The Gaffer and Hooligan is back, as myself and Aaron Nielsen do a bonus episode this week.

We kick off the show in Segment 1 "The First Round" with myself and Aaron examining the U-20 Women's World Cup, looking more specifically at what should come of both it and the 2015 senior Women's World Cup long term.

We then transition into examining the trend in North American sports of teams mortgaging their future for a shot at a title. Using the NBA's ongoing trade saga involving Andrew Wiggins and Kevin Love as an example, we discuss whether this would and should ever happen in Major League Soccer.

To end the show, in Segment 2 "Last Call" we talk about North American sports moving towards younger GM's and those with an analytical/statistical outlook before allowing Aaron to play the role of GM. Giving his take on what he'd do with the Montreal Impact.
