25 Episodes
Reverse
Moisés Chiullan and Phil West check back in after several weeks away, discussing the roster moves that Austin FC has made, and what's left to be done to finish the project of making the 2025 roster. Also, Verde probably needs a striker, so they entertain the Marvin Ducksch rumor and weigh whether German Budget Chicho Arango is the move. Also, one of us does some impressions you may or may not enjoy. Only one way to find out.
This week, Moisés Chiullán and Phil West are back and discussing Austin FC's new coach, the Berhalter-adjacent Spaniard who was most recently at FC Dallas. After pondering that, including Phil recalling a weird interview experience from 2022, they get into the four player renewals that also dominated the week's Austin FC news, and what might be next from the offseason advent calendar.
For Austin FC fans, as Moisés Chiullán and Phil West discuss, life after Josh Wolff meant a Rodolfo Borrell press conference where he touched on the new coaching search, who will serve as interim, what will happen with some current players, and other miscellaneous ponderings about the future. For Emergency Podcast, we're looking for now outro cue ideas now that we've retired the "Where's Phil?" clip.
It happened. Moisés Chiullán and Phil West discuss Josh Wolff's dismissal from Austin FC, the vibes in recent press conferences, and what comes next.
This week, Moisés Chiullán and Phil West lament the state of things for Austin FC, who are not officially mathematically eliminated from the playoffs just yet but about as close as you can be to that. They contemplate the future, and then because it's more fun to talk about, get into Austin FC II's playoff chances (which exist).
In this episode, Moisés Chuillán and Phil West serve two masters: An Austin FC II team who looks as if it could possibly make the playoffs, and an Austin FC team whose playoff odds have dwindled to 4% on Saturday night according to one nerdy site. They talk about VerDos' win over DynamoDos and Verde's loss to Toronto FC, ponder Josh Wolff's future, and do way more examination of the MLS Next Pro table than you've done lately.
Moisés Chiullan and Phil West indulge in a little bit of happiness about how the Austin FC match against Nashville went before delving into issues that have come to light in the loss to Vancouver. Those included the resultant gloomier playoff picture, how Sebastián Driussi hasn't scored a goal in 11 straight league matches, and why Oleksandr Svatok is still waiting to play his first MLS game. They also get into some weirdness from the Nashville match they haven't gotten to explore yet.
Heat is one of the topics of the day, as it typically is in August in Austin, especially for one Oleksandr Svatok. In this episode, Moisés Chiullan and Phil West talk about Svatok's acclimation to the heat (as well as when he might play), Brendan Hines-Ike's intriguing comments on how Verde defends, and since there's finally a game to talk about again, they delve into Nashville SC a bit. Also: toenails and hot wings!
After a brief hiatus to coincide with Austin FC's exit from Leagues Cup, Moisés Chiullán and Phil West are back with some Leagues Cup observations, including ways to make the tournament shorter, better, and partially hosted by Mexican teams. They also walk through each of Austin FC's last nine games to predict whether or not the team makes the playoffs, and assess the summer transfer window even though it ended a little underwhelmingly.
It's a quasi-emergency for Moisés Chiullán and Phil West, who decided to record on a Wednesday following Austin FC's Leagues Cup victories against Pumas UNAM and CF Monterrey. They discuss what this means for the remainder of the regular season, what could happen in the Leagues Cup knockout rounds, what to glean from news about the player that Austin FC didn't get in the summer transfer window, and a theory on who might exit the Austin FC roster next. Also, Phil was recording in the vicinity of five dogs, so that's explored in its own inimitable way.
Leagues Cup is here! While that doesn't necessarily excite everyone, Moisés Chiullán and Phil West discuss Austin FC's matchups with Pumas UNAM and CF Monterrey, the controversy surrounding Leagues Cup and Open Cup and whether they can co-exist, the kerfuffle over Dani Pereira and the proposed fan boycott (and the perils of the reporter becoming part of the story), and a brief detour into Canada's soccer drones.
This week, Phil West and Moisés Chiullán discuss rough matches against Seattle Sounders FC and FC Dallas, stadium food in Frisco, things Alex Ring said (and why we still like talking to him), Osman Bukari's first experience with jollof rice in Austin, and some Wolff Out matters (but maybe not in the way that you think.)
This week, Phil West and Moisés Chiullán talk about Austin FC's upcoming matches against Seattle Sounders FC and FC Dallas, even with the shadow of Gregg Berhalter's dismissal as the U.S. Men's National Team coach lingering over everything. They also put Gyasi Zardes in charge of a bunch of things, including fixing the U.S. Open Cup, and continue to count the days until Osman Bukari gets to play for Verde.
High off Portugal's exit from the Euros at the hands of their beloved France, Phil West and Moisés Chiullán discuss the recent loss to Sporting Kansas City and the offensive woes that were further revealed, what lies in wait Saturday night with Austin FC's match against NYCFC, and then they take a detour into Gregg Berhalter and the U.S. men's national team before taking further detours into clack fans and a YouTube channel run by precocious children.
This week, Phil West and Moisés Chiullán talk about the Osman Bukari welcome party, how to correctly pronounce Osman Bukari, Austin nightclubs that Austin FC could use for future welcome parties, some secrets that Rodolfo Borrell divulged about acquiring the trio of new players, Josh Wolff's first rule of coaching, whether Peter Vermes might someday be coaching 11 cockroaches in a post-apocalyptic wasteland, and which VerDos players might be called up now that Alonso Ramirez can't be.
This week, Phil West and Moisés Chiullán discuss the wisdom of going to five in the back to close out matches, Matthew McConaughey's "bottle it" tweet, Josh Wolff's need for "firepower," and share some early impressions about how Copa America might shape up.
In a special bonus mailbag edition, Phil West and Moisés Chiullán cover the Bukari and Desler signings in some detail, revisit the fun Miguel Borja rumors from this past January, predict how Rodolfo Borrell will celebrate once the roster's been scrubbed of Claudio Reyna contracts, and get into the feelings of being a soccer fan. (Note: This was recorded on Monday afternoon, and finally polished to a fine podcast gem on Wednesday morning.)
In an international break in which you may have already forgotten about the heady rush of the official green smoke-aided Mikkel Desler announcement (which you already all knew about), Phil West is joined by Zac Graham of the North End Podcast to talk about how to execute a "three-beer half," Jock Jams, the Austin FC season so far, and the 9+2 theory that could lead you to some spirited starter vs. bench depth debates to keep you sated until the next episode of Denverde restarts the season on June 15. (Somehow, they didn't bring up their mutual love for Victor Wembenyama, but they did manage a bit of Best Ball talk.)
Phil West is joined by Michelle Sanchez for an Andrew Wiebe fashion report, thoughts on Austin FC's signing of Osman Bukari, the current woes of Sebastián Driussi (with three distinctly bummer-making words, "chronic groin injury"), further thoughts on Emiliano Rigoni's departure, and what Owen Wolff should do at this phase of his career.
This week, Phil West and Moisés Chiullán discuss the sudden departure of designated player Emiliano Rigoni, the differing accounts of how said departure unfolded, the transfer rumors involving Osman Bukari and (hold on, let me cut and paste for these accents; there's no way I'm finding these on my keyboard otherwise) Marius Ștefănescu, and the actual emergency of just 16 healthy field players shortly before three matches in eight days.
