOnAlex #Tramp100K   Follow @StraightRedPod on Twitter for dispatches straight from the StraightRedplex.

Episode 91, baby!  COME GET SOME!  Canada is somehow the Eastern overlord, the US takes on Mexico, and Alex knows far too much about something called "mother sauces."  It's very uncomfortable.  All that and more in the latest Straight Red.   #WarOnAlex #Tramp100K   Follow @StraightRedPod on Twitter for dispatches straight from the StraightRedplex.
