PHNX Phoenix Rising Podcast Time for a Break

Three losses and a draw – not the form you want. But that’s the form that Phoenix Rising is going into a mental health break.

Last match, Rising fell after a seven-goal second half that saw Oakland Roots triumph 4-3 at 38th & Washington, with goals from Ihsan Sacko, Diego Gomez and Kelvin Arase not enough to earn any share of the spoils for the hosts. Now, Pa-Modou Kah’s side is on an extended break, with over two weeks between games.

How will they use that time to get things back on track?
