Podcast (February 24, 2017) – One. More. Week. Fam. This week on Last Word Soccer Club Radio, we’re talking all things CONCACAF Champions League.
Last Word SC: CCL Fever, John Harkes, MLS Fantasy, And VAR
In the first segment, Matt Pollard is joined by Michael Walker to talk about FC Dallas stomping Arabe Unido. We talk about how Dallas got off to such a great start in the first leg and preview their season sans Mauro Diaz. Mike also covers FC Cinncinati, so we talk John Harkes getting dismissed from the club. Mike talks about what went down and the lads both do some speculation.
Then Joe Goldstein stops by to talk about the 1-1 draw between the New York Red Bulls and the Vancounver Whitecaps. Joe gives his take on how the first game of the 4-2-2-2 went for the Bulls as well as who stood out. The two talk about how this season is going to be different for New York and what they expect in leg two.
In the Round Table, Blayne Riffle stops by to talk about MLS Fantasy. Blayne and Matt talk about the rule changes and what they’re excited about for the season. Then the guys put on their MLS Fashion hats and talk about some new jerseys. Lastly, the guys talk about VAR and a sad end to Sutton United’s FA Cup run.
