Battery Are Heating Up: Swan’s Banger, Messer’s Rescue & World Cup Group Chaos

The Cannon Crüe is back, and the Charleston Battery might be finding their rhythm at exactly the right time. Granit and Patrick dig into the Battery’s recent attacking surge, Colton Swan’s outrageous strike, Nathan Messer’s massive two-way performance, Malik Foster’s rise, Emilio Ycaza’s influence, Miguel Berry finding form, and the question that will not go away: can Charleston stop leaking goals at the back? We also look ahead to July, including the Indy Eleven match, the USL Cup date with Charlotte Independence, Sacramento, and Colorado Springs — and ask what point total would make the month a success. Then the episode takes a World Cup turn: Telemundo superiority, traffic cone energy, USA watch parties, Arsenal players on international duty, and the beautiful spread of soccer fever across Charleston. Drop your July points target for the Battery in the comments. Up the Battery.
