Last Word SC Radio: MLS Thursday Knockout Round Preview: Steve Brisendine And Ralph Schudel
First, Steve joins Matt to talk about Sporting KC. He gives us some updates on Tim Melia and where the legs are for Sporting. We discuss what they’re doing well and what the attack needs to do at Houston Dynamo. Then Ralph stops by to talk all things Columbus Crew SC. The guys talk about the Crew’s unbeaten streak, Federico Higuian’s bounce-back season, and the workman like back four. Ralph gives some perspective on the #SaveTheCrew movement.
