  • THIS is what got me to finally write a review

    I’ve been listening to your podcast religiously for years now. It’s interesting, sometimes edgy, but with content that checks all my boxes for what I want to hear about when it comes to soccer content.

All that being said…..If you take away my “What are we watching” segm... more

  • Alexi is the problem

    Used to be a fan, before Alexi became just another Republican cliche with a mic. Big ego with little substance. Makes Americans look bad to the world. Should have stuck with soccer instead of politics. Goodbye STOU pod

  • This podcast is not great

    Lalas is an arrogant prick who is overly concerned with “hot takes.” There are way better US soccer podcasts out there. Don’t waste your time with this one.

  • More Stu Holden, less Alexi Lalas

    Hard to listen to because Trump fan Alexi always gets political.
