Christian Polanco and Alexis Guerreros recap the midweek MLS Cup playoff games where Cincinnati beat NYCFC and the New York Red Bulls beat the Columbus Crew. Elsewhere in MLS, the Seattle Sounders and Minnesota United beat their opponents on penalties, raising the question of whether this best-of-three format is the best way for MLS to handle first-round playoff matches .
Christian and Alexis are joined by Bryan Ford, award-winning baker, author of Bread and sweettelevision host Cooked in traditionand judge on BRBC. Bryan shares his love of Latin American baking and his soccer experiences growing up. Bryan also talks about how he got his coaching license and he and Alexis wax poetic about their mutual love of Arsenal (because of course they do).
The two raise a glass to Naomi Girma who scored her first two international goals for the USWNT in a match against Argentina. Now do we know why Vini Jr. and Real Madrid didn’t show up for the Ballon D’or? And, just days after sacking Erik ten Hag, Manchester United announce Ruben Amorim as their new manager.
