Following that interview, they briefly discuss Saturday night's match with Nashville and the report of a new signing from Finland.

In this episode, Moisés Chiullán and Phil West compare notes on the allergies they're experiencing, relive Austin FC's PK win over Club América to advance to the Leagues Cup quarterfinal, explore what the path to the final might look like (which could pit Austin against Chicago, Monterrey, América again, or Columbus), get into Sunday night's match against FC Dallas and the next three league matches, and sprinkle in some Community Shield updates as they happened.

In this episode, Moisés Chiullán and Phil West discuss the huge Thursday night Leagues Cup match between Austin FC and Club América, including Moisés' theories on why Verde will best Las Águilas (which includes some rotation mismanagement and the brand of hubris that took down Monterrey and Pumas in 2024).
