… A bit of both

This past week was some good, some bad, and really a bit of both.  The Hounds frustratingly lost to Loudoun 2-1 and followed it up with a massive 1-0 win over Charlotte.  Together the guys break down both games, including:

  • Velarde being named as a Captain and finding his place in this ever evolving squad,
  • The increase in attendance and engagement at Highmark Stadium,
  • The 3-6-1 formation and whether we’ll see it again this year

And much more!  We wrapped things up by talking about the Euro’s, our feelings on the statement “bringing soccer home” that England like to toss around, some Premier League talk… it kind of went on and on.  Much like the Hounds results this week, this show is a bit of both (all?) things soccer.
