Customer Reviews
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.
Best Sporting KC podcast
Love the show, normally it’s a four star but with the addition of Stacey it’s a 5 star! Keep it up!
