On our new night for soccer talk, Sean and Matt discuss what happened in MLS Week 10.
But first, they are joined by Last Word SC’s Russ McKenzie to breakdown what happened in the first ever New York Derby between New York Red Bulls and NYCFC. Sean and Matt then go on their review of the rest of the games that occurred in MLS Week 10.
Matt also has thoughts on the LA Galaxy’s new signing of Sebastian Lletget from West Ham United and if Bruce Arena really is to blame for LA’s play this week.
Finally, we end things with a look at the U-20 World Cup roster that was announced earlier in the week and what are the US’s chance as the FIFA U-20 World Cup approaches in a few weeks.

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
