Hey, there. Thanks for listening, liking, and subscribing! Jose Carmona and Nathan jump into things right away, looking back at an ultimately disappointing loss in Charlotte for FC Dallas.

We are back after a Labor Day break. And we have a lot on the buffet table as FC Dallas are on a roll, climbing to 3rd in the Major League Western Conference table after three straight wins. The team is clicking. They are dawgs. Quill has this group of guys fighting for every opportunity, and we...

Afterburn Soccer Show - Aug. 31, 2026
Hey, folks, as we launched the stream on Monday night, my workhorse Mac mini M4 decided to crash. But I was able to restart the stream and we got through a fun one, even as a virus hits the Hill household. FC Dallas and North Texas SC are finding results. They may not be pretty. We may have...

Afterburn Soccer Show - August 24, 2026
We had a great show last night, with a few audio fixes even though our boy Collin glitched via that cellphone coverage out in Texas. Once you get past that, this was a great show. Collin, Jose, and Nathan broke down a full week for FC Dallas and North Texas Soccer Club, including a big away win…

Afterburn Soccer Show - August 3, 2026
Special thanks to Jose Carmona for joining us on this one!

Still…...

Afterburn Soccer Show - July 27, 2026
Jose and I jumped on for a nice and tidy show after a not-so-great week for FC Dallas and North Texas SC. Jose is quick to point out that just 1 point from two road matches was a little bit unlucky this time around, and he has a point. San Diego’s single goal was a shot that most often goes wide....

Watch Party in Seoul: South Korea vs Mexico
Here’s a short video with a glimpse of the energetic and massive crowds gathered near the statue of King Sejong in Seoul to watch South Korea take on Mexico. Unfortunately, my little wireless microphone didn’t work as great as I wanted, but the noise from the speakers, live band, and crowd was...

Afterburn Soccer Show - April 21, 2026

Afterburn Soccer Show - April 13, 2026
Another week, another good show - despite a draw-heavy weekend for FC Dallas and North Texas Soccer Club. We start the show by looking at FC Dallas’ draw versus St Louis.

Afterburn Soccer Show - March 9, 2026
Welcome back to the Afterburn Soccer Show, two weeks into an intriguing season. And, yeah, FC Dallas played a great game in Los Angeles, unlucky not to come away with some kind of point to show for it. We talk about the performance, a strong first start from Valiente, a debut from Ricky Louis…

Eric Quill on Christian Cappis: "He's a winner."
There is no bigger story to FC Dallas’ transfer signings than… Christian Cappis. No, Lucho Acosta, as heralded as his arrival was, did not have the same impact as Cappis this season. In fact, Acosta is gone, and Cappis is now anchoring a resurgent midfield. But Christian Cappis, who at one point…

Reaction: Postseason Hopes Remain Alive for FC Dallas and North Texas
Rather than write something up, I popped open my phone camera to share a few thoughts of what was, in my opinion, a solid evening for FC Dallas and North Texas. FC Dallas held on to an away draw at St Louis, despite like 30 shots on goal and being down to ten players most of the match. Jacob...

Afterburn Soccer Show - August 25, 2025
Welcome to the Afterburn Soccer Show. We hit the topics quick and hard. Apologies in advance for Collin’s audio issues in this one - something up with his phone.

Hear FC Dallas head coach Eric Quill on Josh Torquato and Sam Sarver
I know there is some kind of All-Star game going on tonight, but FC Dallas fans aren’t really bothered by such diversions. Instead, we are basking in a 4-point week for our team, a rarity in what has been a tough season. Of the many questions troubling fans in Frisco, one has been the lack of...
