It's summer in San Diego, SDFC is #1 in the Western Conference and perfect on a three-match road trip, Anders Dreyer is an MVP candidate, and the stadium atmosphere is vibrant and rocking. What more could a San Diego soccer fan ask for? 

On this week's episode of the Chromaniacs, Craig Elsten, Tony Sanchez and Alex Peña look back at a magical comeback in the heat at FC Dallas. What should the nickname be for the three-headed-attack of Chucky Lozano, Milan Iloski and Anders Dreyer? Take a moment to reflect on where this expansion team is today, now. 

Then, Tony visited SDFC training grounds to bring back interviews with newly contract-extended center back Christopher McVey, MLS MVP favorite Anders Dreyer, and head coach Mikey Varas. 

In "Voice of the Supporter", @terriblesdfcmemes joins us to tell us about being a member of The Riptides, what lured him to supporter culture and how the north section continues to grow together.

The guys wrap up with a look ahead to Saturday night's home match against Houston Dynamo.

Craig, Tony and Alex are back to review a remarkable 5-3 road win over Vancouver, pushing SDFC into first place in the Western Conference of MLS. Milan Iloski. MILAN ILOSKI! Four goals in his first-ever MLS start?? Where should the mural go in San Diego County? 

PLUS: Three SDFC MLS All-Stars, the building savvy of GM Tyler Heaps, a full preview of SDFC-FC Dallas and much more! 

Please do us the favor if you're reading this and leave the show a five-star review on your podcast platform of choice, thanks!

Craig Elsten, Tony Sanchez and Alex Peña are back for another weekly conversation about San Diego FC. On the heels of a 4-2 away victory at Minnesota, the question is asked, was this the best result of the season? Milan Iloski continues to turn heads, is it time for a new contract and promotion to the starting lineup? Plus, thoughts on the upcoming summer transfer window and if SDFC should go for a third designated player (DP) or stay on the Under-22 track. Last but not least, a preview of next Wednesday's match at Vancouver.

Craig, Tony and Alex look back at a well-attended friendly against Club America, one where the visitors brought their fourth team and SDFC took advantage for a 3-0 win. Looking ahead to a huge road match at Minnesota, the question becomes who will fill in for Chucky Lozano?
