Rob and Ethan talk through the 0-0 draw with AV Alta, including the positives on the defensive end and what could have been on the offensive end. We dig into the goal that wasn't, a pretty egregiously bad refereeing decision that most everybody in the stadium and watching on TV missed. Then Jack Goods from the 414 Footy podcast joins again to check in on the state of USL in Milwaukee and his experience at Breese Stevens Field on Saturday.Click here to see the goal that didn't count.Click
