What’s up, Internet? On the latest episode of Last Word SC Radio, Rachael Kriger and Jamie Rooke talk about the MLS All-Star Game and Skills Challenge, with MLS taking both victories over their rivals south of the border, Liga MX All-Stars.
Also, the two discuss a busy transfer window, including the New England Revolution making a lot of moves, sending Sebastian Lletget to FC Dallas as the most notable move. Also, the two break down moves across the league, including Matt Miazga to FC Cincinnati and David Ochoa be traded to D.C. United from Real Salt Lake.
Finally, for Last Words, Jamie discusses some upcoming work he has at Last Word SC, while Rachael breaks down the big question surrounding women’s soccer: where in the world will the NWSL Final be?

About the Hosts:
Matt Pollard is the Managing Editor of Last Word on Soccer and an engineer. When he’s not watching soccer or at work, the Colorado transplant enjoys skiing and hiking all over the state. The LA Kings will always be his first sports love, though MLS didn’t exist at the time. Once called the Shakespeare of LWOS, he covers the LA Galaxy and Colorado Rapids. Like the Galaxy, he too was handcrafted in LA.
Rachael Kriger is a Senior Editor at Last Word on Soccer. She is the lead writer for the Seattle Sounders, U.S. Women’s National Team and NWSL. Hailing from Moscow, Russia, she resides in Ocala, Florida, where she is a youth minister. Rachael is a big fan of her home country’s national teams and cried when Russia beat Spain in the World Cup Round of 16. However, Rachael has to admit that basketball was her first love and still keeps in contact with that sport through coaching.
Daniel Sperry is an Editor at Last Word on Soccer. He covers mainly Sporting KC and U.S. Soccer for LWOS and discusses San Francisco Giants baseball elsewhere. He was born and raised in Northern California, hence his love for Bay Area teams. He currently resides in the KC Suburbs with his incredible wife and energetic puppy. Outside of sports and writing, he loves a good stout and nature, whether that is hiking, camping, canoeing, birding, or some activity with all four.
Harvey Cruz is a staff writer at Last Word. He covers the New York Red Bulls. Born in New Jersey, where all the fun weather is at. Taylor ham or pork roll, he doesn’t care because it’s Bacon-Egg & Cheese for life. Your playoff heartbreaks don’t compare. But it’s okay, because you’ll likely never meet another Harvey in your life. Unique.
