Who won the MLS Expansion Draft?
Americans Abroad
We wouldn't dream of leaving you hanging during the holidays, so ETR set about creating four shows to get everyone through the end of 2014.
Dec. 22: Referees (PRO's GM Peter Walton and Chris Penso)
Dec. 25: Americans Abroad (Alejandro Bedoya, Herediano owner David Patey, Kabul Premier League vet Nicholas Pugliese)
Dec. 29: Expansion (Atlanta MLS president Darren Earles, LAFC president and co-owner Tom Penn)
Jan. 1: ETR Book Club (The Numbers Game with author David Sally)
In this episode, US national team star Alejandro Bedoya checks in from Nantes in France to talk lifestyle, his path to Europe, rude shopkeepers and his current contract situation.
Next Herediano's American owner David Patey explains how he accidentally came to be a big wig celebrity in Costa Rican soccer.
Finally, Kabul Premier League vet Nicholas Pugliese joins to discuss his time as the first American to play professionally in Afghanistan.

ExtraTime Radio Book Club:
If you thought you knew everything there was to know about the 2014 World Cup, think again. Author James Montague dug up the stories you likely never heard about in the lead-up to Brazil 2014 in "Thirty-One Nil."We spoke to Montague about his adventures around the world and if you haven't yet ordered the book, you'll likely be tempted to after listening to our special Book Club edition.
Meanwhile, get started on the book club's next selection: The Numbers Game by Chris Anderson and David Sally (see left).
