    #6: SDFC's Summer Sun Run Continues--Interviews with Dreyer, McVey and Varas--Houston Dynamo Preview
    Jul 4 2025
    It's summer in San Diego, SDFC is #1 in the Western Conference and perfect on a three-match road trip, Anders Dreyer is an MVP candidate, and the stadium atmosphere is vibrant and rocking. What more could a San Diego soccer fan ask for?

    On this week's episode of the Chromaniacs, Craig Elsten, Tony Sanchez and Alex Peña look back at a magical comeback in the heat at FC Dallas. What should the nickname be for the three-headed-attack of Chucky Lozano, Milan Iloski and Anders Dreyer? Take a moment to reflect on where this expansion team is today, now.

    Then, Tony visited SDFC training grounds to bring back interviews with newly contract-extended center back Christopher McVey, MLS MVP favorite Anders Dreyer, and head coach Mikey Varas.

    In "Voice of the Supporter", @terriblesdfcmemes joins us to tell us about being a member of The Riptides, what lured him to supporter culture and how the north section continues to grow together.

    The guys wrap up with a look ahead to Saturday night's home match against Houston Dynamo.

    Craig Elsten, Tony Sanchez and Alex Peña are back for another weekly conversation about San Diego FC.

Milan Iloski continues to turn heads, is it time for a new contract and promotion to the starting lineup? Plus, thoughts on the upcoming summer transfer window and if SDFC should go for a third designated player (DP) or stay on the Under-22 track.
