We are back after a Labor Day break.And we have a lot on the buffet table as FC Dallas are on a roll, climbing to 3rd in the Major League Western Conference table after three straight wins. The team is clicking. They are dawgs. Quill has this group of guys fighting for every opportunity, and we get to enjoy.Colin, Jose, and Nathan take time to give some shout outs to the guys stepping up and getting better across the board.We also break down the playoff scenarios for North Texas SC, but Jose lays it out pretty straightforward - North Texas needs to be the Rapids in Colorado. Win, and they are in.Thanks for listening! Get full access to AFTERBURN SOCCER at www.afterburn.soccer/subscribe

Hey, folks, as we launched the stream on Monday night, my workhorse Mac mini M4 decided to crash.But I was able to restart the stream and we got through a fun one, even as a virus hits the Hill household.

We had a great show last night, with a few audio fixes even though our boy Collin glitched via that cellphone coverage out in Texas.Once you get past that, this was a great show.Collin, Jose, and Nathan broke down a full week for FC Dallas and North Texas Soccer Club, including a big away win at Real Salt Lake followed by an utter collapse at Vancouver. Was it just a case of hitting weary legs? Was Quill right to rotate? Should we panic? In short, no.Collin gave us some hints about potential transfer options, as we await confirmation of Deedson’s move away from FC Dallas and the possibility of other players finding new venues. Lots of uncertainty, for sure, but there is a sense that this team wants to get better and plug some holes down the stretch.North Texas SC meanwhile grabbed 4 points at home, which is solid enough to keep them in the potential postseason picture. They have a huge away match on Friday against St Louis City SC 2. The good news — four home games follow, meaning this team has the potential to pick up points and fight for a spot if they can keep putting it all together.We closed out with predictions:Jose and Collin pick North Texas SC to lose at St Louis; I’m hoping for another road point or two.We are also feeling confident, for the most part, that FC Dallas can get a point or an outright win at St Louis.Thanks for subscribing and supporting!

Thanks for your continued listening and support.Nathan and Jose were joined by the man himself, Colin Coovert, who you might have spotted behind goal down in Austin as Petar Musa and FC Dallas grabbed a solid three points on the road, a match with Copa Tejas implications.With the Leagues Cup behind them, we continue to be amazed at the potential of this team — and how they have yet to put it all together. What will the upcoming matches mean? How can the team get better? Who needs to step up?Let us know if you love the show by liking, sharing, and commenting!

Jose and I jumped on for a nice and tidy show after a not-so-great week for FC Dallas and North Texas SC.Jose is quick to point out that just 1 point from two road matches was a little bit unlucky this time around, and he has a point. San Diego’s single goal was a shot that most often goes wide. Portland Timbers exploited a formation change and brain fart from Dallas’ defenders to level things.And still, both teams had opportunities to get more.Meanwhile, we covered a lot of ground with player news, including a loan from the USL-C squad Rhode Island. What can we expect from the new midfielder?We close out the show with a preview.Thanks for listening. Your support makes so much difference.

Despite a few slight technical issues, the Afterburn Soccer Show has reemerged after a World Cup break, ready to look ahead at some delicious FC Dallas soccer to enjoy this week. Two games, in fact!But first, Jose, Collin, and Nathan broke down their thoughts on the World Cup. Was it a success? A memorable tournament? What did we like? What didn’t sit so well? While we agreed that Spain played masterful and annoying football, we also gave shade to Argentina for its behavior, especially in that last game. Lots of reckless fouls.Will the tournament move to 64 teams? Will that be good?Anyway, we spent a ton of time chatting before we got into North Texas Soccer Club’s continued moves to attract intriguing talent, in addition to the debut of the new stadium. There is so much positive with this squad right now, so many reasons why the games should be packed.Including giving up one goal in the past three games. Do we see a surge up the standings in their future?FC Dallas added a goalkeeper to boost their second half chances. Collin hints at rumors out of outbound players to free up some dead weight on the roster, but Jose reminds us that guys who were injured, like Kamungo and a refreshed Christian Cappis, might feel like new signings. Overall, we are positive that this team can keep the momentum going, starting with two away games this week - one at Portland and one at San Diego.Thanks for listening and subscribing!AFTERBURN SOCCER is a reader-supported publication.
