3rd Degree the Podcast #354

Dan Crooke showed up as questionable on this week's injury report and then failed the game time test, so your hosts - Peter Welpton and Buzz Carrick - had to go on without their Lutonian this week.

FC Dallas took on perhaps the best in MLS, San Diego FC, granted a well-rotated version. Despite going down 3-1, your hoops didn't give up and fought back with their new 3-4-3 and a high press. Petar Musa had a hat trick to earn MLS Player of the Matchday. Nolan Norris fared well, and Kacik was a high-pressure machine. Houston Dynamo is up next, will we see this new shape and tactic?

Dallas Trinity grabbed a point on the road at DC Power, thanks to false-9 Bethany Bos. They then went and added a new center back, US U23 Sydney Cheesman, and look ahead to Lexington Sporting Club on Wednesday to kick off 4 straight at the Cotton Bowl.

North Texas SC played in some really poor conditions, falling to Austin FC 1-0 after getting a first-half red card.

Plus, the new USMNT kits are out.
