In this edition of Talking Calcio, Nick Frazier and Claudio Villalobos recap the last three matches for Nashville SC. Nashville drew 0-0 with DC United at home, Which continued their unbeaten streak. DC United gave Nashville a difficult task as the boys in gold tried to break down the switch of tactics. Claudio shared his thoughts on what stood out to him. Where did Nashville improve in a difficult match with DC United? Midfielder Bryan Acosta showed a big reason why BJ Callaghan can trust him in important matches, especially in the US Open Cup. Later in the episode, Nick and Claudio break down the US Open Cup match in Orlando winning 3-2. An interesting Starting XI selection from BJ Callaghan. In some aspects you can look at it as a calculated risk. Has Nashville solidified their depth going forward? To end the episode, Nick and Claudio review the big NSC road win in Toronto and wrap up with previewing NSC's matchup with Columbus Crew.
It's Episode 362, the second game recap episode in a row where we discuss a disappointing 2-2 draw to a Wooden Spoon contender. Our location shifts to Quebec, where LAFC was only able to take a point from lowly CF Montreal. Montreal, the club that had scored just 8 goals all season, raced out to a 2-0 lead after 22', thanks to Prince Owusu's penalty and a couple of lucky bounces. LAFC would respond right before the half through Mark Delgado as the half would end 2-1.The subs made all the difference for LAFC. Ryan Hollingshead improved the offense, Cengiz Ünder brought a calm on the ball, and Olivier Giroud delivered the tying goal, making the run and putting away a deflection. Not the story we wanted in Montreal, but LAFC's takes a point. Next up is Club America, and a spot in the Club World Cup. But until then, enjoy 362!
LAFC heads into Quebec to take on CF Montreal, the worst team in the East. Will it be three easy points for the Black and Gold, or will a wooden spoon contender give them trouble two weeks in a row?
