  • Unique, entertaining, knowdlegeable

    Incredibly fun podcast with great banter between the hosts as they thoroughly review the soccer week. I love how these guys are here for it all. Not afraid to call out bad play or give flowers when due. I am so much more knowledgeable about soccer because of these guys.
