Since 2019, MLS has consistently had a panel of columnists, presenters, and other talent predict how the conference standings will end up at the close of the season. These prognostications are primarily to drive traffic and discussion from fans (how dare they pick us to finish 13th!) and for the most part, have not been revisited over time to see just how accurate they are. In fact, almost everyone forgets them until the end of the season where they can use them as bulletin board material.

Hey folks, our long time friends Mike Imburgio and John Muller are putting out an app. Kieran, Ben, and Harrison spoke to them on the pod here [link] if you want to hear some more of the why, and some of the fun things coming out on top of it. ASA wouldn’t have built many of the cool things we have over the years without these two gentlemen, and it’s pretty exciting to see what they’re building now. Mike is here to explain more below.
