They discuss Cristian Roldan taking the captain’s armband this season, Andrew Thomas being named starting goalkeeper (for at least MD-1) and summarize what they think about the current situation at the number 9 position on the roster. In the second segment Apple TV play-by-play announcer Steve Cangelosi joins Jeremiah to preview match day one’s opponent, the Colorado Rapids.
