Craig Elsten, Tony Sanchez and Alex Peña start off with some World Cup chatter, then dig into the first moves made by San Diego FC in the summer transfer window. Is there another left wing coming in for a third DP spot? What's (not) happening with Chucky? And how will two new veteran adds, in the midfield and back line, help SDFC find a new gear? Then, a look at the challenge ahead for a club sitting in 12th place in the Western Conference, how many points will it take to reach the playoffs? We hear training ground sound from Tyler Heaps, Mikey Varas and new midfielder Gabriel Pirani. Lastly, a look at Wednesday night's away match against Colorado Rapids. We'll be back with a new episode on Thursday, and a live post-match show on YouTube after SDFC/Dallas FC on Saturday night!","meta_description":"The Chromaniacs are back for the second half of the MLS season!
