About this episode

The hosts discuss FC Dallas's season opener against Toronto FC and other soccer-related topics.

This week on 3rd Degree the Podcast, your hosts - Peter Welpton and Buzz Carrick - have to muddle through with half a Dan Crooke. But thankfully, Dennis McGowan was around to pick up Crooke's spare and finish the show. FC Dallas opened the season with a solid performance against Toronto FC to grab three home points. Farrington and Musa were lighting it up, the midfield played well, the wingbacks showed something, Collodi was solid, and the back line was shaky... all as expected. The kits look amazing, the TIFO was strong, and the 24-hour tailgate was a smash. Nashville SC is up next. Plus, the crew says so long to the great Paxton Pomykal. Dallas Trinity fell on the road at Carolina, and your hosts dig into what's not going well. The Trinity have their big friendly with the Houston Dash up next. Try not to look ahead to Lexington, ladies. And North Texas SC gets going this weekend. Music by Pappy Check.
