Chromaniacs Post-Match Show: San Diego FC 3-2 Toluca FC (CONCACAF Champions Cup) Down a goal, down a man, San Diego FC accomplished something few in the soccer world thought possible, beating Toluca 3-2 on Wednesday night at Snapdragon Stadium. While the road to advancing remains steep, SDFC's win playing 10-on-11 and then 9-on-11 stands as one of the best in franchise history, if not *the* best. On this episode, which aired live on Thursday, March 12, 2026, Craig Elsten, Tony Sanchez and Alex Peña went through some of the heroes of the match:  - Durran Ferree - Manu Duah - Luca Bombino - Anders Dreyer - ...and so many more! Plus, how will Mikey Varas adjust his lineup against FC Dallas on Saturday night, and what is he willing to risk to keep legs fresh for the high altitude of La Bombanera next Wednesday? Then, we hear post-match sound from Mikey Varas, Antonio Mohamed, Anders Dreyer and Luca Bombino!

Chromaniacs Post-Match Show: SDFC 1 Sporting KC 0 Craig Elsten, Alex Peña and SanDiego.Futbol's Abraham Zepeda got together live on YouTube Saturday night for the Chromaniacs Post-Match Show after a San Diego FC 1-0 victory away at Sporting KC. Durran Ferree started in net for the third straight match and delivered a third straight clean sheet, making two huge saves at the end of the match to seal the victory. Anders Dreyer scored for San Diego and SDFC kept the heat on the Kansas City net with multiple scoring chances. Now, with Toluca looming, how does the club reset for CONCACAF Champions Cup play on Wednesday? Tony Sanchez was away for this one but dropped in at the halfway point, and inadvertently ended our live broadcast, splitting the post-match show in two on YouTube! Here, we have spliced both halves together. But if you're wondering why we make so many jokes at the expense of "Tony the Torpedo" in the second half of the show, that's why!

Chromaniacs Post Game: San Diego FC Clinch First Place and Set Records 4-0 at Portland Saturday night, San Diego FC beat down Portland Timbers 4-0 at Providence Park, and the result combined with a Vancouver loss gave SDFC first place in the Western Conference of MLS, setting all-time expansion season records for wins, points and away wins. While both Craig Elsten and Tony Sanchez were working at the San Diego Wave FC match concurrently, they had the game on and got together live on YouTube late Saturday night to celebrate the club's win and accomplishments. However, it's never a 100% sunshine story in San Diego sports, so there is also the issue of Chucky Lozano's absence, and head coach Mikey Varas' cryptic comment about him after the match. Get hyped up with Craig and Tony, and hear what Varas had to say in this post-match show! The guys will be back with Alex Peña on Thursday with reaction to the Western Conference Wild Card Game, and a preview of SDFC's first home playoff match on Sunday.  Make sure to subscribe to Chromaniacs on YouTube and hit the notification bell to find out every time we go live after matches!
