This week, Moisés Chiullán and Phil West are not worried about the Mikkel Desler injury, or no goals from open play from Austin FC in the first three matches, or the early working theory about 2025 Dani Pereira, or the match at LAFC on Saturday, or last night's VerDos match that ended like a certain first-team match from a couple of weeks ago, or the great emotional attachment people seem to have with their Whataburger, but they might be a little concerned about whether or not the sandwich artists at Thundercloud can get it together for people who just want to adhere to arcane Lenten dietary...

info_outlineIn this episode, Moisés Chiullán and Phil West look at Austin FC's 2025 schedule and discuss what immediately jumps out to them, including seven league matches in the month of May alone. They also talk about Verde's three new assistant coaches who are all 30somethings, Spanish, and attractive, and talk about about the league just casually dropping each team's GAM totals as if to mock all the hard-working nerds that had been calculating their favorite club's GAM themselves. They also talk about a possible new VerDos signing named Vlad. (Also, there's news of a survey to come and a possible change with the start of the new year; look to Verde All Day for that survey soon.)
