608 Soccer Show (formerly Talkin' Flock)

Eddie Munjoma had a disappointing 2025 thanks to a torn ACL, but he's back at full strength and ready to take on a leadership role on a young and hungry team. We got to chat with him this week about that and lots more.

Roman Torres has a 100% Team of the Week rate and a two-game assist streak. We got the chance to chat with him at the Forward Club this week about his soccer journey, his role with the Mingos, and the special little lady in his life.

We sat down with the Mingos' leading scorer for 2026, Stephen Annor Gyamfi! Find out how he feels the team's coming together, why his soccer stardom stayed secret, and how he deals with pressure to score. More player interviews coming!
