The 2025 FC Dallas season came to an end Saturday night, as the squad lost in penalties to the Vancouver Whitecaps in Game 2 of their MLS Cup Playoffs first round series. Sam, Ryan, and Steve talk through a brave performance on the pitch by Dallas despite the outcome, who did a lot with the time they had on the pitch, and what Saturday's match showed supporters about the club's future under Eric Quill.

After a not at all Sunday Funday for FC Dallas, losing 3-nil to the Vancouver Whitecaps in Game 1 of their first round playoff series it's all or nothing in Game 2 at Toyota Stadium. Ryan, Steve, and Garrett break down what happened up at BC Place last weekend soup to nuts, including the specific tactic that had the Burn in turmoil.

The first of two interviews is up after that, with Dallas starting goalkeeper Michael Collodi joining the pod. He talks with Ryan about the game, his mentality during tough moments, and how the team can rebound as the series shifts to Frisco.

The lads then discuss the MLS Playoffs at large so far including of all people Steve taking a side against officiating.

Interview #2 comes as the preview of Game 2 begins, as Ryan sat down with Whitecaps play by play man Asa Rehman to discuss what the opposition might expect in the serie's second game as well as talking through the record breaking atmosphere from Game 1.

Closing it down are the Agenda lads adding their own expectations for what's almost certainly the final game at Toyota Stadium in 2025. Lineup expectations, what they want to see from whoever plays, and much more.
