It has been a WILD first two weeks. El Paso winless in 3, Pittsburgh goalless in three?? We knew they had problems, but it's still surprising. Today we hit on all those points, as well as the full slate of week 2 games and some week 3 previews sprinkled in. We also talk on what attendance might mean for some teams, some listener questions, and more. Also, stay up to date for our first end of week episode this week!
Colin Shutler scored a goal, and I'm still in shock. We can't get to caught up though, it was a monumental weekend as many teams started off on the right foot, including Hartford who won away(!!) at El Paso, New Mexico who squeezed out a win over Pittsburgh, and Birmingham who were fortunate off the backend of a Phoenix deflection. And we can't forget the big one, Miami FC absolutely shut down Colorado Springs. So, while we discussed these games, we also fronted any questions and concerns we may have heading into Week 2 for every team!
Wednesday Episode! Today, me and Noah simply dive into all the remaining match week 1 games we were not able to get to last week. Between a tasty opening tie between New Mexico and Pittsburgh, and a late night clash between Sacramento and Orange County, there is plenty to look forward to on Saturday night. Oh, and the microphone issues struck again :(. But don't worry, we were all set to go this time.
