S1E247 - Cargo Head Coach & General Manager Interview + Sac Republic Home Opener Just Days Away!

We kick off this episode with a great interview featuring Marek Albert, Head Coach of Stockton Cargo, and Hannah Diaz, the club’s General Manager. They discuss the exciting “The Yard” announcement, reflect on Cargo’s strong season last year, and share what fans can expect from the team this season in USL W.

After the interview, the SOTR crew shifts focus to Sacramento Republic FC, breaking down the club’s final preseason match — a 1–0 loss against Colorado Springs Switchbacks FC — and what it means heading into opening weekend. We also discuss the appointment of new Republic President & General Manager Tim Holt, and with a new season comes a new edition of Podcast Winner Dinner, our weekly Sac Republic prediction contest. We share our overall season predictions and give our picks for the home opener against FC Tulsa!
