With MLS Cup around the corner, we asked two players that know a little about the teams for a scouting report. Chris Wingert plays for Real Salt Lake and faced Seattle three times this year. Chris played in two MLS Cups himself and knows what the experience is like. Michael Stephens spent the season with the Chicago Fire and went up against Toronto a few times, and Mike also won a couple MLS Cups with the Galaxy. Chris and Mike join host Bobby Warshaw to preview the game. They each outline how their teams approached facing Seattle and Toronto and what it was like to be on the field against them. What did Western Conference teams do to prepare for Seattle? How did Eastern Conference teams prep for Toronto? Mike tells the story about the time he was assigned to stop Giovinco. Hint: it didn't go well. To start the show, the guys talk generally about how MLS teams do a scouting report and prepare a game plan for an opponent on the weekend.
