FC Dallas kicks off their return to play Wednesday night in Portland against the Timbers, which means the Buildup is back. Sam, Garrett, and Steve break down where FC Dallas is as they begin the second leg of their MLS campaign. They talk about the one injury Dallas will contend with, the new goalkeeper in town for the Burn, and take a peek at their opponent who is coming off a 5-1 thrashing of their Cascadia rival Seattle Sounders last week.

With just two games left in the 2026 FIFA World Cup, the MLS Machine is cranking back to life tonight which means the FC Dallas Agenda is back on the tracks. Ryan, Garrett, and Steve return from hibernation to talk about their World Cup experiences along with how FC Dallas players (and the USMNT as a whole) did during this iteration of the world's greatest sporting event.

Then it's time to focus on Frisco, as the Burn's first game back is but one week away. The lads remind everyone where the club stands after two months away, updates the roster as FCD made an addition to the keeper room, and have some general thoughts about the direction of the club as the season is about to un-pause.

It's the perfect companion for the FC Dallas restart, so whether you're a long time supporter or looking forward to your first experience with the Toros this is the podcast upon which to jump in.

Before the Agenda goes into slight hibernation during the MLS summer break, the lads conveyed to talk about the reason why FC Dallas isn't playing until late July: The 2026 FIFA World Cup!

The Agenda boys also predict the tournament, including who will win, where the US will finish, and some other fun scenarios that may or may not include one member of the team putting their hair color on the line for their country. (58:28)

The pod closes out with our special guest Kelly Walker from Visit Frisco, who gives everyone some great information about where to consume the World Cup if you're not able to do so at Dallas Stadium. (1:15:56)
