In this episode, Moisés Chiullán and Phil West discuss Arsenal's trials in the Champions League final and Los Verdes' triumph at the Icarus Cup, before getting into how Phil will be editing this episode en route from Austin to New York City, Phil's depressing but edifying series on the 31 goals Austin FC has let in so far in 2026, the second chance that Jayden Nelson may have representing Canada at the 2026 World Cup, Moisés' and Phil's picks to win the World Cup, some discourse on the U.S.'s chances in the tournmament, the best World Cup song maybe ever (and it's from Scotland), and a description of the new third kit that we believe Austin FC will be releasing in August.

In this episode, Moisés Chiullán and Phil West discuss how Austin FC players were informed about the Rodolfo Borrell and Nico Estévez dismissals (which was just fine), go through the 3,000-word article they wrote on new coaching and sporting director candidates, briefly tease (and we mean tease) the third kit launch, cover Saturday's match against St. Louis City SC (and the attendant watch party), and discuss Myrto Uzuni's crowning-himself goal celebration — is it a nod to his young son or France's famous 19th-century French emperor?

In this episode, Moisés Chiullán and Phil West get right to it and talk about Austin FC parting ways with head coach Nico Estévez and sporting director Rodolfo Borrell, how Saturday night's press conference question about this feeling like an inflection point turned out to be prescient, what it was like to interact with them, what they think went wrong, some concerning numbers at this stage of the season, and what they hope for the future, including a prediction of a sporting director and coach pairing that would make them both very happy.

On Tuesday, we talked to Matt Doyle (of Soccerwise and Tactics Free Zone and formerly of MLSSoccer.com) to get his thoughts on Austin FC at that (not this) point in the season, as well as discussing this year's surprises so far and his World Cup coverage plans. Note that this interview — which we are sharing here on Sunday morning — happened before Verde's back-to-back losses; context is important.

In this episode, Moisés Chiullán and Phil West discuss an unusual summer job that Fox is offering in connection with the World Cup, get into Verde's painful 5-0 loss to San Diego FC and what we learned from it, discuss the upcoming match against Sporting Kansas City, and applaud Brad Stuver's online campaign to lobby for All-Star votes using advanced metrics.

In this episode, Moisés Chiullán and Phil West discuss Damian Las and Dani Pereira's time inspiring Catholic students (and inspiring one with a really cynical take on Austin FC), go into Verde's recent wins and the likelihood of keeping that up through the World Cup break, muse on Jayden Nelson's recurring injuries (and Canada World Cup squad chances), visit the upcoming match against Minnesota (and James' rumored unspellable condition), and then close out with an update on their moms.

In this episode, Moisés Chiullán and Phil West compare cool childhood school spelling bee triumphs, revel in Austin FC's win over Houston (and theorize about Austin FC players actually listening to this show), muse on the Przemysław Płacheta signing rumors and what that might mean for Verde's post-World Cup roster build, discuss the upcoming match against St. Louis City SC, and what's possible before the World Cup break. They also implore listeners to Save the Caps and consider What Rita Taught Me.

In this episode, Moisés Chiullán and Phil West celebrate their 100th episode by revisiting their favorite past episode titles, go into the current emergency of giving up eight goals in the last two matches, ponder what Austin FC might need to do to return to winning ways, talk about the momentary joy that Austin FC fans felt with the weirdest Wilfried Nancy rumor pollenator possible, delve into concerns about PRO and the gatekeeping that pool reporters currently have to navigate, discuss Saturday night's important match against Houston, discuss a new project to help Moises' mom (while celebrating her legacy), and close out with a command performance of the greatest one-act play ever featured on Emergency Podcast.

In this episode, Moisés Chiullán and Phil West talk about Phil's recent trip to Miami to watch a very satisfying draw against Lionel Messi's team, and then they discuss the recent losses about the Galaxy and Louisville City and whether or not to be worried. They then get into an odd thing that Austin FC head coach said in his post-Open Cup loss press conference as well as how hot his coaching seat might be and who might replace him. They then preview the match against Toronto FC and back into a brief preview of the San Jose match, also highlighting a nice thing the community did for our favorite soccer photographer.

In this episode, Moisés Chiullán and Phil West talk about the trek Austin FC fans are making to Miami — a trek that Phil is also making — and what they might expect when they get there, given that construction for Saturday's Nu Stadium opening is coming right down to the wire. They also discuss the state of Oleksandr Svatok's Ukraine and Myrto Uzuni's Albania in World Cup qualifying (both sad), laugh a little at Italy, preview the actual matchup between Inter Miami and Austin FC, and then get into Verde's upcoming matchup against Louisville City and how the rest of the bracket leading to the U.S. Open Cup final looks.
