There was a new DP taking the field (LA’s Steven Gerrard) and a new team atop the Shield standings after Week 20 (FC Dallas), but one thing in MLS remains unchanged: Sporting Kansas City is still statistically the best team in MLS and
Benny Feilhaber
is their best player and a league MVP candidate. The USMNT veteran joins ETR after an eventful weekend: another goal and assist for SKC and a spot on the MLS All-Star gameday roster … for the first time! What’s responsible for Feilhaber’s resurgence? And is a USMNT return around the corner?  




Meanwhile, the final four are set in the CONCACAF Gold Cup and the USA and Mexico are still alive. But will the regional giants meet their match in the semis? Find out about US semifinal opponents Jamaica through star left back and New York Red Bulls newcomer
Kemar Lawrence
, who shares his Copa America experience, his path to MLS and the key to beating the USMNT.




In the final segment, David, Arielle, Ben and Simon discuss the new faces of the upcoming EA Sports FIFA ’16, the man who made it rain at FIFA HQ and the definition of the “farby.”
