It's a doozy of a session this week on 3rd Degree the Podcast, cause it's a triple win (and a loss) episode. First, your hosts - Peter Welpton, Dan Crooke, and Buzz Carrick break down two FCD games against the best of the West, Vancouver and San Jose. The good and bad of both, and there was both in both.  Collodi vs Sirois. Delgado at the 9? Musa rolling. Kacik/Ramiro up and down. Stone Cold Sam Sarver is a national treasure. Lots of mids, lots of good parts, and a strong collective. The Rapids are up next. Plus, the MLS PA dropped the salary numbers for 2026. 

Then, Dallas Trinity put up a 4-0 beatdown in the final league game of the season to take the last playoff spot.  DTFC will be at Lexington now in the playoffs. The Golden Girls won their final two by a combined 6-0, riding their best player, a teenager playing for free. Buzz says they need to do something about that. 

North Texas SC stopped Sporting 2 with Nys and Natty James rolling.  
Athetico Dallas has a reserve team already playing and rolled out teasers of their Cotton Bowl plans. 
Rodeo SC is taking another year before they launch on the field. That's a good thing.
Finally, Peter and Dan got a tour of the AT&T surface for the World Cup.
