4.6 out of 5 stars from 781 ratings
  • Lacks quality analysis and assessment

    Disappointed in this pod. I’ve been a consumer of soccer for 40 years and their assessment/analysis is based on emotions and lacks logic. Charlie Davies is unbearable, which is consistent with his usmnt time. He will have 1 decent thought every so often but mostly just trash outlooks

  • Charlie Davies is a Bitter Man.

    Charlie’s takes are awful. I want honesty from him but it’s 100% negative from the guy. He’s correct maybe 60% of the time. Sargent to the Portuguese League is his most insane suggestion. It’s completely meaningless if he scores goals and has no development.

  • Covers it All

    These guys have all three had every possible experience in soccer. From the back of the formation to the tip of the spear, national team fringe to all time legend. Their experiences bring a lot of perspective to the conversation and they are passionate about it. When you listen you can tell how they still live the game. It’s more good to great than average to good. I love their chemistry… and Jimmy’s laugh is hilariously goofy.
