Hayden Bird is back just as qualification for the World Cup wraps up and the Revolution and Legacy's seasons are in full swing. We got Hayden's thoughts on how the Revs are doing early days with their new coach, the Legacy's slow start and how the final rounds of World Cup qualification shaped up. We also had a little more fun at Josh Kraft's expense.

You can follow Hayden on BlueSky and check out his Revs and Legacy coverage on Boston.com.
