In today's episode ( check out the video on FB & You Tube!) we are joined by USYNT & LAFC GK Dir. Neil Thompson!

Then we breakdown Nation's League; including Brad Guzan's 72nd minute top hand save VS Canada ; & why Cuba's Sanchez should have started higher off his line in the 23rd minute VS US.
We finish the show w/ the USL Final ; including David Ochoa's fabulous redirect & Chris Hubbard's stop in the 44th.
