3rd Degree the Podcast #377

There were no games this last weekend to talk about on this episode of 3rd Degree the Podcast, but you don't know your hosts - Peter Welpton, Dennis McGowan, and Buzz Carrick - if you think that means they got nothing to talk about.

Starting with FC Dallas and what a fantastic stretch run there is to look forward to. Yes, Petar Musa is key, but so is Joaquín Valiente. Does this team have a first XI? What's more important in the playoffs: home field or a certain opponent? Charlotte is ahead this weekend, and Buzz has a small concern. The fellas on SoccerWise enjoyed Peter's Sack-Assist stat from last week.

Dallas Trinity also returns to action with a roady at Brooklyn (no sleep 'till). Is that the worst home field in US pro soccer? Coach Nguyen has some tough decisions to make in his XI each week, but he's also got some looming this winter, as the sprint season is already half over.

And with all the young talent coming into the USMNT, Peter asks the question, "Where has all the FC Dallas-to-the-US talent gone?"Music by Pappy Check!
