The host of Soccer is a Kick in the Grass and former NASL Rochester Lancers trainer, Joe "Red Card" Sirianni, told the true story of how he became the first trainer in US Pro soccer history to be red carded in a match.  The fixture was the Lancers against the host Chicago Sting back in 1977, 45 years before Philadelphia Union's Paul Rushing suffered the same fate in the June 26 match against NYCFC.

Dick Howard and Michael Lewis spoke on the current CONCACAF Men's U-20 tournament and the upcoming CONCACAF W championship that both will decide births in the World Cup and the Olympics.  Dick also talked about the Canadian Championship semifinals and the upcoming Women's European Championships.

Michael reviewed the aforementioned Philadelphia/NYCFC match, LAFC beating the visiting NY Red Bulls, LAFC officially signing Giorgio Chiellini and Gareth Bale and the US Women beating Columbia Saturday.

Joe and Andrew reviewed RNY FC tying Columbus 0-0 and getting the PK bonus point, the Lady Lancers going unbeaten in their last 6 matches after a 2-0 win over FC Berlin and Roc City Boom making the final of the UPSL Western NY division against FC Syracuse.
