Editor’s Note: This all encompassing sports podcast mostly discusses American Football, College Football, and North American Soccer, but it also delves into NBA Basketball, MLB Baseball, Hockey and anything else the guys can think to talk about. This smart show will give listeners all the sports talk they need.
On an all futbol episode, Sean and Matt discuss New York Redbulls continuing to rule the roost in MLS, after their 2-0 win against the San Jose Earthquakes. Then we move on to our MLS Week 7 preview of the rest of the weekend games and talk about Tottenham being the MLS All-Star opponent.
Then we end things with an article written by Last Word on Sports Contributor Brian Cook called “What US Open Cup can take from March Madness”. We ponder how US Soccer can make the US Open Cup more prominent in the mind of soccer fans and it turns into a very good discussion.
Football 2 Futbol airs live at Midnight EST on Friday Nights and is then available immediately after on-demand on these platforms: on the LAST WORD RADIO I-Tunes and Stitcher, Tune-In Radio, Player FM, and Bluburry.
Sean Garmer: is a crazy mix of Arkansas, Venezuela, and Texas all rolled into one. He studied Journalism at the University of North Texas and hopes to one day be able to return to finish his degree. Having been born in Arkansas, his favorite college team is the Arkansas Razorbacks, but all of his professional loves come from the DFW area, where he spent 20 years of his life. Sean’s first love is soccer, which began from having an entire latino side of the family that watched the sport. It then grew into him playing soccer all the way into high school and college. He was also able to do color commentary for the University of North Texas Women’s soccer team as well. He then transitioned that into several writing gigs on various websites, including being paid to cover every game in several World Cups. Sean is an avid FC Dallas supporter and has grown to love MLS above all other soccer leagues. His second sport is a tie between American Football and Basketball. Where Sean is a diehard Cowboys and Mavericks fan respectively, but also tries to keep up with other sports as much as he can.
Matt Pollard: is a Chemical Engineering Grad Student and Staff Writer for the MLS department at Last Word on Sports. When he’s not playing with fire, he’s going for a run, trying a microbrewery, or watching sports. His first sports love was the LA Kings, though MLS didn’t exist at the time. Once called the Shakespeare of the department, he describes himself as a typical tuba playing Ginger Ninja, Environmental Crusader, Sports Hipster, and Miami Hurricane. Like the Galaxy, he too was handcrafted in LA
