608 Soccer Show (formerly Talkin' Flock)

Following Forward Madison's fifth consecutive win, running their unbeaten streak to seven, we hear from head coach Matt Glaeser and striker Ryan Carmichael who recorded a goal and an assist.

On a hot, hot night, Forward Madison’s offense exploded for four goals inside the stadium, then a transformer exploded outside the stadium. And when the TV broadcast came back online, Madison had run its unbeaten streak to seven with a Henny Derby drubbing of Richmond Kickers. Today Ethan and Rob talk through that game, then talk to the man responsible for half of those goals, center back Kerfalla Toure.⁠Support the show at this link.⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Subscribe to the FREE newsletter at this link.⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Register for Forward Madisons 7v7 high school tournament at this link.Follow the show @608Soccer on Blue Sky and InstagramFollow Rob @RobChappell365 on Blue Sky and Instagram or @CampDadRob on InstagramFollow Ethan @Scarfboii on Twitter and @Goodkidmaancity on Instagram

Forward Madison had one job: spoil the USL Cup for Omaha, and ensure they couldn’t make it to the knockout round of the tournament. Our boys understood the assignment and not only won the game, but did so in ridiculously exciting fashion.

Your Mingos got a classic grind-it-out 1-0 win over Spokane Velocity with one of Ethan’s favorite goals of the season – even though Forward Madison didn’t even score it.

With no game to recap this week, we welcome Forward Madison sporting director Matt Cairns, and we have lots of questions about a lot of things, such as his assessment of the season so far, whether we can expect any new roster announcements soon (spoiler: yes we can) and who will go farther in the World Cup: his native country or his adopted one?⁠Support the show at this link.⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Subscribe to the FREE newsletter at this link.⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Follow the show @608Soccer on Blue Sky and InstagramFollow Rob @RobChappell365 on Blue Sky and InstagramFollow Ethan @Scarfboii on Twitter and @Goodkidmaancity on Instagram

This week, Rob and Ethan break down a packed seven-point home week for Forward Madison — a frustrating 1-1 draw with Fort Wayne (featuring a should-have-been red card and Matt Glaeser sent off in style) and a comprehensive 3-1 win over the New York Cosmos, both in the cow kits.
