Soccertes #46: The Lamar Hunt for Red October with Josh Hakala of TheCup.Us
Itunes / Stitcher
Greg and Mike return from their Black Friday shopping to celebrate their one year anniversary! That’s right, the show made it to one full year. No one expected us to make it this far and now where they are? DEAD. (No, they’re all alive and well.)
And to celebrate, they’re looking at the world’s greatest cup competition: THE LAMAR HUNT US OPEN CUP! And to do it, they’re talking to Josh Hakala, the man behind TheCup.Us, the only source dedicated solely to the competition. They talk the struggles that the competition has getting an audience, the wrong assumption that MLS teams don’t take it seriously and the teams and games to follow if you’re looking to latch on to it. Follow Josh and his team’s work at TheCup.Us and follow them on Twitter at @USOpenCup.
