Puro SAFC

We’re back and talking SAFC…. Eventually! First we talk Euro Trip 2024: Germany, euro cup games, fans, fan zones, stadiums… it was a great time and that’s where our heads (and pod minds) have been. Next: who should replace Gregg Berhalter as USA coach? Finally, we get to the local squad: what been wrong, what went right against Phoenix, and what we hope to see in the second half of the season. Enjoy!

Clayton and Shaddock are back to discuss a low point for SAFC: consecutive losses to the last place teams in the Western Conference: El Paso and Tulsa. All is not lost, as a whole XI of SAFC players were absent due to injury and international duty. Once he dust clears, we go on to discuss this weekend’s game away to Indy XI, and free kicks about the USA loss and the upcoming Euro Cup. This week’s German tidbit: get naked! Enjoy!

Clayton and Shaddock are back to discuss SAFC’s gutsy 1-0 win over Memphis last Saturday night. Just one sub? Just two shots in goal? No problem. The win puts the team back in 5th place with two games coming up: home to El Paso Wednesday and away to Tulsa on Saturday. We then look around the league, and free kicks about SAFC Alumni, upcoming USA games, and our next Euro 2024 German Culture Minute: Don’t Make Nazi Jokes. Enjoy!

Clayton and Shaddock are back after a week off to review SAFC’s 2-1 loss to New México away at the Lab. New Mexico was everything SAFC wasn’t: ball-dominant, dangerous, and composed. I cheer Clayton up with some Soccer Enthusiasm rankings, leading into a preview of the upcoming Memphis and El Paso games. Finally, we go around the league, update Pick Four Standings, and a very special German Free Kick. Are you a Sitzpinkler? Enjoy!

First, we talk ACL’s released lineup! Then, things get real: Worst Week Ever? The Bad Old Days are Back? That’s what Clayton and Shaddock are pondering. We review SAFC’s drab 2-0 loss at Indy XI in the US Open Cup, then follow up with the poor 1-1 tie at home against lowly Las Vegas. A red card, early goals, poor play earned some dire results leading into the bye week. What have we learned after 10 weeks? Listen to find out. As always, around the USL and Free Kicks about a young SAFC academy player and one from Philly making international headlines. Enjoy!

We’re back! On a Tuesday night in the Shadpad, Clayton and Shaddock watch the US Open Cup match Detroit vs Houston while we review the last two SAFC games: a 2-1 loss to a bad Miami team, and a 2-2 home tie against an experimental Oakland squad. What gives? Next up is a revenge match at home vs. Vegas this Saturday. As always, a free kick of Tractors and Cupsets.

It’s Fiesta Season and SAFC is away on the road. We review the team’s 3-1 win in windy Hartford on Saturday afternoon. Fiesta Clayton and Yes Man Shaddock watched the game together and we have thoughts. Next, it’s on to THE Miami FC , who sit in last place in the East. We update you on scores around the USL and Free Kicks, as always. Enjoy and Be Safe this Fiesta Season,

It’s Fiesta time in San Antonio! First, we talk Fiesta favorites. Next, lots of interesting news from SAFC’s leadership shared at a recent breakfast with the Hispanic Chamber of Commerce downtown. A women’s team? Feruzzi’s role? We dig into the business of soccer. Then, we discuss SAFC’s 0-0 forgettable draw with the OC. What’s next? A Fiesta Road Trip to Hartford and Miami over the next 10 days. Then, we celebrate our new leader in the Puro Four aka Can You Beat a Six Year Old? Finally, free kicks in Wrexham and Boerne. Enjoy!

It was a total eclipse in Texas, and a disappointing 1-0 loss for SAFC on the road in Las Vegas. Vegas is much improved, and SAFC fell back to some bad habits. The tv product was not great - we were much more impressed with the USL in CBS Saturday afternoon. Finally, we preview this week’s home game vs the OC, check out scores around the league, and salute the Champions League and women’s soccer in SA. Enjoy!
