On this week's edition of The Chromaniacs: Your questions, our answers! We asked for mailbag questions on our Instagram account, and we go through them all, from a possible SDFC mascot to Mikey Varas to possible new formations!Training Ground Sound: head coach Mikey Varas sounds his most defeated, while Anders Dreyer says they can "100%" make the playoffsWhat can SDFC expect across the country against New York Red Bulls?

Craig, Tony and Alex are back to explore one simple question: how the heck did SDFC put that result up on the board last Saturday at Austin? The Chrome and Azul played a horrible first half, turned on a dime to build a 3-0 lead, then gave up three goals in just over ten minutes to put the most disappointing draw in SDFC history up on the board, 3-3. Even worse: what if a team loses and there is no one in the media there to cover it? The show ends with a discussion of how the conglomeration of traditional media leads to a need for independent coverage if fans want real discussion of SDFC. (Apologies from the crew for intermittent audio issues in this one)
