We start with trivia, end with places you can watch tonight's match, and discuss an epic (that doesn't necessarily mean good) come-from-behind win.
We had a little fun in this episode, recreating something that happened in the press conference room before things started on Wednesday night.
(Warning: There's also a bit of glitchy sound in spots; Phil was recording from a hotel room in San Antonio. We cleaned it up as best we could.)
Also: In this episode, Moisés Chiullán and Phil West (with Phil recording from a hotel in San Antonio) reflect on Austin FC's near-disaster against El Paso Locomotive FC in U.S. Open Cup play, discuss the upcoming match against FC Cincinnati, ponder lineup possibilities in future weeks given how long certain players remained on the field last Wednesday, touch on the other upcoming match against Atlanta, and give you several watch options for upcoming away matches.

And if you missed Episode 45, a quasi-emergency post recorded after the Minnesota loss, it might make you feel better.
