Darren Smith and John Gennaro talk about three San Diego FC players being on the U-20 USMNT and what it means for the rest of the team's regular season schedule, including tomorrow in Atlanta, before talking about the Padres dropping further behind the Dodgers to make the final nine games of the season all but meaningless.

Then, the guys welcome on Rob Usry from Five Stripe Final to talk about Atlanta United as a model for MLS expansion and what has happened to the club since its fast start in 2017. Could San Diego FC be caught in the same trap of struggling to find success after coming hot out of the gates?

Afterwards, Darren and John talk about what Saturday night's game at Snapdragon Stadium between the San Diego State Aztecs and the California Bears could mean, both good and bad, before ending the week with a round of Try This!
