    Exquisite
    Behind the scenes, insights, highlights, humor, and official. I give the MLS props in giving Taylor the freedom and reigns to this project. His clear joy is contagious and genuine, something I’m glad that the league is doing across the board. God bless you all🙌

    Fun to listen to except for the language
    This is a high energy show that is fun to help me relive the 2023 League’s Cup with Messi and friends. The only problem for me is the language which has gotten progressively worse after the first 4 or 5 episodes. Maybe it’s cause I’m a woman but I have no room for that language in my life. Taylor I love you man! You’re my favorite announcer and I wish you were covering every Inter Miami game! But I’ll skip the show for now. Let me know if you guys find a bar of soap for your mouths. 😉🧼😂

    Not for beginners
    I’m brand new to soccer and MLS (yeah I’m one of those Ted Lasso people) and while I’m sure those who have been into MLS for a long time get something out of this podcast, it’s just not for beginners like me. Referencing players and games from 10 years ago and name dropping coaches like we should know who they are. I get so lost that I tune out the whole episode. Especially being at the start of the new season, with all the new fans joining, i wish he’d offer a little more context for what he’s saying.

    Insight
    Love the insight into the game you get from TT and his guests. The conversations are light hearted but also deep at times which is a nice balance in life and a pod.
  • Big nob rob
    Please make this go away
    Just another analyst talking gibberish and pushing the mls script. Putting in the bare minimum - can’t wait till this is cancelled
  • NeilStew22
    Great Inside Look
    I am continually impressed by this podcast. The guests and interviews are fantastic. Cool behind the scenes stories, good analysis, and very well produced. It has gotten me hyped to watch teams I normally wouldn’t.

    Everything you could want as an MLS and Soccer fan!
    You could say I am biased since Taylor Twellman has always been one of my favorite USMNT players. However.. I feel I have learned and fallen in love with the beautiful game more from the insight Taylor always brings with his intelligent view point. This podcast is incredibly well done and allows you as a fan to dive deeper into what makes players, coaches, and MLS tick. Rich story telling and is what every true MLS and soccer fan could ever want. I feel more connected to players and teams I love and am able to gain more insight and appreciation to others I did not even know about. Will always be a fan, thank you Taylor and everyone else who makes this a joy to listen to!

    Beautiful commentary & personality
    Taylor Hellman is one of the best commentators as well as articulated spokesperson. He’s real, raw, and heartfully honest. I cannot put into words how much I appreciate this podcast and everything it has to offer. Thank you Taylor. You’re a gem.

    Needed Content.
    Taylor is great and delivers quality information. Would love to see this become the go-to pod for MLS and American soccer as a whole.

    A Singularly Focus Podcast on M(essi)LS
    Taylor has the potential to offer an insider’s look at the league, from the standpoint of a former player as well as Apple’s shining gem game commentator. Twellmanately, Mr. Twellman fails to make use of his insider status to help grow MLS and instead chooses to focus on a singular player, letting the rising tide of MLS’s popularity lift a single ship. It’s understandable that the spotlight should be shone on one of the greatest soccer players; however, the focus shouldn’t be so singular as to completely ignore the league he plays in. Even on a week when the prodigal soccer son doesn’t play (and his team loses a final), he is still somehow the main topic of conversation. Listeners are given just a glimpse of how great this podcast could be by a previous episode featuring Wilfried Nancy, Columbus Crew FC head coach, offering a valuable look at the league from a rarely heard point of view. Regrettably that type of interview and access appears to be an outlier as the following week Taylor’s focus is to interview a sportswriter and former radio host based out of… Miami with the topic of discussion being solely focused on Messi in-between putting down the sport with talking points sounding as if they were from your average non-soccer fan who thinks Pulisic still plays for Dortmund. Rather than focusing on the goal of the league, Taylor leans back to look at the soccer Son and misses the goal. So close.

    Nancy’s Crew
    Taylor - great series of interviews regarding the Columbus Crew. Loved the insights with Nancy regarding his golf game, etc. As a Crew supporter I appreciate that you have an appreciation of what is happening in Cbus. Also enjoy that your pods are not too long, very enjoyable. Future teams that I would recommend include; Philly Union (always interesting), Real SL (what new owners have going), Houston (things are positive there too).
  • Brentford football is life
    Great MLS pod
    Love how this podcast breaks the game down & goes into depth about the whose who in the MLS & USMNT
  • fj.30
    Love Taylor
    Great host, love listening to what Taylor + guests have to say. Go soccer!
  • Pan D'Yuca
    Too woke
    If you like CNN, incomplete stories, obfuscation, and lies in news then you will love this podcast.
  • OwenScott
    We get it.
    I think Messi is the GOAT too, but do you have any new insights.
  • dja4336
    Getting tired!!
    Enough with Miami. There are many other teams and talent in the MLS. I think you have a man crush on you know who.
  • MichaelAnthonyButler
    Riding Messi’s 🍆
    Never have I heard a grown man ride another’s d!ck as hard as Taylor ride’s Messi’s! And I’m gay! 😂 Seriously, I get that Messi is the GOAT, but he acts like an obsessed little girl and doesn’t talk about anything else going on in the League. Pod could be much better.
  • Boise_hero
    Great show
    Been a great start to the show ! I can’t get enough
  • Hippie_Chick_SC
    I love that US soccer is taking off
    And I love TT passion and knowledge of football. It’s makes for the perfect podcast which I’m loving. Your last episode where you talk about how Messi fever is turning so many people into fans of US soccer is spot on. I have friends who have questioned my obsession with football over the years watching this sport now because of the Messi fever and loving it. They text me asking when is the next match and signed up for Apple + MLS.

    Amazing Pod for MLS
    I have been watching the MLS grow since the days of Valderrama on Miami Fusion. It’s been a slow growth up until the last 5 or so years and I would say as an MLS figure, Taylor is the best there is. He calls the games, tells the truth, has the energy and this pod encompasses everything. Thank you Taylor for pushing US soccer and don’t stop doing the pod!
  • GabrielW1977
    More Messi!!!
    Finally a great MLS focused podcast.
  • MSUBear42
    STL Legend
    Taylor is from America’s Soccer Capital, St. Louis, so you knew this pod would be good.
  • Jhsherman
    MLS is trash.
    MLS ensures all major issues in US soccer are maintained and it has functionally captured control of USSF to do its bidding to eliminate competition.
  • DeanRic
    Broaden the scope please.
    I’m very much enjoying Taylor sharing his in depth knowledge in podcast form with his direct and animated approach. I appreciate that this project launched during the Messi debut and that’s been the primary topic by default. As we return to regular season I’m going to be looking for more broad discussions across the league, players and coaches. That’ll push my rating higher. Thank TT!
  • JakeH210
    Not all Messi
    I think the show has been pretty great. It is annoying that all anyone talks about is Messi though. Apple TV is seriously lacking in its coverage of anything not Messi, but I think Taylor recognizes this and is trying to give us a little extra. Just a reminder to Apple, there are other teams in this league and they have fans too.
  • KimJohnChill
    Love the Pod
    Always been a big fan of TT, a great voice for US soccer! Love the show
  • Crossly road addict
    Da best
    Great show love every second !
  • PapiShmpoo
    Much better quality than Extratime
    Glad he made the jump to Apple. We need more MLS coverage and I’m glad Twellman is here for years to come.
  • gerardo-guzman
    Thank you
    I like your show and I like your style. If I had a request, I would say please speak a bit more about the Mexican league and sharing those stories as well.

    Because he is telling so much information about Messi he giving so much reason about him amazing
  • PenName69
    Oh Taylor
    He’s not a bad soccer analyst. But he just can’t stop pushing far left wing politics into every conversation. It’s embarrassing how he just keeps creating divisions for soccer fans. Wish the pod was good. It’s not.
  • GlobalALS
    I’d rather listen to a screaming baby
    At least a baby has an excuse for being immature, ear piercing, and headache inducing. The most dangerous place I. The world is between Taylor and a camera/microphone. Narcissistic, impervious to criticism, and lacking knowledge when it comes to the Laws of the Game. Taylor is just plain bad for the growth of soccer in America.
  • WDNx
    There are 856 players in MLS, yet only one is being discussed
    I get that Messi coming to MLS is a huge deal, but if TT doesn’t start talking about some of the other teams, players, and stories in MLS I’m going to unsubscribe in a hurry. Yes, you will need to talk about Messi, especially after a big performance like we just saw in Dallas, but don’t make it exclusively about him.
  • J-Red59
    Great show!
    Love all the discussions we’ve had so far! Keep it coming!
  • Mike VV.
    Great insights from Taylor and great guests
    Thank you, Taylor and MLS and all your guests for this great podcast. You provide wonderful, energetic insights into the beautiful game… MLS, Leagues Cup, World Cup, and more… thank you for the honest assessments that acknowledge the validity (and lack ther of) different perspectives. Looking forward to much good listening for many years to come. Thank you!
  • ZachB23
    Taylor is awesome
    The more reins Apple gives him the better this show will be. If he continues to be the Twellman we’ve known from days past, should be some rigor to his takes 👍
  • Creegran
    Great guests, great host, great convos.
    Taylor always bring passion and enthusiasm to his football / soccer commentary. You can hear and see his love of the game in everything he does. Even with only a handful of episodes, I can tell this going to be a weekly listen for me. Can’t wait to hear more.
  • Balanc3
    Fun
    Good content, TT is as passionate as ever. I am not here to complain about more US soccer content
  • BakFTL
    First class Pro
    Taylor is the Tony Romo pf MLS. His insight and knowledge as a color commentator is always “spot on”. He has an uncanny ability to call things out way before it happens. Just like former Dallas QB Tony Romo and now NFL sportscaster/presenter. I am sure his new Podcast will be excellent. We are blessed to have his talent now on Apple TV And Apple Podcasts for years to come. Amen. Love Taylor!
  • MilesHartsfield
    Excellent show!
    Love the show. I have been looking for a good show that covers American soccer and I found it. I love Taylor Twellman and I am looking forward to more excellent content.
  • featherst1
    Brilliant
    Ranks among the top two or three MLS centric podcast available. No wait… ranks among the top five soccer/football podcast. Full stop. This medium was made for Twellman. The Rebecca Lowe show was entertaining and insightful.
  • BitAstronaut
    Love the direction
    The episode with Mas on Inter Miami was amazing - keep it up!
  • carroll e

  • yank20
    Very Entertaining
    Hopefully this podcast continues for the foreseeable future. Keep up the great work.
  • Doobiebrother619
    Good so far, Could’ve come up with a better name
    Already a soccer podcast with basically the same name (caught offside)
  • smarmit
    Great Passion!
    I’ve always love Taylor’s passion for US soccer and he brings that here! That along with his connections, this is, and will continue to be, a great podcast.
  • Stevejw7
    Good Start
    I like that this show is quick and packs a lot of information. Taylor is passionate and doesn’t do a lot of fluff. The first two episodes are good listens and enjoyable. Looking forward to seeing where TT takes this show in the future.
  • Messiiyyii
