A slightly different feel to the Agenda this week for a couple reasons. The big one being we're leading with our interview this time around. How could we not when it's Da Boy on the guest list. Sebastian Lletget joins the Agenda for the first time this season to talk a myriad of topics, including (somehow) a potential new nickname for Dallas' erstwhile midfield statesman. Then the main Agenda gets rolling with a substitution, as the FC Dallas insider Garrett Melcer was a late scratch due to illness. That means Ryan, Steve, and producer Sam take up the mics this week to talk about the Burn's revolving door in midfield, why it has/hasn't worked, and what they think might be the best practice going forward for the Toros in the pitch's center.It's game preview time after that and what a game is coming to Toyota Stadium. LAFC makes their only scheduled stop in Frisco Saturday featuring newly signed star Son Heung-Min. The lads talk about the impact Korea's top athlete will have in his first Frisco trip while also touching on a low key stellar MLS matchup that fans will see between the lines.0:54 Sebastian Lletget interview19:45: FC Dallas' 2025 midfield: A review53:12 Son Heung-Min/LAFC come to FriscoThe FC Dallas Agenda publishes (almost) every Wednesday as a part of the FC Dallas Radio Network.
