THIS IS THE PENULTIMATE JD & THE ROD. But don't worry. The boys will explain everything, including when the launch of the resurrected Best Soccer Show will happen (#BSSIsBack). CONCACAF has settled on a qualifying format (THE OCTAGONAL) and Jason and Jared have some nickname suggestions.

There's a breakdown of the #MLSIsBack quarterfinal matchups, with some thoughts on the teams and their performances so far. Join the Cult of Almeyda today!

The boys also hit on the NWSL Challenge Cup final, the joys of lockerroom celebrations and the new women's team coming to Los An-hel-es. 

This is Los Anheles, I need more than talent. I need stars. Enjoy the party. 

Check out Cincinnati Soccer Talk, Nicky Soup-and-Sausage's FC Cincinnati podcast. 

We have a Patreon page where you can support the show, join our JD&TR community, and get access to bonus content--we put out a second show every week just for Patrons. Check it out.

Stay tuned for info on the new show feed. It's coming soon. 

Go get yourself a t-shirt at On The Volley Apparel. We're not going to make any more JD & The Rod shirts, so these are about to be collector items.
