  • The best!

    I love listening to Rog and Rory! No one makes me laugh in such an unexpected way. I get audible laughs every time I listen. Thank you I am so grateful to you for this wonderful podcast. P.S. why does Herc Gomez hate Pochettino?

  • Beautiful Game, Wonderful Hosts

    Rog‘s infectious sunny disposition made this curmudgeon American fall in love with the beautiful game. (Are we sure he’s from England?) World Cup coverage became part of my morning routine and I already sorely miss it. I didn’t realize they were in the Fifa Brazil World Cup video game! I’m so excited to have them as my commentary! Courage!

  • Pointless Yapping

    At one point MIB nicely filled demand for a solid football podcasts. But now with plenty of podcasts with superior analysis—e.g., The Guardian’s—MIB pales in comparison with its pointless banter and nonsensical detours.

  • Balo owns you

    I don’t like the pushing the storyline/agenda of a us wc is illegitimate because our striker got to play in a game after he was unjustly red carded in the middle of the tournament. That’s some loser baby behavior. And suspiciously selective about when and what rules you think should actually be enforced. Bad look for you soccer pundits.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Manchester United in Absolute Crisis, Aston Villa End Man City's Perfect Run, Liverpool Cruise Past Brighton: Men in Blazers 10/26/26
Q: Is Liverpool's improvement just a matter of Alexander Isak getting fit and playing regularly, or has Andoni Iraola changed something?
Smith credits fitness, regular playing time and growing confidence as the main reasons for Isak's goals, while noting that Iraola is developing a system to bring out the best in him.
Manchester United in Absolute Crisis, Aston Villa End Man City's Perfect Run, Liverpool Cruise Past Brighton: Men in Blazers 10/26/26
Q: Is there a manager who can fix United, and who will Manchester United actually choose?
Smith says Eddie Howe and Julian Nagelsmann seem plausible choices, but argues United's priority should be recruiting two under-the-radar players who can become the foundations of a team.
Morgan Rogers on Chelsea's Explosive Attack, His Friendship with Cole Palmer & Life Under Xabi Alonso | Men in Blazers 10/27/26
Q: What makes you as a front three so almost unplayable?
Rogers says he, Palmer and João Pedro attack in different ways and want the ball in different areas. Opponents who focus on one player leave opportunities for the other two.
Morgan Rogers on Chelsea's Explosive Attack, His Friendship with Cole Palmer & Life Under Xabi Alonso | Men in Blazers 10/27/26
Q: Chelsea score early, often. Three times this season you've found the back of the net inside the first minute of a half. Is this all part of a conscious game plan, Morgan, or is it just luck?
Rogers says it is neither luck nor a deliberate plan, but comes from the team's mindset and determination to start each half strongly.
Ipswich Look to Spoil Man City’s Perfect Start, Arsenal’s Attacking Evolution & Man United’s Crisis Deepens | Big Weekend Preview 10/15/26
Q: If you're Nottingham Forest, how are you understanding the Arsenal attack of this season? How do you defend against it?
Rory Smith says Forest should let Arsenal have possession and try to catch them in transition, using their defensive structure and strong home atmosphere to create danger.
