Puro SAFC Podcas‪t‬ Matthew Shaddock and Clayton Haden

USL may be over but international soccer is back! Clayton and Matt each name “Five Things They Are Excited To See” during this week’s FIFA games. For Clayton, it’s five games in five days. For Shaddock, it’s all USA after 286 days without a game. In Free Kicks, the boys discuss the bizarre end to the USL season. Enjoy!

Well folks, as you know, SAFC fell 1-0 in extra time to New Mexico at home in the opening round playoff game. After a week of rest, Matt and Clayton are ready to talk about the game. We look back on 2020, in terms of positives and negatives. Free Kicks stays in USL with the thorny situation out in Phoenix. Enjoy!

Clayton and Matt discuss what they will be looking for in Saturday night’s home playoff game vs. New Mexico United. We share the clues that will show if SAFC is having a good or bad game. Then, we boldly predict opposite results. Free Kicks gets spicy when we discuss Landon Donovan and San Diego Loyal walking off the field at halftime and forfeiting after alleged verbal abuse.

Clayton and Matt discuss SAFC’s entertaining but disappointing 1-0 loss to Tulsa Saturday night. Clayton wants consistency, not confusion, and Matt wants Parano in the middle! We look forward to the last game of the week vs Austin on Sunday as well as free kicks related to Americans abroad. Enjoy!

Clayton declares his love for new forward signing Jordan Perruzza, who bagged a brace on Saturday night. We dedicate the episode to his Canadian-Italian origin story, his two bangers on Saturday night, and Perruzza-adjacent topics like the new formation, team injuries, and other teenage heart-throbs Parano and Gallegos. Finally, free kicks take us to San Diego and Turin. Enjoy!

Clayton and Matt talk to you live from Toyota Field on a night out at SAFC as Austin comes to own. SAFC ended up winning 3-2. We recorded our thoughts both pre-game and at halftime. We talk the 2-1 loss at El Paso, the new 3 forward formation, and new young starlet in from Toronto. SAFC is back at home this Saturday night for the last home game of our short season. As always, free kicks. Enjoy!
