Welcome back to the Afterburn Soccer Show, covering FC Dallas, North Texas Soccer Club, and Major League Soccer.

As this is the first show of the year, switching to a newer Mac mini, there were some rough edges in this episode. No intro music? Check. Audio a bit too hot on Nathan’s mic? Check. But improvements on the way? Yes.

Just like FC Dallas, we’ll get a bit more fit a week or two in.

Thanks for your patience, but jump into the episode and hear us catching up everyone on new players, trying to figure out pronunciations, the general sense of optimism, and rumors lurking around. It’s a new year, and we have every reason to be excited about FC Dallas’ future.
