It is a Tuesday, and that means that Filibuster is back for your enjoyment. Jason, Ben, and Adam have to take some time to talk about Copa Concacaf and the failure of the USMNT and Jurgen Klinsmann to qualify for the 2017 Confederations Cup. We talk about how at least the game was exciting for neutrals, how it was close on the scoreboard but not on the field, how the USMNT hasn't improved since the World Cup, and who should stay and who should go. We then talk about tonight's game between the USMNT and Costa Rica, but we're mostly just talking more about the general state of the USMNT. We talk about Fabian Johnson being sent home, Klinsmann's statements vs. his reality, and whether or not he should be fired from either his technical director or head coach jobs. Finally, we address the strawman of whether or not there is anyone who could possibly replace Jurgen. We then turn to D.C. United and talk about this weekend's game versus the Chicago Fire. We talk about Harry Shipp actually being played in position, Matt Polster being played all over, Steve Birnbaum versus Kofi Opare, and how to beat the Fire. It is a jam packed episode, so give it a listen!

It is Tuesday so it means another Filibuster to which you can listen! Adam, Jason, and Ben talk about D.C. United's 2-1 comeback win over New York City FC. We talk about the play of Chris Pontius, Alvaro Saborio coming off of the bench, Sean Franklin, the silliness that was the MLS team of the week (which featured no D.C. United players), and D.C. United giving up early goals. We then have to talk about this weekend's Concacaf Cup between the USMNT and Mexico. We talk about the team, the 3-5-2, Jurgen Klinsmann, and the roster that Jurgen decided to bring with him for this game. Finally, we talk about the state of the MLS playoff race, and how the Eastern Conference is basically already decided except for the seedings. Give it a listen!

It is the 150th episode of Filibuster, so to celebrate that fact we bring you a completely regular show! Adam, Jason, and Ben are joined by Donald, who regales us with the view from the stands of D.C. United versus Montego Bay United FC in the Concacaf Champions League. We talk about the game, the subs that Ben Olsen sent, and whether Travis Worra was close to coming on as a field player in that game. We then have to talk about the sadness that was the 2-0 loss to the Montreal Impact. We talk Markus Halsti, Steve Birnbaum, and Didier Drogba, first. We then move to a more general discussion, talking about D.C. United and the playoffs, can they turn it around in time to actually do something in said playoffs, and whether or not they need a wholesale lineup change at this point. Finally, we talk about D.C. United's Friday game against NYCFC. We talk about New York's midfield of Frank Lampard and Andrea Pirlo, Thomas McNamara, and what D.C. United needs to do to get a point. Give it a listen!

D.C. United are on a five game winless streak, but Filibuster shows up week in and week out. Ben, Jason, and Adam are here, and we're pretty sad. We talk about D.C. United's state of mind after the the loss to Columbus Crew SC, break down the two goals scored by Crew SC, and talk about whether Steve Birnbaum or Kofi Opare should be starting next to Bobby Boswell. We end this game by talking about Alvaro Saborio and by trying to puzzle out Ben Olsen's subsistute patterns. We then briefly touch on tonight's Concacaf Champions League game, asking who we want to see play and whether or not Perry Kitchen, who is suspended on the weekend, should play. We end the show by talking about the Montreal Impact, starting off with the suspended Marco Donadel. We then talk about the player who didn't play in the last game between these two teams: Can United stop Didier Drogba, and how will they do so if they can. We then finish by talking about the roles that Taylor Kemp and Michael Farfan will have in this game. Give it a listen!

D.C. United is back in action, and so is the Filibuster podcast! We start by talking about the beige game that was D.C. United versus the Colorado Rapids. We ask whether it was good defense or bad offense, look at both D.C. United and the Colorado Rapids' substitute patterns, and dissect Ben Olsen's quote about this being the beginning of what he wants to see. We hen talk D.C. United versus the Columbus Crew, because we talked about tonight's Arabe Unido game on last week's podcast. We talk about United's central midfield, what has been up with the Crew recently, and whether or not United will need to play with more alacrity in this game. Finally, we go around the Eastern Conference and look at the current playoff picture. We talk about the New York Red Bulls diving to victory, the New England Revolution, a brief interlude to talk about NYCFC, Montreal Impact vs. Toronto FC, and the Eastern Conference run-in. Give it a listen!

Welcome to another Wednesday edition of Filibuster, which we record while watching USMNT vs. Brazil. We talk about USMNT vs. Peru, the difference between the first half and the second half, the defense, and whether or not the USMNT's success in friendlies is a myth rather than reality. We then move back into MLS and talk about D.C. United's upcoming trip to Colorado to face the Rapids. We talk about their weird season so far, their ridiculous roster, their midweek game against a conference foe, and we break open the Twitterbox to ask, among other things, whether or not it is time to panic for D.C. United. Finally, we talk about D.C. United's next CCL game, occuring next Tuesday, when Arabe Unido comes to town. We ask who D.C. United should play in that game, whether or not they should play more of their starters in it, and what Arabe Unido will try and do in this game. Give it a listen!

No one expects a Wednesday Filibuster! Our chief weapon is surprise. Surprise, and Adam. Surprise, Adam, and Jason. No. Amongst our weapons are Surprise, Adam, Jason, Ben, and a fanatical devotion to a stupid bit. Unfortunately, we have to talk about D.C. United's 0-3 disaster in Harrison; we talk about the central midfield and the central defense, whether Ben Olsen needs a tactical shift and whether he needs to use this upcoming bye week to shorten his roster. We also talk about happier things: D.C. United's 3-0 win over Montego Bay United in the Concacaf Champions League. We start by talking about Michael Farfan and move onto talking about Conor Doyle, Miguel Aguilar, and Luke Mishu and Jalen Robinson, asking if any of them could be making MLS appearances down the stretch of the season. We get off on a USL tangent, which leads us right into our third segment... ...in which we go around the league, starting with Bruce Arena and the LA Galaxy. We talk about what has happened to San Jose (in a good way) and Sporting Kansas City (in a bad way), the Montreal Impact winning the coach firing race, the Seattle Sounders are in trouble, Toronto FC and Giovinco, and the hilarious mess that is NYCFC. Give it a listen!

Happy United Day and Happy Filibuster Day! Adam, Jason, and Ben return to talk about the debacle that was the San Jose Earthquakes game. We ask if the other shoe dropped in this game (or if it had already dropped), the problem that was the defense in general and Kofi Opare particularly, the lack of ideas across the midfield and attack, whether or not Alvaro Saborio scoring would have changed things, and Davy Arnaud. We then talk about the Concacaf Champions League and games both past and future. We talk about Michael Farfan's play and his backheel, the reserves in general, and whether or not someone may be able to vault into the first time from this game. Finally, we talk about the Atlantic Cup and the New York Red Bulls. We mention Dax McCarty, Shaun Wright-Phillips, getting pressure and pressured in the midfield, and who from United needs to step up in this game. Give it a listen!

It is Tuesday, and that means there is another Filibuster for your listening pleasure. Jason, Ben, and Donald are here to break down what went wrong against New York City FC, and we start off by talking about the central midfield. We talk about how this was a long time coming, the injury to Chris Korb, our disappointment in Alvaro Saborio's hold up play, and we ask Donald how Yankee Stadium was for soccer. We then move on to tomorrow night's Concacaf Champions League game gainst Arabe Unido. We talk about their first CCL game, how D.C. United will line up against them. We talk about how Kofi Opare, Jared Jeffrey, and Jairo Arrieta have to come through, since Chad Ashton will be starting backups for this game. Finally, we talk about Saturday's game against the San Jose Earthquakes. We talk about Chris Wondolowski as a midfielder, Anibal Godoy, and Clarence Goodson's goalscoring form. Give it a listen!

A Tuesday Filibuster for your listening pleasure! Adam, Jason, and Ben talk about D.C. United's historic 1-0 win over the Montreal Impact, and we have to start with Bill Hamid. We then ask whether or not we were happy with this game, despite the win, ask if anything changed when Conor Doyle came on the field for Nick DeLeon, and discuss what should be the forward pairing against New York City FC given what happened against Montreal. We then welcome on Rafael Noboa y Rivera from SB Nation's NYCFC site Hudson River Blue. We start by asking him about Tommy McNamara, who was cruelly stolen from D.C. United in the expansion draft. We ask him who has been the best player in light blue so far this year, the team's deficienies, how bad Mix Diskerud has been this year, and how Frank Lampard is the team's original sin. We close by asking him about the leaky back four. Give it a listen!
