In this episode of State of the Republic Podcast, we break down Sacramento Republic’s impressive 3-1 road win over San Antonio FC—aka “Uncle Ruckus”—highlighted by three absolute golazos, including a great strike from former SA player Cristian Parano. The victory moves Republic FC up to 2nd place in the USL Western Conference, and we dive into what made this performance one of the greatest ones of the season. We also preview this week’s matchup against Monterey Bay FC, go over the latest results in our Podcast Winner Dinner predictions contest, and wrap things up with a off-field story: Jared shares how he got blocked on X (formerly Twitter) by a salty San Antonio FC admin.
