Richmond to the Finals?
This week, Jason and Ira discuss another Greenville win, 1-0 victory, and another MVP performance from Alex Morell (surprise surprise). As they’ve solidified 1st place, Richmond Kickers have also enlarged the gap for 2nd and have officially made it theirs to lose. Jason calls Emiliano Terzaghi “the most dangerous man in USL League One” and has the stats to back it up. And speaking of stats, the duo speaks on Omaha with the highest number of crosses in a game this season and why their offense has looked stale. Is it too late for their playoff hopes?
Forward Stepping Up?
One team who will also be wondering this, is Forward Madison. They couldn’t get a win against FC Tucson thanks to Amal Knight’s Man of the Match 9 saves. Yet Forward got it done over the weekend in a convincing win against a tired Chattanooga Red Wolves. With Vang producing 60% of their goals, can the Vang Train lead them to a late run for 2nd? Their path to the final is difficult.
Fort Lauderdale a Spoiler?
The duo also discusses why Fort Lauderdale is still one of the most entertaining teams in the league. They may also be a spoiler for some hopefully to make the final. FTL CF has players who are ready to make the jump, and how experienced coaches like John Harkes and Jason Kreis are the determining factors for crucial wins.
