In this episode, we react to USL Cup Round 2 and start with the headline grabber: actor and former academy player Cristo Fernández (aka Dani Rojas from Ted Lasso) signing with El Paso Locomotive. We dig into what it actually means on the field, why this does not feel like a gimmick, and what a realistic role could look like as El Paso pushes toward the top of the West.

Round 2 also gave us real Cup moments across the map, led by Sporting JAX’s first official men’s pro win with a composed 2-0 result. Plus, we hit the standout performances and scorelines, including Colorado Springs’ 4-0 statement, Tampa Bay’s 4-1 road thumping, and Boise’s 4-3 comeback thriller, along with the other results that shaped the week.
