Welcome back to the Afterburn Soccer Show, two weeks into an intriguing season.

And, yeah, FC Dallas played a great game in Los Angeles, unlucky not to come away with some kind of point to show for it. We talk about the performance, a strong first start from Valiente, a debut from Ricky Louis, and lots of positives. This team has us feeling optimistic about the future.

As for North Texas SC, they followed up a strong performance with a demolition of the Rapids 2. Not a perfect game - that will come - but Edouard Nys looks legit. We are excited about this gravy train continuing as they prepare to face Austin FC 2 next weekend.

We close out the show with our predictions for San Diego and more.

Thanks for liking and subscribing, and sharing the show - even on Reddit.

You rock!
