This is an especially important week in the soccer community here in Florida. Saturday night the Fort Lauderdale Strikers take on Minnesota United FC looking to hold off the Tampa Bay Rowdies and others for the final spot in the NASL Championship. But at the same time, most eyes will be focused on Los Angeles where the one-off match to determine whether the USA or Mexico represents this region in the 2017 FIFA Confederations Cup in Russia is held.

We talk Minnesota United v Fort Lauderdale with Brian Quarstad, one of the top soccer journalists in the country here and USA v Mexico with fellow Floridian, and one of the top soccer (and legal) minds around Neil W. Blackmpn here.
