    Mar 13 2026
    Down a goal, down a man, San Diego FC accomplished something few in the soccer world thought possible, beating Toluca 3-2 on Wednesday night at Snapdragon Stadium. While the road to advancing remains steep, SDFC's win playing 10-on-11 and then 9-on-11 stands as one of the best in franchise history, if not *the* best. On this episode, which aired live on Thursday, March 12, 2026, Craig Elsten, Tony Sanchez and Alex Peña went through some of the heroes of the match:


    • Durran Ferree
    • Manu Duah
    • Luca Bombino
    • Anders Dreyer
    • ...and so many more!
    Plus, how will Mikey Varas adjust his lineup against FC Dallas on Saturday night, and what is he willing to risk to keep legs fresh for the high altitude of La Bombanera next Wednesday? Then, we hear post-match sound from Mikey Varas, Antonio Mohamed, Anders Dreyer and Luca Bombino!

    Chromaniacs Post-Match Show: SDFC 1 Sporting KC 0
    Mar 9 2026
    Craig Elsten, Alex Peña and SanDiego.Futbol's Abraham Zepeda got together live on YouTube Saturday night for the Chromaniacs Post-Match Show after a San Diego FC 1-0 victory away at Sporting KC. Durran Ferree started in net for the third straight match and delivered a third straight clean sheet, making two huge saves at the end of the match to seal the victory. Anders Dreyer scored for San Diego and SDFC kept the heat on the Kansas City net with multiple scoring chances. Now, with Toluca looming, how does the club reset for CONCACAF Champions Cup play on Wednesday?

    Tony Sanchez was away for this one but dropped in at the halfway point, and inadvertently ended our live broadcast, splitting the post-match show in two on YouTube! Here, we have spliced both halves together. But if you're wondering why we make so many jokes at the expense of "Tony the Torpedo" in the second half of the show, that's why!
