Episode 97: The DJ Is On a Heater Emergency

In this episode, Moisés Chiullán and Phil West talk about this week's Open Cup weirdness, including a 14-year-old scoring on an MLS Next Pro team and a weird ending to the Sacramento Republic-El Farolito match (Mission Local has an arresting account) in which the in-stadium DJ tried to play peacemaker with, among other things, a Frankie Goes to Hollywood classic. They then delve into the first match of 2026 against a yet-to-be-scored LAFC, Verde's less-than-spectacular offensive numbers after four matches, and contemplate the possibility of a Svatok vs. Uzuni match to decide which European team goes to the World Cup.
