The Cannon Crüe is back to talk Prinx Tires USL Cup action as the Charleston Battery open Group 6 play with a late 2-1 win over Loudoun United.

Granit is joined by Patrick and guest Andrew to break down a strange but useful cup result: Miguel Berry gets his first Battery goal, Graham Smith delivers the stoppage-time winner, and Charleston walks away with three points in the group stage. It was not always pretty, but after a rough road stretch, the result mattered.

The crew also digs into the bigger questions around this Battery squad: road form, attacking creativity, Miguel Berry’s role, whether Emilio Ycaza can help drive the midfield, and whether Graham Smith is becoming the on-field leader this team needs.

Plus: youth soccer foot races, Blue Angels flyovers, mystery tire sponsors, white-wall tire debates, crop dusters over Patriots Point, and a look ahead to Sporting Jacksonville.

In this episode:

• Charleston’s 2-1 USL Cup win over Loudoun United
• Miguel Berry’s first goal for the Battery
• Graham Smith’s late winner and growing leadership role
• Why the Battery still look unsettled on the road
• The search for creativity in midfield
• Whether the team is still missing an Aaron Molloy-type leader
• Preview and predictions for Sporting Jacksonville
• Cinco de Mayo night, Star Wars confusion, tacos, and rain

Up the Battery.
