  • 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.

  • The World Cup of Delirious

Through the hours of traveling, the ill-advised but truly appreciated (c... more

  • Got worse

    Men in Blazers has lost what made it special. It used to offer excellent Premier League coverage, thoughtful interviews, and genuinely funny banter. Now it’s mostly forced comedy, relentless USMNT hype, repeated reminders of how “American” Rog is, and far too many ads. Rory Smith is the only reason I’m not giving it one star. More Rory, less Rog.
