El Paso Locomotive FC

Orange County will need to get a point, and they are playing Reese.

El Paso Locomotive.

And Colorado Springs would also have to get something.

And they are playing, Rhys?

Of course, friends of the show, New Mexico United, they clinched their spot.

El Paso Locomotive, who I saw, uh, Danny Rojas, uh, appeared again.

He made his league debut.

I thought he was done.

Um, I think you both have observations of relevance on either side of the fork in the road.

Um, do we wanna go to El Paso and Lexington next as Lexington start to kind of emerge as a monstrous contender caliber team that we suspected they would be based on what they did in the off-season, having won four in a row? Or do we want to go with Miami, who have also put together a pretty significant winning streak here and just upended Tampa Bay on the road, to pretty much guarantee that they are in this playoff race for the duration down to the line now and maybe in the driver's seat ahead of Indy?

I think Miami is the bigger story this weekend.

El Paso got a player sent off.

Lexington look really good, but baiting Miami, jumping Indy, it...

When I think, John, I don't know what, you had it in your, your USLtactics.com playoff predictor a couple weeks ago, but I feel like in middle September, early September, we were saying the East is just locked.

Yeah.

Okay.

Yeah, there's only one team hotter than them in the USL championship right now.

Do you want to take a guess who the hottest team is in the USL? El Paso.

It is El Paso.

Otherwise, they have the best record in the last five matches.

So anything is possible.

Um, that first, that first objective of the Players' Shield is well within their grasp.

And we got a couple good results out west, right? So El Paso dropped some points and New Mexico dropped some points.

Yeah.

So those are the two teams that are really, really chasing when you're talking about the Players' Shield.

Yeah.

Mathematically, El Paso is still the closest team to the Rowdies.

Their maximum points, I believe, is 59 on the season.

Um, ours is at 64, so, uh, we still have that five-point cushion over them.

And then there's some short answer fill in the blanks where those are worth three points.

So the leaderboard right now, one of our chaplains, El Paso Locomotive chaplain Mike Richards, leads the board at 26 points.

I've got you set up so that you can have at least 29 points.

So you can overtake him for sure.

Carl Santé.

from Haiti as well, from El Paso Locomotive, and of course the two from Curacao.

Goes without mentioning Miami's Eloy Room.

Used to be Miami's as well, Juergen Locadia, but he's out now on Tampa Bay Route.

The club, though, you know, when making this decision, we're sitting in eighth place in the Western Conference standings.

Five games remaining, definitely on thin ice, right? Following that seven-game win this streak, dating with the side's last victory coming in August.

I'm talking August 1st against El Paso.

So, Canaan...

They've been not doing as well as late.

El Paso passed them.

But, yeah, excited for you guys.

Big upcoming stretch.

Hello and welcome to Dynamo Theater, your spot for everything Dynamo.

I'm your just recalled from loan to El Paso locomotive host, Scroggins.

And with me tonight are Manny.

What is going down in El Paso, y'all? And Kyle.

just make it up, you know?

Yeah, come on.

This is why I was on loan to El Paso Locomotive, guys.

But yeah, like, Guillaume's free kick.

Kip Keller is responsible for an own goal which allowed San Antonio FC to beat New Mexico United a few weeks ago, which stopped a 13-game unbeaten streak for New Mexico United.

So Kip Keller, outside of that one moment, still doing well in the USL Championship as New Mexico United is a game, maybe a couple points behind El Paso Locomotive.

I wonder what the, uh, tell all between, uh, Kip Keller and Jared Stroud would look like after that, uh, St. Louis debacle.

Do you mean, is this a book form or just a, like an untold documentary type thing? Whole nine.
