  • Great pod…just so quiet.

    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.

  • Pretty fantastic

    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!

  • Subs

    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.
