Brad Evans – @brad_evans3

AZ Native of current Seattle Sounders mid, Brad joins the guys to talk about the Sounders most recent Open Cup victory against Cal FC. Brad talks about how it is a good thing that lower division clubs can give MLS teams challenges when the teams match-up. He sees it as a positive sign that soccer continues to grow in America. Brad talks about how things are starting to work out for the Sounders, but that they still need to work on a few things before they become a complete team. Brad talks about the positive influence youth coaches in Arizona had on the future of his career and what it was like to playing for the USMNT when the team was in Phoenix in January.
