Also, one of our listeners, William, shared his thoughts on our upcoming opponent, Oakland Roots:
"All right, so hello State of the Republic podcast crew. So this is William speaking, coming from Sacramento, California, after dining with the Diplo's fun run right here in San Francisco. It is a great win for Sacramento Republic FC, takes a single goal win for Jose Memo Rodriguez, thanks to the assist from Mark Anthony Kaye. Now the big question is, I know they're going to have a last long game to face against Oakland Roots. So I know it's Oakland played pretty big miles since I was there in Oakland, California at Oakland Coliseum to face against San Antonio FC, but it did have a bounce back very well when they got a win against FC Tulsa not too long ago. So it's going to be very competitive right here for Sacramento Republic FC. So only time will tell, so looking forward to this Saturday, see ya."
Thanks for your comments William!
