The Prinx Tire Cup is underway, and the Mingos’ hopes are deflated, despite one goal from AJ Edwards and a bank shot from Claudel N’goubou. Today on the show, Ethan and Rob talk through that match and whether or not the score reflected the performance. Then, AJ Edwards joins the show to talk about his origins in California and his role in Madison, and to learn in real time why Lexington fans were booing him the whole game. And in Stoppage Time: the club offers a way in for kids, and the MASL has its own version of Malice in the Palace.

Support the show!

The 608 Soccer Show and newsletter are and always will be free for Wisconsin's soccer fans. But it's not free for us to make! We pay for monthly subscriptions for our production software and streaming services to watch matches (and rewatch, and watch frame-by-frame to forensically analyze referees' mistakes). We also pay for marketing materials to get the word out to more Forward Madison and Rally Madison weirdos like us. It's not a lot, but it's not nothing. This is a labor of love, not a profit-making venture, and any support we can get from the Madison soccer community will just help us make the experience of reading and listening to 608 Soccer better for all of us!

Last year we used Substack’s subscription function as your opportunity to support the show, but we’ve since left that platform for a number of reasons. So as the season ramps up and we look to invest more into the show, we’ve set up a new way to donate, which you can find here.
