Description
Two soccer nerds who are scheduled to talk for 35 minutes end up with an hour and a half brouhaha which neither has the credentials or reason to extend. They talk about all there is to know about soccer in the United States. Card carrying member of the Goalkeeper's Union Emmett McConnell writes for Prost Amerika and played Division 3 soccer in college. FIFA striker and Football Manager legend Erik Alcantar has done play-by-play and color commentary for the Ball State Cardinals soccer team and the Northwestern Wildcats Men's soccer team. He's also a former host of the Fantasy Express on WCRD 91
