The Team of Buzz,Andy and Dan have lots of great information about FCDALLAS. I recently started listening to them again and will be a listening for a long time. If you want to know what’s going on with our Favorite Home team this is where to get the most info.
despite not doing this as a full time job buzz, Peter, and dan are pros. Great pod, great soccer insight
3rd degree is such a great asset for FCD and MLS in general.
I started listening to get updates about USYNT players but quickly became a FC Dallas fan. A fantastic podcast that I would recommend to all USMNT or MLS fans. All hosts are great, but Buzz is the headliner. Hard to find a more knowledgeable and trustworthy soccer reporter than Buzz. Also I absolutely love this intro song!
Great coverage of FC Dallas by Buzz, Peter, and Dan. This is one of my favorite podcasts, with super insightful and honest thoughts on what is happening with the club. I always love when we hear coverage of NTXSC, and they cover local soccer in Dallas as well. If you’re a fan of FCD you need to be listening to this podcast!
