On this special episode of Soccer 2 the MAX, Sean Garmer and Erik Watkins survived Hurricane Irma. They are joined by Rachael McKriger to discuss the latest USWNT game, which was a 3-1 victory over New Zealand. Just how good is Julie Ertz? Should Alyssa Naeher still be in goal after another flub? And what new players could Jill Ellis bring to the squad in the future. Plus a game breakdown, and more.

The trio also discuss the intent behind the Alexi Lalas rant on television. Does it really have any meaning for the players? Or is just a man screaming at the television?

Finally, Erik and Sean discuss the two MLS games from Wednesday. Two blowout wins for Atlanta and Vancouver gets them closer to their ultimate goal. Seriously, Atlanta scored a touchdown in one game.
