Last week on 3rd Degree the Podcast, it was looking so rosy for FCD. This week? Not so much as the Burn crashed back to earth with a series of mental switch-offs against NYCFC. You hosts - Peter Welpton and Buzz Carrick, Dan Crooke's computer is down - Get the not-so-fun task of digging into the errors and asking who is to blame; players, coach, or both?  10 games are left in the season, the team needs 15 points (probably), and things just aren't working. So important questions need to be asked... Does the club stick with Lucho Acosta or Eric Quill? Is it time to buy out Paxton Pomykal? Is it time to play the kids for 2026?

On the upside, North Texas SC won a trophy. Yes, another D3 title, so FCD is hyped.

Texoma FC lost in the USL Cup. Atletico Dallas isn't making much news. But the Dallas Trinity season is just around the corner. The FCD U23s fell in the semi-final.
