This week the Top 3 focuses on a topic no one can avoid:  Kit design discourse.  We address the concept and move on to on-field topics, including, SKC signed a center back(technically), and Uri Rosell finds a home in LA.  Hopefully it's not boring for him like his Spanish teammate.

Tactical Corner focuses on philosophies for defending counterattacks.  This is a poignant topic given SKC's opponent this weekend and their goals as well as the way their possession system can struggle with containing them at times.  

We also spend some time talking about the issues in the USWNT midfield.  With the World Cup looming, there is still work to do for Vlatko Andonovski and his staff and we have some concerns that pragmatic changes haven't and aren't likely to be made at this point.

And a quick discussion on newcomers and how effectively they can integrate into the team given the first league match of the season arrives on Saturday.
