Don Garber on Messi, MLS Calendar Changes, Retirement and More
We’ve got MLS Commissioner Don Garber! On Unfiltered Soccer with Landon Donovan and Tim Howard, our hosts sit down with MLS Commissioner Don Garber to take a look at Major League Soccer – from the impact of stars like Lionel Messi, David Beckham and Thomas Müller, to the 2027 calendar change, the AppleTV deal, and whether or not he will retire from MLS when his contract expires in two years. Plus, they dive into whether promotion and relegation will come to America, the relationship between Major League Soccer and U.S. Soccer, and how MLS can get more Americans playing in the league. In the AT&T Mailbag, Tim and Producer Jordan are talking about whether to call it “soccer” or “football” and tackle a fan’s suggestion that teams be separated before set pieces are taken.
