Double Dose of Defeat

Jeff and Dominic get together to recap a disappointing week for Phoenix Rising. First Dominic recaps Wednesday’s stunning defeat in PKs to lower-division Sporting Arizona FC, gets thoughts from Sporting’s Media Director, Kyle Kepner, and speaks candidly with Jeff about the disappoinment of crashing out so early (1:45-42:00).

Then Jeff takes us through Saturday’s defeat to Sacramento Republic (42:00-1:05:30) and the guys debate whether we should continue playing only three defenders. After that, they preview the upcoming Swope Park Rangers match, get into USL Scores, then tackle some interesting Supporters Section questions to finish the episode.

P.S. We realize the players’ post-match audio from Saturday is missing. Our apologies. We will post that on our Twitter page (@RisingPod).
