On this episode of Soccer 2 the MAX, Sean Garmer and Erik Watkins give analysis on the first four matches of the Major League Soccer Conference Semi-Finals. Do the Columbus Crew have the road paved for the Conference Finals? What about Toronto FC? Who can you really count on in the West? After two 0-0 draws. We discuss all that and look ahead to the second leg matches as well.

The guys also discuss the latest with the Save the Crew movement. Does an email exchange between a Precourt Sports Venture official and a hoaxer reveal anything? And is MLS potentially in trouble with San Antonio?

After that, there's some MLS news, with international star Javier Mascherano considering a move to MLS after the World Cup 2018. A few more potential signings, and we look at the USL playoffs too.

Finally, the two discuss what a group stage MLS Playoffs would look like, thanks to Grant Wahl for the idea. Not to mention, the FIFA Club World Cup could go into a full fledged tournament, if FIFA has it's way.

We also talk the final U.S. Women's National Team roster for 2017, as the USWNT prepares for a home-home series against Canada.
