Episode 8: Jacori Hayes joins the pod, a Michael Bradley forgiveness segment, and the sad end of Toronto's CCL run

FC Dallas midfielder Jacori Hayes, arguably the most in-form American midfielder in MLS, joins for a great conversation on his path to the pros, the value of his USL experience last year, why he always tucks his shirt in and what he needs to do to get better (he's focused on the attacking third). Then Greg and Belz take on the burning topic of the day: Michael Bradley and Jozy Altidore, and whether they should be forgiven for what happened against Trinidad.

• 0:20 Jacori Hayes interview
• 25:00 Michael Bradley and Jozy Altidore (spoiler: we don't think there is a better American No. 6 right now than Bradley, or a better striker than Altidore)
• 49:30 Concacaf Champions League wrapup. Toronto falters on the threshold of glory. The reign of Liga MX continues.
