In this episode, I discuss the reasons I started this podcast and what I expect to do with the show. I also talk about last week's loss in Portland and how that affects the Western Conference standings. The Burlingame Dragons had a great week playing at home for the first time this season. They won their home opener 5-3 against LA Laguna FC.

Another Cali Clasico is in the books and the Quakes came away with a hard-earned point on the road. Next up, FC Dallas at Avaya and the newly named TCL 4K bar. What is TCL 4K? I dunno but they are giving away TVs to anyone that retrieves a ball kicked into the bar so that should be fun. I also talk about the Dragons finally conceding a goal and how many MLS players got their start in the amateur PDL.

In this episode, I discuss the upcoming Cali Clasico (episode recorded before the game) and just how much fun that game is. I also talk about friendlies against European squads losing their luster and injuries that continue to plague the team. I also get into the Burlingame Dragons and their excellent early season form.

In this episode I discuss the heroic efforts of the Panamanian contingent against Houston. Also, I bring up the new entrance rules instituted at Avaya and how it made me feel like a cow going to slaughter and the next steel skeleton that has been erected across the street from the stadium.

In this inaugural episode of Football, Without Hesitation I explain the motivation behind starting a soccer podcast. It is going to be a weekly podcast where I talk about what caught my attention in the world of soccer. I will focus on MLS, especially the San Jose Earthquakes, and also talk about my hometown soccer scene in Salinas, CA.
