MLS Wins and Losses. Week 9
As always, you can get the audio version of this with interruptions and diversions by listening to this week’s Vocal Minority Podcast, out soon. We’ll start this week with the top of the Eastern conference where the 4 teams who’ve so far shown themselves to be above the desperate scramble for 5th and 6th played against each other this week.
