Podcast (November 29, 2017) – What’s up Internet? Today on Last Word SC Radio, we’re breaking down the MLS Cup Conference Finals Leg Two games.
Last Word SC Radio: MLS Cup Conference Finals Talk With Ralph Schudel And Alicia Tolar
First, we sit down with Ralph Schudel of Massive Report to talk about Columbus Crew SC and the Eastern Conference Finals. The guys discuss how the Crew weren’t able to take care of business at home and how they’ll change things up. Ralph gives his take on what the Artur suspension means for the Crew defensively and what the team could do should the match go to 120 minutes and possibly PKs. We end with some #SaveTheCrew talk as well.
Then we talk with Alicia Tolar of Dynamo Theory about the Houston Dynamo and the Western Conference Finals. Alicia laments the poor Leg One performance. We talk about how the Dynamo can give themselves a fighting chance and joke that a one-legged A.J. DeLaGarza might be starting at right back. We end with some sentimental talk about how Houston already have had a winning season with how ahead of schedule the rebuild is.
Dan Sperry and Robert Kerr join Matt Pollard in the Round Table for rapid fire topics and our Conference Finals predictions.
