We know this is a thankless job, but we appreciate you taking the time and effort it takes to keep this going . Objective,thoughtful and well done.
As a day 1 season ticket holder (section 101) we love what you all do.
This podcast is obviously a labor of love—when SDFC does well, Craig, Tony and Alex are genuinely enthusiastic, and when the team struggles, you can hear the frustration underlying their constructive criticism. Just like the team’s fans, these guys care as if the team has been around for decades. We are witnessing one of the most exciting team debuts in soccer history, and San Diego sports history, and having the Chromaniacs along for the ride to break it down in real time makes it all the more ... more
Great pod on SDFC. It’s really starting to hit its stride. Look forward to every episode.
I have no problem with podcasters trying to get revenue from their work with the use of commercials. But I listened to one episode here that had continuous commercial interruptions. It seemed like about every 10 minutes they were inserted haphazardly right in the middle of conversations. Made the whole experience unlistenable.
Best independent podcast on the best MLS club in the West, SDFC! Fantastic analysis from hosts Alex, Tony, and Craig and a must listen for anyone else just starting this journey of following SDFC and the MLS!

A riff-heavy, analytics-forward soccer show centered on San Diego FC, MLS, and broader CONCACAF discussions. Hosts analyze recent matches with tactical eye, lineup decisions, and player development, while weaving in World Cup context, transfer chatter, and club culture. A standout aspect is the youth-first approach and a growing emphasis on coaching insight and internal team dynamics, often featuring direct coaching perspectives from a guest (notably Mikey Varas) and frequent previews of upcoming fixtures. The format blends in-depth tactical breakdown with informal banter, humor, and fan-focused commentary, making it helpful for fans seeking clear explanations of on-pitch decisions and for sponsors wanting a dedicated MLS-adjacent audience ... more
