So, apparently Crew want to keep playing soccer. Cool. It's another MLS Is Back, Coronavirus Is Still Here edition of ACES Radio! Drabby, Bront, and SPECIAL GUEST HOST CHARLES CANPENISNO discuss the results against NYRB, ATLUTDWTF, and their overall impressions of the group stage. They talk injuries (many), stadium virtual events (one), and Nordecke efforts with Voycenow (maybe more than one? GASP). The gang talks about who the best emergency goalkeeper would be, man balls are awarded (#EightBallsAtOnce), then Bront brings up random shit nobody knows about. Finally, Charles talks about his kink (hint, it's very hairy) and the lads preview Crew vs. The Fightin' Ethan Finlays of Minnesota, eh?

USMNT legend Herculez Gomez joins us today. Herc transitioned from soccer to a successful television analyst/host career. He was electrifying on the pitch, and now he's bringing the heat on ESPN shows like Ahora o Nunca, and ESPN FC. We are such huge fans of Herc, and you probably are too! Listen as we chat about his time at USMNT, his rivalry with Sebastian Salazar, and the difficult decision Mexican-Americans face to play for USA or Mexico.
