Technical Director Carlos Bocanegra joins us this week on Spike'd Up and gives us an update on the team's morale and fitness level after returning to full team training. Darren puts the pressure on Carlos for a favorable draw in the MLS is Back Tournament. We bet Carlos to say a secret word during the tournament draw, money gets donated to Atlanta Community Food Bank and then we revisit his epic failure trying to break a glass window at the training ground in 2016.
