Aug 07, 2018, 02:02 AM

The second hour starts off with Glenn bringing on former Dynamo defender and current assistant for the Houston Dash Eddie Robinson. The two go over the crushing 1-0 defeat to Utah the Dash recently suffered, and what differences Eddie has experienced as a coach in the NWSL as opposed to MLS.

In the next segment Glenn brings on longtime SportsCenter anchor and current LAFC play-by-play commentator Max Bretos to talk MLS and how far LAFC have come in their inaugural season. Glenn asks Max on the Mexican community’s pride in having an El Tri star in Carlos Vela playing for LAFC. Max goes into detail on the international supporter groups for all the players on LAFC of international backgrounds like Lee Nguyen with Vietnamese-Americans and Steven Beitashour with LA’s massive Persian community. Glenn and Max then preview Wednesday’s Open Cup semifinal match.

Chris Saetz joins the show to finish the hour. The Dynamo goalkeeper previews Wednesday’s semifinal which he’ll start, and what it means to him to be able to play for a trophy.

Glenn also asks Saetz to go over what went wrong against KC.
