The gang is mostly here as we are joined by Gentleman James Grossi to talk about Jahkeel Marshall-Rutty, Heiner-Møller back with Canada Soccer, TFC training and friendlies, CanPL player movements, League 1 Prairies are now a thing, Cyle Larin to leave Feynoord, NSL signings, and we pick our guest’s brains over the state of football, as well as malarkey. In this episode, Mark discovers he’s not the badass of the podcast, Kristin struggled again to say nice things about Cyle but succeeded for the most part, and James is collecting Kristin pronunciation blunders for his personal collection.

Hey guys, I’m Matt, one of the hosts of 4 The Crew, a fan-run Columbus Crew podcast. This preseason we’re doing short Eastern Conference previews, and we’re trying to make them feel like actual supporter conversations instead of generic league talk. For each club, we’re bringing on someone who really represents the fanbase, and I listened to your latest podcast and we’d love to have you jump on and be the voice for Toronto in our preview episode. It’d just be a chill 15–20 minute chat about how the season feels heading in, what fans are hyped or worried about, the big storylines, and anything outsiders might be sleeping on. Nothing formal or debate-y, just fans talking about the sport they love. We record remotely and make sure to plug and share your spot when the episode drops if you guys could do the same. If that sounds fun, let me know and we can line it up. If not, no worries at all. Either way, really appreciate what you guys do, fan voice is make this MLS what it is.
