Ahead of their historic appearance in the U.S. Open Cup Final, Sacramento Republic head coach Mark Briggs joins the pod. He discusses his team’s “Cinderella story” in this year’s tournament as they look to become the first non-MLS team to take home the Lamar Hunt trophy since 1999, facing off against Orlando City in the final. Also, Mark explains why the city of Sacramento has embraced this team and how their supporters will make their presence known at Exploria Stadium on Sept 7th!
