Dustin is joined by Nico from FC Dallas Nation to talk about FC Dallas’ 1-1 draw with top of the league LAFC.
It was a butt-clincher for FC Dallas fans from the moment Matt Hedges got sent off, but the night saw a much improved performance from 3 days prior.
Plus! Audio from John Nelson on his experience and expectations in his young career.

Closing out our Mother’s Day specials, Dustin spoke with Kanikah Perry-Acosta, the mom of Colorado Rapids midfielder and former FC Dallas homegrown, Kellyn Acosta.
Kanikah talked about the controlled chaos that comes with having a kid in the FC Dallas academy, cooking for Kellyn and his friends, how she felt when Kellyn moved to Colorado, and much more!
Continuing our Mother’s Day specials, Dustin caught up Carrie Richards, the mom of Bayern Munich and former FC Dallas homegrown player, Chris Richards.
Carrie shared stories of carting Chris around for practices, making tough decisions in tough financial times, sending 16 year old Chris to another state to live with a family she’d never met, what its like to have a kid playing on another continent, plus much more!
Since Mother’s Day is this weekend, we wanted to take a bit of time to shine some light on the mom’s behind the players we love watch. Raising a professional athlete is no easy task, but these women were up for the challenge!
Dustin caught up with Reggie Cannon’s mom, Tracy Cannon-Smith, to talk about what it was like to raise a pro. They talked about her family, her career, traveling for Reggie’s soccer, balancing all 4 of her kids with the demands of elite soccer, and much more!
If you’ve been following along on Twitter, you’ve seen a rash of player signings coming from upstart NPSL team Denton Diablos FC as they prepare for their inaugural season. Watching those player-signing announcements roll across his feed got Dustin curious about the process of filling out a roster from scratch and all that that entails.
He caught up with Diablos head coach Chad Rakestraw to ask him those questions, what success looks like in the first year of the club, what fans can expect on game days in Denton, and more!
