Episode notes
Miami's Ceiling Hinges On DePaul

- Rodrigo DePaul is shouldering Busquets-like progression duties and his turnovers directly cost Miami in both early matches.
Play Young Players When Veterans Stutter
- Trust youth and open competition when veterans aren't performing; San Diego and other clubs played youngsters and got immediate results.
- San Diego started 19-year Duran Ferry in goal and used academy subs like Alex Mighton to preserve form and foster depth.
San Diego's Youth Powered Dominance
- San Diego FC combine elite ball movement with youth development to dominate games early in the season.
- Anders Dreyer reached 20 goals and 20 primary assists faster than everyone except Messi, while academy signings like Brian Zambel and Duran Ferry are contributing immediately.
