🎙️ New pod! What's happening, why is it happening, and will it get better? These questions are applicable to life, but also the Oakland Roots. We discuss.

🎙️ New Pod! We lament the lack of defensive structure, and the absence of hoof-and-hope football, but we're excited about new man Sinisterra. Peter pods in hushed tones so as not to wake his newborn:

🎙️ New Pod! We convince ourselves that the schedule provide Roots a great opening to take second spot in the West, and lament the loss of good team names. (Note: episode recorded before this week's transactions)

Oakland Roots managed to bend but not break entirely in a match that simulated some conditions they will encounter in the playoffs. Room for improvement especially if they aspire to host a playoff game for the first time as a USL Championship club. #USL #KnowYourRoots

@peterwbloom I have now learned two (2) things about tiebreakers today.

[RootsBlog @OakRootsBlog]

Filed under "questions I would not even have thought to ask" are "are there any tiebreakers in this ostensibly serious, professional soccer league ahead of goal differential" and "is the number of other tiebreakers somehow more than 3". But that's on me, I guess

[Jonathan Comeaux @Jonathan_Como]

Here is our story on Oakland Roots transferring Jeciel Cedeño to Detroit City. In the blog is my full reaction to the news, notes on the timing, the impact on the attack, and what it means for Oakland going forward.
