916 Republic Podcast

The boys hit the USMNT and USWNT in the news segment, as well as highlight the fact that Nabi Kibunguchy's goal is up for USL Goal of the Week! Go vote now on USLchampionship.com. The boys review the dramatic 2-2 draw away to Orange County, and preview the importance of the next three games against the NYRB II, Tacoma Defiance, and Las Vegas Lights. Sac must get results in these games to stay in playoff contention. 

Hopefully what happened in Vegas doesn't stay in Vegas for the Republic, because the Old Glory Red managed to snap a 9 game winless streak by defeating the Lights on 7/14 2-1. Zak and Nolan discuss the game and give their take on whether this could be a turning point in the season for Sacramento. At the top of the show, the guys talk about the USMNT Gold Cup group play, the UWNT Olympic group, CONCACAF juggernaut Martinique, and of course, Sacramento's signing of Jerome Kiesewetter from FC Tulsa. 

At the top of the show, Scott gives his quick take on what needs to happen for Sac in the next three games. Then, Nolan and Zak review the 0-0 draw to Oakland, the 2-0 loss to OC, and then look at how it is that Sac has reached this new low, 9 points in 11 games and a 9 game winless run. 

4 games, 2 goals, both coming from centerbacks. Not a great stat. Scott and Nolan break down the 1-1 draw against the San Diego Loyal. The boys discuss the midfield, and how they can drive forward to help the forwards get into the goals. Looking forward to July 7th and 10th's games against the Oakland Roots and OCSC, the boys discuss what they want to see tactically from the Republic to continue getting points from games. 

Also in this pod, a review of the Copa America, European Championships, the MLS NEXT Tournament, and the USWMNT Olympic group! 

Worldie freekick goal from Asante, Sac red card, off-sides controversy, a 10-man comeback, and even a pitch invader! This game had it all. The boys discuss the game from Saturday night, and look forward to the July 3rd match-up against the in-form SD Loyal. Hottest Take from the Episode: Sac can't score, and can't afford to sign new forwards. BUT, the have 6 goals sitting on the bench! (Tucker Bone - 3, Jaime Villareal - 2, Jordan McCrary - 1). So, play all of them! 

Zak and Nolan break down Sacramento's 2-0 loss to the the Real Monarchs, and preview the upcoming away fixture to the Oakland Roots! Why can't Sac score? Is it a system problem or a problem with individual players? Should Pete Pennanen play the #9? Can Sac turn this poor run of form around on the 19th?  The boys also discuss Grenada, Trinidad and Tobago, and the Dominican Republic's world cup qualifying campaign, the announcement of the USL Women's League, and take stock of other games that have gone down in the USL Championship's Pacific Division. 

The boys break down the madness that was the 3-3 draw to the Oakland Roots and the 3-1 loss to OCSC. Zak gets on his soap box to talk about the USMNT's win over Mexico in the CONCACAF Nations League Final, and then Nolan rounds out the episode with a preview of the Real Monarchs. 

Nolan and Zak review the 1-0 loss to Phoenix. The boys preview a VERY exciting matchup on 6/2 against USL newcomer, the Oakland Roots! Also, in a double game week, the boys preview the home game against OCSC on Saturday, 6/5.

The boys break down the news (Adam Jahn injury update, Oakland Roots update, and Covid vaccine/free ticket at Heart Health Park news). Then, they break down the game against Orange County, and then discuss what changes to expect when Sac takes on the Phoenix Rising on May 29th at Heart Health Park. 

Is Sacramento playing in a 3-4-3 instead of a 3-5-2? Who is Kwadwo Opoku? Why is Kharlton Belmar so important to Sacramento's attack? How is it possible for Frankie Lopez to sub on, score, and get sent off all in the span of thirty-three minutes? What can we expect out of Orange County SC on Saturday? Zak and Nolan tackle these questions as they break down Sacramento's 3-1 win over the Las Vegas Lights, and preview the upcoming game against Orange County SC. 

The boys review a 1-0 win over the LA Galaxy II, talk about the new Heart Health Park, presented by Western Health Advantage, and review the game against the Las Vegas Lights. 

The boys at the 916 Republic review the last preseason game against the real Monarchs, look forward to the season opener against Los Dos and give you some juicy season predictions!
