American Soccer Quick Kicks: Recent Episodes
David Wright
For casual fans and new fans of MLS and the US Men's National Team. No deep dives here. The episodes are always brief, just enough to keep you updated on the latest. For soccer fans who don't follow the American game too closely, fans brand new to soccer and caught up in Expansion Fever, and sports fans curious about soccer. Episodes will rarely exceed 10 minutes in length and most will feature a portion that will break down terminology and concepts that new fans might need explained. I know it's tough to watch a match when you know nothing about the clubs involved or the storylines and stakes surrounding the match. This podcast will provide that context in hopes of encouraging people to watch more MLS and USMNT action.
