The KickAround

This is the one where Andy and Peter marvel at the pure futility of a Burnley/Fulham result, interview a Dallas product who was drafted by a MLS club, and talk to Buzz about all of the different things taking place at FCD.

This is the one where Andy & Peter analyze the wonderful ManCity/Liverpool game, wonder if Pulisic went to the right place and review the “Sunderland Til I Die” series.

This is the one where Andy & Peter catch up to the EPL at its midway point, and Holiday Fixture Cluster Fudge. Plus, a discussion on the Pulisic sale rumors and the latest on the Columbus/Austin resolution.

This is the one where Andy & Peter get excited over an actual top-o-table EPL battle going into the Holiday Fixture Cram. Plus, the guys review their talk with new FCD manager Luchi Gonzalez and some ranting about the club’s refusal to buy a known quantity.

This is the one where Luchi makes his Ticket and KickAround debut as the new Manager of FC Dallas. We get the ‘elephant in the room’ question out of the way first and begin to dig into his style of play and plans.

This is the one where Andy & Peter are actually back together – for the first time in a while – and catch up on all the EPL excitement, specifically because there’s an actual race at the bottom and TOP.  Plus, Peter reviews his big English Soccer Trip, Andy tells all about his trip to ATL for MLS Cup 2018 and Jamie Lovegrove of the Sidekicks visits to mark the return of the great indoor club.

This is the one where Andy has to call in from Atlanta, in his effort to remain only one of three people known to have attended every MLS Cup, so Jeff Catlin and Buzz Carrick fill in.  Lots to absorb after some weeks off, and include SuperClassico, FCDallas and USSF talk.

This is the one where Andy & Peter deal with the news Oscar Pareja is leaving FC Dallas. *sad face emoji*

This is the one where Andy & Peter, after three weeks of being preempted, get to talk ARSvLIV and catch up on all the EPL and Champions’ League going-on’s they’d missed.  Plus, group therapy about the shocking end to FC Dallas’ 2018 season.

Does this thing work, and will anyone care?  The debut of 3rd Degree – The Podcast, where we discuss FCD’s loss in DC, their upcoming – and probably foretelling – game vs SKC and Buzz explains why Pareja has turned to a “grind it out” style of play.
