Summary
It's a Monday on Morning Kickaround and it's full of surprises. Robert Kerr and Jason Davis are joined, somewhat enexpectedly by Mitch Baruchowitz, principal owner of Westchester SC, to discuss his club's upcoming home match against New York City FC in the U.S. Open Cup. How big of a moment is this for the young USL League One club and what is he hoping to get out of the game, aside from a victory, of course. Also, we check in on the expansion teams on the women's side of the game. How are Boston Legacy and Denver Summit doing in the NWSL and how about Sporting Jax leading the way in the USL Super League? LA's World Cup Fanfest will also charge attendees in a move that reflects the extreme cost of this American World Cup and there are 15 other U.S. Open Cup matches to discuss after we chat with Mitch.
