Two matches, two wins for FC Dallas in Portugal as they took care of (sorta) Brondby 5-2 on Monday. Ryan, Garrett, and Steve convene to discuss the second preseason outing in Portugal including a new tactical wrinkle, who impressed, and more.

Our interview this week features our first ever three time guest, and it's manager Eric Quill. Ryan sits down with the second year bench boss to talk the difference a year makes in preseason, the benefits of doing training camp half a world away, and more.

Then the lads finish up with a recap of FC Dallas academy products around the world including one Champions League scorer staying put and another rumored on the move.

In the face of impending Artic doom and a six hour time difference across the Atlantic, the FC Dallas Agenda remains unphased as the lads reconvene for their second episode of the new season. Ryan, Garrett, and Steve spend a lot of time breaking down the club's first preseason game, a 4-nil victory against Portimonense. They talk through who played, who didn't, and who performed well in the sixty minute preseason debut. They also break down who succeeded at karaoke after the victory.

Speaking of debuts Ryan spoke with one of Dallas' new signings this winter Herman Johansson. They talk about the Swede's journey to Dallas and his impressions of his new team among other things.

The lads then finish up with a bit of roster and league news including a familiar loan for a Dallas player and some transfer window changes made by the league.

After a shorter winter than last, the FC Dallas Agenda is back for its second season covering all things FC Dallas soccer. Ryan Figert, Garrett Melcer, and Steve Davis spend the first segment getting you back up to speed on everything you might have missed the Burn doing during this off-season. Signings, departures, the Superdraft, all that and more are covered.

Then the first guest of the year is a big one, as FC Dallas Chief Soccer Officer Andre Zanotta joins the Agenda for a long ranging interview. He talks the new signings from this off-season, the status of Dallas' open Designated Player Spot, the process behind Dallas' current player acquisition strategy, and what he's looking forward to most as the team heads to Portugal later this week.

To close out the season 2 debut the lads talk about the one big thing they each want to see from the club as they go through their initial workouts ahead of the February 21st opener against Toronto FC at Toyota Stadium.
