One last game for FC Dallas before the 2026 FIFA World Cup interrupts the MLS regular season. Sam, Garrett, and Premier League champion Ryan Figert talk through a big loss for Dallas because of the aforementioned World Cup, some important roster decisions Eric Quill has to make due to good form, and taking advantage of a sometimes overly physical squad in Colorado.

We know what you're here for FC Dallas fans. It's what we're all here for. Ryan, Garrett, and Steve break down what's happened in Burn Land since the last time they convened for the Agenda. That includes a pair of great wins against RSL and San Jose along with a hard fought loss to Vancouver. They talk about the goalie switch made during the San Jose win, how the midfield is powering Dallas through this stretch, a trio of FCD players heading to the World Cup, and of course a long discussion about THAT Sam Sarver moment and all that entails. Trust me if you want Sam Sarver talk, we've got you covered.

If that wasn't enough this week Ryan and Garrett are joined by Indiana men's soccer head coach Todd Yeagley who recruited and coached Sam in college (41:20).

They talk about Todd's first impressions of Sam, what he was like as a Hoosier...before Sam himself crashes the interview! It then turns into a conversation between coach and former player where Sam reveals where he got the idea for the scuba celebration, which former MLS player DMed him about it, and so much more. It's a truly fun moment you won't hear anywhere else.

The FC Dallas Agenda publishes (almost) every Wednesday during the regular season as a part of the FC Dallas Radio Network. The hosts of the FC Dallas Agenda are Ryan Figert, Garrett Melcer, and Steve Davis. The executive producer of the FC Dallas Radio Network is Sam Hale.
