Friday is here and everyone is ready for a long holiday weekend, including we here at Morning Kickaround. Before that, though, we have some soccer to construct. We discuss a pair of newly announced stadium projects in competing third division leagues. First up is New York City FC II of MLS Next Pro latching onto a dual-use stadium project in northern New Jersey and we follow that up with an ambitious USL League One project popping up in Melbourne, Florida. What do these two projects say about the competing leagues and their respective visions? At the top of the hour we are joined by veteran freelance soccer journalist Charlie Boehm to talk about the current state of Major League Soccer at the tail end of their midseason transfer deadline. What's bringing MLS to spend so much money? What's the state of the season as September dawns? Finally, we #DotTheMap of American soccer with the latest additions to the MK Ultra Crew. Check out the show live Monday, Wednesday and Friday at 9:30 AM ET on YouTube where you can join the channel and become an MK Ultra.
