On this week’s edition of USL All Access, hosts Mike Watts and Devon Kerr dig into whether Phoenix Rising FC’s slow start to the season is a continuation of the ups and downs the side experienced before its postseason run to the USL Championship title, and why last year’s team was like the 2019 Real Monarchs SLC squad that also lifted the trophy.

Mike and Devon also look at how Sacramento Republic FC became the last undefeated side in the Western Conference with its victory against Orange County SC, run the rule over last week’s Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup results, and look back on Devon’s experiences as a trialist in Germany as another of the USL Championship’s top youngsters heads for a training stint overseas.

Tune in live to SiriusXM FC (Ch. 157) every Tuesday night for new editions of the show.
