Pitch Report

San Diego FC makes history by defeating LAFC in the SoCal Derby, securing their record-setting 7th consecutive road win and staying just one point shy of the Supporters’ Shield. Meanwhile, Mario opens up about a potentially catastrophic draft strategy in Fantasy Football that could derail his season before it even begins! 

Beyond MLS and Fantasy talk, we also dive into Manchester United’s disastrous start to the season, the summer transfer shakeups with Son Heung-Min and Gigi Donnarumma, and Liverpool’s bold move to sign Alexander Isak.

All this and more on another episode of Pitch Report!

San Diego FC get the dub! Two late goals in the 79th and 87th minute seal a comeback win, and Mario & Amilcar are here to talk about what that says about the team’s mentality, midfield dominance, and whether this was the back-and-forth battle Mario has wanted.

Shoutout to Anders Dreyer for another quietly brilliant performance. Is he the key to keeping this offense flowing?
