3rd Degree the Podcast3rd Degree the Podcast #268This week on 3rd Degree the Podcast, your hosts - Peter Welpton, Dan Crooke, and Buzz Carrick - get all the joys of a double win as FCD rides the wave of the coaching change. Big wins over St Louis and Minnesota have both good and bad moments.

3rd Degree the Podcast3rd Degree the Podcast #220This week on 3rd Degree the Podcast, your hosts - Peter Welpton, Dan Crooke, and Buzz Carrick - tell you why the Seattle tie was a pretty good result. There's plenty of good to take away from that game just in the form of an improved Sebastian Lletget. After a hit on Leagues Cup and what to expect, then it's time to talk window and moves. A Bryan Reynolds rumor? Can FCD ad anyone? Could a trade be in the cards? How about Alan Sonora? And never forget who owns this team and what that means. Plus North Texas SC...

Buzz has a training injury and form update as well as an instant scouting report (just add water) on Eugene Ansah. Per request topics include "Is there a silver lining to the season?" and "Does Jesus need to go to Europe?"

Both were very similar in style and quality, unsurprising given all the missing pieces, but one had a much better result than the other. And the transfer window is upon us! Eugene Ansah and Dante Sealy are in, but Justin Che is out. Could Jose Martinez be done? What else does FCD need? And why is Jesus Ferreira the Elephant in the room? All that and more on 3rd...

Jesus Ferreira is an All-Star, let's compare him with Brandon Vazquez. FCD can make some moves this summer. Dante Sealy is back but Justin Che isn't. FCD gets two key players back this week but injuries are still a massive weight on the team. And there's talk of Lionel Messi's hypothetical Leagues Cup in Dallas and the resulting ticket kerfuffle.

Plus FCD signed a striker and may have another on the way, the U19s are in the Semis, Dan gives us an FCD injury breakdown, Buzz talks possible Academy signings, and a few other bits are thrown in.

Not that they really want to with the craptastic game at Portland Timbers. Velasco was on the wrong side, nothing was created, dumb late-game shifts were made, and little positive happened beyond Maarten Paes saving FCD's bacon ov...

The list of injuries is crazy after Tsiki got hurt in the Bay. FCD played some Luchi Ball at the Quakes, recalled Collin Smith from loan, and started two Homegrowns in their MLS debut at Sporting. What a mess. Jesus Ferreira continues to do too much but is bar far the team's best player despite not getting a USMNT call for Nations League. All...
