FTF Ep. 46 - Clipped Wings: Fire Down Loons in Leagues Cup

Hey, Fire fans and MLS fans! What a way for the Chicago Fire to open up their history in Leagues Cup! Their improbably victory at Minnesota United marks a real turning point in the club this season. Through a combination of better team play, coaching, and catching some lucky breaks, the Men in Red look poised for a successful Leagues Cup run and a positive second half of the Major League Soccer regular season. And for the second half of our show, our host breaks down all the biggest transfers of the Eastern Conference during the summer transfer window. Inter Miami added two Under 22 Initiative signings to compliment Messi, Busquets, and Alba. New York City finalize the transfer of Taty Castellanos to Lazio and obtain Perea on loan from Philadelphia. Columbus Crew make headlines by transferring star Lucas Zelarayan to Saudi Arabia club Al Fateh. There is some consolation for Crew fans as they also add Julian Gressel. Tune in for so much more from the transfer window. Nick concludes the show with a quick word on the United States Women's National Team. He still has confidence in the team to win the World Cup ... again. But he cautions you to make sure you're getting you news and opinions from those "in the know." That is, not from self-educated internet accounts. Enjoy Leagues Cup! Enjoy the Women's World Cup! And be sure to share the podcast, rate and review. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
