In this first edition of the State of the Union of American Soccer, Dylan Baker interviews Jon Townsend, one of the most prolific writers on American soccer in the United States. Jon speaks on the intricacies of the U.S. system, both at the national and domestic league levels, and discusses where we've gone wrong. Focusing on how the United States Soccer Federation organizes (or fails to organize) at every level of play, as well as speaking on the "business model" of the MLS rather than adopting a soccer model. A brilliant listen from World Football Index.
