Afterburn Soccer Show

FC Dallas may be unbeaten in the past ten games, but they are struggling to find multiple goals against opponents. On Saturday night, San Jose came away with a draw as Dallas could not get the ball in the back of the net after equalizing. We talk about their chances over the next couple of matches and even get into preferred playoff opponents.

Plus, some North Texas talk, including the future of Hope Aveyevu.

In this exclusive interview with Carl Sainté of North Texas SC, we talk about his start as a soccer player, his time in Haiti, and how he found his way to North Texas.

Enjoy!

A fun tight episode for your listening pleasure, Jose and Nathan hit a variety of topics.

We start where we left off, with FC Dallas just getting 1 point from a week when we thought they would do better.

In the game against St Louis, we discuss Maarten Paes’ red card, how the team rebounded, and the unfortunate set of results.

Against Atlanta United, did the rotation and missing players doom the performance? It’s tough to say.

Is Eugene Ansah one of FC Dallas’ best midseason acquisitions in a while?

North Texas is out of postseason contention - did dismissing Javier Cano without giving him a full season in charge really make sense?

We hit the international stuff too, including Ricardo Pepi’s goal.

This edition of the Afterburn Soccer Show starts with a deep dive into FC Dallas’ win over Austin FC and taking stock of how big a result it was for the rest of the season.

Jose in particular looks at some individual player performances that bode well, even if there is much to improve.

Illaramendi looked solid.

Will the team miss Geovane Jesus?

We also dove into North Texas’ away win and their super slim chances to make it into postseason play. But there’s still a chance, right?

With our listeners, we also make some wildly inaccurate predictions for the St Louis and Atlanta matches this week.
