Summary

Wanted to get somebody from St. Louis to join to talk about the new MLS team, the response from the city, and the history of soccer there. Got Ty Keough, a former national team player, coach and broadcaster whose dad was one of the five St. Louis natives on the U.S. team that beat England at the 1950 World Cup. Covered a lot of ground, including Ty's family's trip to Guadalajara to see the 1970 World Cup.
