On the return episode of Soccer 2 the MAX, Sean Garmer, Erik Watkins, and Rachael McKriger discuss the latest in America's beautiful game.

First up, Rachael gives thoughts on the United States Women's National Team's play in the recently completed SheBelieves Cup. Did anyone standout? Or was it an all-around depressing slate of performances? And what did Jill Ellis do wrong this time?

The trio also spend time on the lawsuit filed by the USWNT against the United States Soccer Federation. Do the women have a claim to the "equal work, equal pay?" The crew discuss why in this intriguing discussion.

After that, it is time for some Major League Soccer. Where they debut a new segment called the "9 to 4." Nine things from the week and four teams.

Should alarm bells being going off for Frank DeBoer already in Atlanta? Who's had the better run so far? Seattle, Minnesota, or LAFC? Has Ben Olsen finally figured it out for D.C. United? And can NYCFC do anything about the poor state of Yankees Stadium? These are just some of the things discussed here.

Plus, some talk on MLS's poor performance in CONCACAF Champions League, Joe Corona's move to the LA Galaxy, and more.
