One month into its inaugural season, San Diego FC is, amazingly, undefeated. Major League Soccer’s newest team has delivered two upset victories, defeating defending MLS Cup champion LA Galaxy in its first-ever match and then bouncing Real Salt Lake on March 8 behind a pair of stoppage-time goals.

The newly-formed Major League Soccer team posted on X, formerly known as Twitter, an image of an SDFC shirt/jersey with Padres infielder Manny Machado’s last name and number on the back, and his autograph with an SDFC symbol on the front.

After navigating an early crisis brought on by fans in LAFC's expansion season, Tom Penn finds himself in similar waters in San Diego.
