    The Key Word is Patience

    Episode Notes
    We dive into the home opener against Chicago and the myriad of things that went well and poorly. We spend quite a chunk of time on Jama's red card, then take a look at the upcoming match against a good (but maybe not great) San Diego Legion.

Good for noobs and vets

The guys provide thought out, insightful analysis for people who really understand the game while speaking in a casual enough vocabulary that the new fan can catch on quickly. I recently became a rugby fan and this pod has been a big part of my education.
