Seriously Loco Soccer Pod Seriously Loco

Phil and Christian meet up in-person for the first live episode of Seriously Loco since 2020. They have a time talking about El Paso Locomotive's 3-2 loss to Oakland Roots in the USL Championship and just how bad the mood is in the EP camp. Goals for Amando Moreno and Justin Dhillon were not enough to stave off Niall Logue (assisted by Memo Diaz) and Johnny Rodriguez. Some discussion then about the match against Union Omaha in the US Open Cup and a brief look ahead to Tampa Bay Rowdies away.

Phil and Christian get together to talk about El Paso Locomotive's US Open Cup draw against Union Omaha in a rematch from 2023's tournament which Locomotive lost 2-0. Then it was onto Locomotive's 1-0 in the USL Championship to Las Vegas Lights and why midfield played an important part. Then it was onto the main event in previewing the Derby Del Camino Real against New Mexico where all Locomotive fans will be hoping that Amando Moreno has a big say against his former club to get Locomotive's 2024 campaign off the ground in earnest.

The gang is all here as Phil, Mikka and Christian get together to chat El Paso Locomotive's 1-0 loss to Louisville City, the challenges the team had with a lack of rotation, the Brandan Craig injury and the overall lack of cutting edge in this side. Is it a personnel issue, a tactical issue or simply an issue of time? Then they look ahead to the away match in Las Vegas against a Lights side that is just a little more serious than they were the last time these two teams met.

Phil and Mikka are back to discuss El Paso Locomotive's 1-0 Opening Night loss to Hartford Athletic. The crew discuss the new look team which saw 8 debuts, what went wrong on the night but primarily what went right. Lucas Stauffer and Bolu Akinyode in particular impressed, while it looked like Amando Moreno and Justin Dhillon were robbed of a good goal contribution by a wayward offside flag. 
Then it's a look ahead to Monterey Bay as they visit Southwest University Park this Wednesday where Locomotive can bounce back with all 3 points.

Phil and Mikka return for a 6th season of El Paso Locomotive in the USL Championship. The first discussion takes us through a roster shake up that saw Locomotive add loads of USL-proven talent and some young pieces to make for a roster that should contend out West. Then they discuss Brendan Burke and his Hartford Athletic side which make the trip out to Southwest University Park to open the season.

Phil and Mikka sit down with El Paso Locomotive and El Salvador central midfielder Eric Calvillo to talk about the upcoming USL Championship season. Eric discusses his travels with the El Salvador National Team and seeing Lionel Messi in person, talks about changes to the 2024 El Paso Locomotive squad and how he is ready to go and chase a title this year.
