Summary

Columbus Crew and Sierra Leone national forward Kei Kamara (twitter.com/keikamara) joins SI Senior Writer Grant Wahl (twitter.com/GrantWahl) and Brian Straus (twitter.com/BrianStraus) this week to talk his MLS-leading 20 goals, his experiences playing for his home country, and the differences between MLS and European leagues. The guys then switch gears and talk about the latest ridiculousness from CONCACAF: Forcing the U.S. and Mexico to name 35-man preliminary rosters a full month ahead of their showdown at the CONCACAF Cup in Los Angeles. Finally, they discuss the latest involving once of MLS' newest teams: LAFC, which officially confirmed its name and made it clear in an LA Times article that they plan to market heavily toward millennials. Is the club already failing in that regard? -- The Planet Futbol Podcast is sponsored by FanDuel. Enter promo code PLANET at FanDuel.com for up to $200 in bonus cash.
