Episode Details

It's been far too long since a guest has been on the podcast to help Todd preview The Philadelphia Union's upcoming game. Joining Todd to preview The Columbus Crew v Philadelphia Union (9/2) is a guy you might have heard call college soccer games on the BIG TEN Network, or maybe you've heard him call CONCACAF and UEFA Championship games. He is The Columbus Crew Radio play-play announcer, Chris Doran! Chris talks about how he got his start calling college soccer games on the BIG TEN Network, and the work coach, Sasho Cirovski has put in to build Maryland into a national power house. We discuss The Crew's stadium update, what's gone right for Columbus compared to last season, the early success of Columbus's defense and predictions for this highly anticipated match up.
