Episode description

PLAYOFF SZN BABY! Phil and Mikka are back to talk about El Paso Locomotive's 2-1 win over Oakland Roots to secure a 7th seed spot back in the USL Championship playoffs after missing out last year. The Crew talk about a calm finish (if maybe offside) from Emmanuel Sonupe, a bullet header from Noah Dollenmayer, plus insane goalkeeping from Benny Diaz to give us all 3 points. There were also some contentious non-calls for both teams who miraculously ended the game with only one red card to Locomotive old boy Memo Diaz.

Then the Crew dissect Locomotive's first round playoff nemesis: Orange County SC. Phil and Mikka get into the numbers on OC, who the dangermen are, what their past as a recent USL Championship winner might bring, and answer listener questions along the way. There's also some chat about the USL Championship playoffs more broadly. Stay Loco!
