On the latest edition of USL All Access, Mike Watts and Devon Kerr welcome Louisville City FC interim Head Coach Simon Bird, who discusses his history with the city of Louisville since arriving as a college player at the University of Louisville in the 2000s, what it means to take over from former Head Coach Danny Cruz having served as an assistant coach over the past five years, what goes into finding different ways to win games at home and on the road, and the places that he enjoys during downtime away from the field within the city.
Watts and Kerr also discuss Louisville City's landmark 200th regular season victory against Brooklyn FC on Saturday night, the antics of Oakland Roots SC goalkeeper Raphael Spiegel against Orange County SC at the Coliseum, run the rule over the six remaining undefeated teams after the opening month of the season, how Detroit City ended the Charleston Battery's perfect start, and look ahead to the key games in the U.S. Open Cup Second Round this week.
Tune in live to SiriusXM FC (Ch. 157) every Tuesday night for new episodes throughout the 2026 campaign.
