We break down the North London Derby (Arsenal v. Tottenham), plus: Klinnsman released his roster for the USNMT's Italy friendlyso we do the rest and pick his XI, Stuart Pearce did the same England's game against Holland, Liverpool pursued the first of the coveted Cup Double and AC Milan took on Juventus in a top of the table clash.

Albert, Josh, and Peyton took to the studio inspired by the upcoming NBA All-Star Game to discuss the MLS version.  If we were Don Garber for a day what would we change?  Would we bring back the skills competition?  Would we keep playing European opposition?  Or would we completely revamp the event?

Also on the show:  Josh interviews Richmond Kickers Head Coach Leigh Cowlishaw about new developments in the club's youth system, Carols Tevez apologizes, Eddie Johnson tells us his side of the story, and would we rather see Liverpool win a cup or play Champions League? 

We review Barcelona's 5-1 win over Valencia, paying special attention to Cesc Fabregas: Can he replace Xavi? If so, why was Pep so mad at him? We also debate Arsene Wenger's situation: Is it time he left? We go over the MLS trade-a-thon that was Brian Ching and Eddie Johnson's non-committal stay in Montreal, and we close out the show with a dramatic round of The Wikipedia Game.

With Daryl gone to sort out his beloved Wolves, Albert, Josh, and Peyton took to the studio to discuss the return of the Champions League.  What is our favorite non-Liverpool moment from the competition?  Who do we see winning the whole thing?  Are we hypocrites?

Also on the show: Donovan leaves Everton, Africa crowns a champion, the USNMT reveals a jersey, Rangers are administered, and some Wikipedia domination.

We discuss the Total Soccer Show Game of the Week: the English El Clasico, Manchester United v. Liverpool.  Despite what you may have read there was in fact a match after the pregame controversy.

Also on the show: England have named a manager...an interim manager, Donovan stikes again, D.C. United have a new D.P., and the U.S. may get another crack at the Copa America.

We head into the soccer-themed way back machine again, this time to select our soccer team of the 1980s. Drawing inspiration from Bilardo's 1986 World Cup winning Argentina we go with a 3-5-2 formation. Maradona, Platini and Zico will be running the show but who's going to joing them?

Also on the show: We discuss Fabio Capello's England resignation. 

Taylor interviews veteran journalist James Dorsey, asking him to put the recent tragic events in Egypt in context for us. Dorsey is an expert in international affairs and also writes the blog The Turbulent World of Middle East Soccer. Listen in to learn where and how Egyptian soccer intersects with Egyptian politics.

Every time people watch, play in or coach a soccer game, someone has a problem with a refereeing decision.  On today's show we welcome back referee Scott Zawadzki to help shed some light on the rules of the beautiful game. Is a two footed tackle a red? Do refs have a certain style? Would El Clasico be different with Scott in the middle?

Also on the show: Josh interviews Aswhim Chaudhary and Jon Korn, creators of the documentary "Laduma: One Goal," which chronicles the fan experience following the USMNT at World Cup 2010. Plus: some bad news for WPS and another TSS announcement.
