The Chromaniacs (Craig Elsten, Tony Sanchez and Alex Peña) intended to record this week's show after the SDFC-Club América match, but it was so lopsided (0-3 at halftime) that the boys went ahead and recorded during the second half. On this week's show...

• We start with Leagues Cup talk. This team just isn't built for altitude, is it?
• Mikey Varas goes to a five-man back line, and the defense gets worse?
• How the next two Leagues Cup matches might go, and how much SDFC could/should put into Xolos on Sunday
• Then, to the thing everyone wants to hear us talk about, Chucky to LA for the rest of the podcast
