A fun podcast series that follows Sporting and the Current. Definitely a good companion through our soccer seasons of highs-and-lows!
Great pod ! Love everyone’s opinion
Love the content and regularity of episodes, but the audio is super quiet. Was listening in my car and realized I had my CarPlay volume almost at max.
As long as you don’t care if your hosts can pronounce Botswana correctly, this will be your favorite KC soccer pod. Because it’s very, very good!
Love the show! For the question on subs, Shelton (Pulido), Bassong, and Pierre. We haven’t seen much of Bassong, but what we have seen he didn’t appear to be a liability, which is all you need in a sub to see out the game. Game was probably too physical for Memo, as much as I love him as a sub generally.
