Folarin Balogun’s Everton Transfer Debacle & Should Kylian Mbappe Defend More | Unfiltered Soccer

Folarin Balogun tells Everton to take a hike! On Unfiltered Soccer with Landon Donovan and Tim Howard, Landon and Tim discuss Balogun’s decision to walk away from playing in the Premier League this season and Everton’s transfer policy (or lack thereof). Plus, noticable moves from other USMNT players including Tim Weah being named captain at Marseille and both Luca Bombino and Jack McGlynn headed to Stoke City.  We look at a wild weekend for MLS, where Josh Sargent’s hat trick got Toronto FC a point against the Chicago Fire, the first EVER hat trick for the Portland Timbers thanks to Vincent Janssen, and Inter Miami throwing a post-game tantrum yet again. Plus, who is the favorite to win the UEFA Champions League this season, referees playing games, and should Kylian Mbappe and Vinicius Jr. be doing more defending?  In the AT&T Fan Connection, the guys talk the Toffees, the Houston Dynamo, St Louis City and whether the US is headed for a regional soccer system.  New episodes of Unfiltered Soccer with Landon and Tim air on Tuesdays.
